Use it showcase character traits that show up in intimate times. What do I want to portray in this scene?   1. Goal (character development) (ex: kindness? Make a list of how to showcase kindness.)  2. True to self 3. True to character (make a list of words that are appropriate)(Are they seasoned lovers or innocent?)   Fight scenes and sex scenes have some similarities. Common mistakes: Boring, gloss over, not relevant   What makes a good sex scene? Humanize the character Describe details without words that shock you or take you out of the story. Natural. Aligned with personal experience.   Don't feel the speed bump going into the scene.   Follow the Golden Rules of writing just as you would in any other scene. Use the same language in the spicy scenes as the rest of the book.   Shorter sentences in action scenes. Sure. But use the same type of language.   Go through the process of char dev for a reason. Know your character. It pays off when you get to the more complicated scenes (fight, action, sex). Inherent traits. Did I stay true to this character? Did I learn something about a character? Nice place to set up the psychology of a character. Vulnerable scenes are where we learn about the character. Character insight no where else.   What about flashbacks in the scene?

“Weird isn't weird if you own it. It's your superpower.”  Michael Dargie catches up with novelist and writing coach April Dávila for a conversation full of unexpected turns, from evacuating wildfires in L.A. to fondling caramel tubes at Starbucks (it's a writer thing). This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. April shares how she helps writers navigate the mental blocks that stop them from putting words on the page. Her approach blends mindfulness with craft, helping people move past their inner critic, beat imposter syndrome, and finally get the damn thing written. Her motto: persistence over talent, every day of the week. She also talks about her upcoming nonfiction book on mindfulness and writing, belly dancing as self-care, and how asking weird questions is part of the job. And yes, her first novel is set on an ostrich farm in the Mojave. Because why not? This episode is for anyone with a story in them—and a little weird in their heart. Quotable Quotes “There are two kinds of writers—those who get published, and those who quit.” “Persistence over talent. Every day of the week.” “You don't kill your inner critic. You just tell her to wait her turn.” “Once a story gets its hooks in you, you're kind of screwed.” “Weird isn't weird if you own it. It's your superpower.”  Episode Highlights Wildfire Evacuation | The things you grab when you have 20 minutes Writing & Mindfulness | Coaching authors through fear and resistance The Inner Critic | Why she belongs in the corner, not the driver's seat Weird Questions | Life as a curious fiction writer Books & Backgrounds | Grapes of Wrath to pandemic romance Belly Dancing | April's answer to self-care and teenage independence Walking as Writing | Why movement unlocks creativity Creative Lives | Novels about ostriches, ultramarathons, and gold miners COVID Reading | Escaping reality with fantasy and HEA romance Rebels in Waiting | Own your weird, find your people, write the story LINKS FROM EPISODE April's Website (aprildavila.com) April's LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/aprildavila) Daily Writing Group (aprildavila.com/write) Get Your Copy of Michael's Book: "BrandJitsu™: Move Your Brand From 'Meh' To Memorable" Indigo | Barnes & Noble | MichaelDargie.com

"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." This is the desire of a man who has been saved from sin and damnation by Jesus, and now lives only for Him. Paul's dilemma is not born of doubt, but of devotion. His heart is stretched between two holy desires: to serve Jesus on earth--or to see Jesus in Heaven. "For to me, to live is Christ" meant that Paul viewed Jesus as his absolute Lord and Master. His life was not his own. Whether preaching in synagogues, writing letters in prison, or suffering beatings and rejection--he counted it all as "fruitful labor" for his Savior. He did not crave ease, pleasure, or honor. So long as his heart beat, it would beat for the Lord Jesus. Yet "to die is gain." Not because Paul saw death as an escape from trouble, but because he saw death as the entrance to endless joy. Death for him was not the end of life--it was the beginning of glory. He does not speak of death with hesitation, but with longing. "To depart and be with Christ... which is better by far!" Not just better, but far better! His heart was not attached to this fleeting and disappointing world. Paul realized that on the day of his death, he would behold King Jesus in all of His beauty! Still, Paul says, "it is more necessary for you that I remain." This is the heart of a true shepherd of souls. Though he yearned for Heaven, he willingly delays his crown for the sake of God's flock. What an example of selfless devotion. Dear believer, are you living in Paul's dilemma? Does your heart long for Jesus above all, yet remain gladly willing to labor on for His name's sake? The Christian life is marked by a holy tension: a life fully yielded here, and a soul homesick for Hea

For those that don't know, I started HEA in 2020 to interview ADs in hopes of studying the position as a career one day in a research setting or at an industry search firm. I will be finishing my doctorate dissertation on athletic director hiring trends in 2025-2026 academic year, so I thought it was time I start finding my own voice on the subject of AD hires and AD trends. instead of only asking the questions.In this episode, I give my take on the AD opening and talk about the names being mentioned in Tampa Bay outlets. I also offer my out-of-left-field candidate and make a prediction on who I think will get the job - if they want it - with an in-depth reason. And I don't think the ongoing presidential search has to delay their search for a new AD.If you are listening to this because you are interested in the AD opening at USF, then I invite you to read the HEA Briefing I completed in the show notes below. The purpose of the HEA Briefing is to give administrators an understanding of the political landscape of the institution and its location to help them improve their political IQ and awareness of trends in higher education.

