Although coming into the story confused because of the blurb, Ines and Leslye dissect this dual love story, of sorts in Resonance Surge. The main love story revolves around a Changeling bear with foresight and a wounded Psy with a past filled with childhood trauma. Woven with real life stories of Psy siblings before silence, as well as tales from the present day consequences of Silence falling, this addition to Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series packs an emotional punch.   Sign up for author Nalini Singh's newsletter to receive fan service here: https://nalinisingh.com/   Want the official Psy-Changeling Reading Order?

In this episode, we explore Nalini Singh's Storm Echo, in which we visit both the amnesia and second chance at love tropes. The story centers on Lei, a Changeling healer with little memory of her past, and Ivan Mercant, a man whose own turbulent past haunts him. As their paths cross, they not only navigate the complexities of their emerging feelings but also piece together the scattered fragments of Lei's memory—and a past that once included Ivan.

In this episode, we tackle the "messy middle" of the second act. One of the solutions we offer involves a series of Try Fail cycles, where the protagonist encounters a carefully designed obstacle course that tests their resolve and pushes the plot forward. Ines emphasizes the importance of a structured approach to these cycles, suggesting that each cycle should include a plan, an obstacle, a setback, a scene of growth, and a regrouping phase to maintain narrative momentum and character development. While Leslye insists the best way to get out of the middle is with the "Yes, But" or "No, And" formula. This method ensures that each scene contributes to escalating the stakes—when a character succeeds ('Yes'), there's a complicating factor ('But'), and when they fail ('No'), the situation worsens or changes direction ('And'). This episode is packed with practical advice and approaches to help authors refine their storytelling skills, keep readers engaged through the mid-point of their books, and effectively develop their narratives towards a satisfying climax.    Sign up for author Nalini Singh's newsletter to receive fan service here: https://nalinisingh.com/ Want the official Psy-Changeling Reading Order?

Today, we discuss the crux of romantic comedies: the deception and the revelation.  Ines postulates that there are four types of Romantic Comedy Deceptions: the Merry War, Identity Deception, Bet or Wager Deception, and the Magic Potion Deception. Each of these deceptions creates obstacles for the characters to overcome on their journey to finding true love. The eventual revelation and resolution of these deceptions not only provide satisfying conclusions, but also highlight themes of authenticity, vulnerability, and the transformative power of love. And the humor comes as the characters continually try to conceal the deception.  The Shakespeare article mentioned about the Merry War: https://www.shakespearesglobe.com/discover/blogs-and-features/2022/04/20/much-ado-about-nothing-a-battle-of-wits/    BOOKS AND FILMS MENTIONED: Leap Year: https://amzn.to/3VEagl8  The Proposal: https://amzn.to/3TWykhR  The Hating Game book: https://amzn.to/3TULaNl The Hating Game movie on Amazon Prime: https://amzn.to/3IXh6KM  Romancing the Beat by Gwen Hayes: https://amzn.to/4cDndS0  Pretty Woman: https://amzn.to/4axnAf5  Notting Hill: https://amzn.to/3PFvlYD  Ten Things I Hate About You: https://amzn.to/49agPio  How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days: https://amzn.to/3xmvbPg  No Hard Feelings: https://amzn.to/3TWZBki  Thirteen Going on Thirty: https://amzn.to/3PFj6eu  Groundhog's Day: https://amzn.to/3PFj6eu  Freaky Friday: https://amzn.to/3PIwXkd  What Women Want: https://amzn.to/3TVFXVE  What Men Want: https://amzn.to/49ahZug  Love Potion No. 9: https://amzn.to/3VCrbUT  The Little Mermaid: https://amzn.to/3xpxpxi  Splash: https://amzn.to/43H3zAz  Mannequin: https://amzn.to/49f9sWL  Penelope: https://amzn.to/4acTdek  Crazy Rich Asians: https://amzn.to/49izisW    Sign up for author Nalini Singh's newsletter to receive fan service here: https://nalinisingh.com/ Want the official Psy-Changeling Reading Order?

Today's topic is one that sets our hearts racing and pages turning: the Enemies to Lovers trope. We dissect some of the most iconic enemies to lovers stories in literature and on screen and dive deep into the intoxicating dance of characters who start off at odds, only to find their hearts entwined as the story unfolds and explore why this trope captures our imaginations and keeps us hooked, from the fiery initial clashes to the eventual tender admissions of love.    Grab Leslye's current favorite The Hating Game, the book https://amzn.to/3N9sUwa or the film https://amzn.to/3RaLzce.   Interested in the Save the Cat plotting method?

In our second episode, we take a hard look at the quintessential romance hero: Fitzwilliam Darcy and how his character has crafted so many that came after him in what Ines (not Leslye!) likes to call the Darcy Arc. Ines postulates that the Darcy Arc can be found in the evolution of characters like Edward Cullen from Twilight and Christian Grey from Fifty Shades of Grey. These characters begin as misunderstood and emotionally distant figures who eventually reveal a deeper capacity for love and kindness. This transformation, triggered by their relationships with strong-willed heroines, sees them shift from aloofness to passionate commitment. The discussion highlights common elements across these stories, such as the challenges of wealth and status, the heroes' moral complexities, and their ultimate transformation through love, which captivates readers and makes these stories enduringly appealing.   Read Pride and Prejudice Want to watch it?