You're catching this Health Happy Life podcast replay at the perfect time, especially with everything swirling around the Diddy trial right now. I spent this past Monday breaking down the medical reality behind what we're seeing unfold in those courtroom testimonies, and honestly? The connections between PTSD and domestic violence run deeper than most people realize.Since June marks PTSD Awareness Month, we couldn't ignore how this high-profile case spotlights trauma's ripple effects. But here's what really gets me fired up: the myths people still believe about trauma responses. We're setting the record straight on that.Billy Joel's recent tour cancellation opened up another crucial conversation about normal pressure hydrocephalus. Why are we missing these signs so often? The symptoms masquerade as "normal aging," but they're anything but normal.Then there's this eye-opening cannabis study that's got everyone talking about heart health warnings. Should we be concerned? I'm walking you through what the research actually tells us.And Kandi Burruss sharing her family's Alzheimer's journey? That hits different when you understand how this disease reshapes entire family dynamics, not just one person's life.This podcast is intended to be informational only.  It is not a medical consultation, nor is it personalized medical advice.  For medical advice, please consult your physician.#HealthHappyLifePodcast #DrFrita #MedicalMondays #MedicineInTheNewsHere are a few helpful resources to help on your journey to wellness:▶️ Subscribe so you will never miss a YouTube video.

In this episode of R2 Cents, I talk about the mental gymnastics behind “community guidelines,” how saying the word discipline gets you age-restricted, and how calling someone a Neanderthal is somehow a violation.We cover the Palm Springs bombing and the motive behind it, the ridiculousness of job interview questions, and how fake meat has been on our plates longer than you think.Also: lasers starting fires, head transplants being real now, Trump's meeting with the Saudis (and how one guy there was on the FBI's Most Wanted list), and why sports talk podcasts ain't it.

www.HigherEdAthletics.com. Nathan Christensen joins HEA to discuss several topics, including his journey to the role, how he specifically prepared for the interview process at ISU, and the unique timing of stepping in alongside new university president, Dr. Mike Godard. Interesting tidbit for those that will interview with a search firm - Christensen was asked in two different AD searches about who he hangs out with in the industry at conferences, etc. Relationships matter. Christensen discusses the strategies he's been bringing to Terre Haute in the past year, the strength of ISU's consistent and committed athletic administrators (60ish years at ISU among three top administrators) and how that foundation supports a new era of leadership. We also dive into pressing topics in college athletics—from the emotional impact of the transfer portal on mid-major programs like ISU's men's basketball team, to ISU's decisions and strategies with financial decisions, like life after the expected NCAA House settlement. He ends the conversation with three areas he thinks are important for aspiring athletic directors: being a visionary...having emotional intelligence...and a strong political IQ.0:00 Introduction1:40 Preparing for the ISU AD Search7:45 Strategies he thought could work at ISU early on11:00 Being President Godard's first hire and working together on a big agenda15:30 Consistency of ISU Athletic Administration21:20 Education level of donors/fans after Men's Basketball complete roster overhaul in 202426:40 Explaining the Investor Society to help increase fundraising efforts28:40 ISU's plans for the House Settlement33:00 Three pieces of advice for aspiring ADs (Visionary, Emotional Intelligence, Political IQ)

She used all her sex appeal and her beautiful siren singing voice to draw him in...as a siren-fairy-human, she had special abilities. But what she needed most was his cock.Audiobook Blurb: Gabriella can smell men. Which is a good thing since she desperately needs men. It's not every fairy who also has siren in her, which allows her to use her irresistible singing voice to draw them nearer. Since she can't leave her invisible cage, this is a very useful talent, especially when it comes to drawing men to her area of the forest. Most men will do, however, they only stay for little while.When she senses Leif hiking down the path, she experiences the usual growth in her size, which is imperative because if he can't see her, none of the good stuff will happen. He's different than the other men were, he might just be the solution she seeks. But then there's also the other paralyzing problem of trying to attain her freedom. All she desires is a happier, less lonely life once again, human sized.Tropes:*Open Door, HEA Spicy Romantasy, spicy erotic romance fiction.*Lust First, sexuality.*Forced proximity.*Shrinking woman, growing woman.*She needs a hero.*He's a cinnamon roll.*The miracle they seek, they don't know all the rules.Wingless Hunger is a novella, book 1 of 4 in the Arching Hunger series.Subscription Process:Join now for access to all the padlocked episodes!

Her expertise extends across child psychology, teacher wellbeing, interventions for anxiety and depression, and inclusion for neurodivergent learners and educators.An Accomplished AuthorIn addition to her work as an educator and researcher, Dr. Gibson is also an accomplished author. Her latest book, Who Am I Teaching?: How a Better Understanding of Children Improves Primary Teaching and Learning, takes a deep dive into the complexities children bring to the classroom.
