“ Flat or boring characters who are underdeveloped are never going to light up a scene, no matter how many tricks you pull.” - Savannah GilboIf you're writing romance, the chemistry and tension between your characters can make or break your story. Let's explore how to create romantic chemistry between two characters in an authentic and compelling way to keep readers on the edge of their seats. Here's a preview of what's included:[01:44] What is chemistry?[03:01] The first thing we need to do when creating chemistry between two characters is to have fully fleshed-out characters with their own goals, motivations, and inner obstacles.[03:42] Capitalize on opportunities for opposition and harmony between your characters.[07:41] The 3 key ingredients of chemistry are vulnerability, desire, and resistance[09:14] Examples from Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.[17:51] Writing romantic tension between romantic and non-romantic characters[22:56]  If you want to master crafting irresistible chemistry and tension, I highly recommend studying your favorite stories. This is the best way to improve your writing. You can ask yourself questions like:What do I like about the chemistry and tension between these two characters?How did the author play on each character's vulnerabilities within the relationship?What does each character like (or desire) about the other (physically, mentally, and emotionally)?How did the author create resistance between the characters? Why do the characters not want the relationship to move forward?What can I replicate in my own writing?And if you need help getting started with your story, check out my FREE Story Starter Kit: 5 Questions To Ask Before You Start Writing.

Notes:Names are important. Towards the beginning of this conversation we talk about how to pronounce Helen Hoang's last name. We were close, but a little off. The phonetic spelling of Hoang is HHWae-NG.The Verbivore references several details from author Helen Hoang's author's note that was included in the back of her paperback edition. Fable references a series that we did on Fable and the Verbivore about writing Romantic Chemistry and another on Physical Intimacy taken from a behavioral psychology perspective.

We're all looking for that elusive, ‘spark' – but what really ignites a long-lasting relationship? There is good news, Science is closing in on the answers. For centuries, our romantic fates were thought to be written in the stars. Wealthy families would even pay fortunes to have a matchmaker foretell the success, or failure of a potential marriage. Despite the lack of any good evidence for its accuracy, astrology still thrives in many lifestyle magazines, while the more sceptical among us, might hope to be guided by the algorithms, of websites and dating apps. But are these programs any more rigorous than the signs of the zodiac? Or, should we put our faith in love languages, and attachment theory? (That's to name just two fashions in pop psychology). The world of matchmaking, is riddled with myths, and misunderstandings that recent science, is just starting to unravel. From the inevitably messy data, a few clear conclusions, are emerging that can help guide us in our search for true love. If you are looking for the secrets of romantic success, the most obvious place to start, would seem to be the science of personality. If you are an outgoing party animal, you might hope to find someone with a similar level of extraversion; if you are organised, and conscientious, you might expect to feel a stronger connection, with someone who enjoys keeping a rigid schedule. The scientific research does offer some support for the intuitive notion, that “like attracts like”, but in the grand scheme of things, the similarity of personality profiles, is relatively unimportant. “Yes, it is true that people are more likely to experience chemistry, with someone who is similar to them, in certain ways,” explains Prof Harry Reis, at the University of Rochester, New York. “But if I brought you in a room with 20 people, who are similar to you in various ways, the odds that you're going to have chemistry, with more than one of them, are not very good.” It is only the extreme differences, Reis says, that will matter, in your first meetings. “It's not likely, that you would have chemistry,with somebody who is very dissimilar to you.” The rest is just noise. The same goes for shared interests. “The effects are so tiny,” says Prof Paul Eastwick at the University of California. Eastwick found similarly disappointing results when he looked at people's “romantic ideals” – our preconceived notions, of the particular qualities we would want in our dream partner. I might say that I value kindness above all other qualities, for instance, and you might say you are looking for someone who is adventurous, and free-spirited. You'd think we'd know what we want – but the research suggests otherwise. While it's true, that certain qualities, such as kindness, or adventurousness, are generally considered to be attractive, experiments on speed-daters, suggest that people's particular preferences tend to matter very little, in their face-to-face interactions. Someone who stated that they were looking for kindness, for example, would be just as likely to click, with someone who scored high on adventurousness, – and vice versa. Despite our preconceptions, we seem open, to a wide variety of people, showing generally positive attributes. “We can't find evidence that some people really weigh some traits over others,” Eastwick says. He compares it to going out to a restaurant, ordering a specific dinner, then swapping food with the table next to yours. You're just as likely to enjoy the random dish, as the one you'd originally ordered. Given this growing body of research, Eastwick is generally very sceptical that computer algorithms can accurately match people for chemistry, or compatibility. Working with Prof Samantha Joel at Western University in Canada, he has used a machine learning program, to identify any combinations of traits, that would

Amy's empowering theory: think of romantic chemistry in terms of scientific chemistry.  True romantic chemistry is objective, not subjective: it's always mutual on both sides, matter-of-fact, and can't be faked or forced. Seeing chemistry this way makes dating much much easier, as it basically eliminates the entire concept of rejection.

How to ensure romantic chemistry and prevent awkward dates so you can improve your seduction and dating experiences. In this video coaching newsletter I discuss an email from a thirty four year old viewer who met a woman recently on the dating app Tinder. They had a really good conversation on the phone and agreed to meet in person in her town. When they finally met in person, her interest and enthusiasm seemed to decrease the longer they were on the date. By the end of the date and when it was time for him to catch the last train home, he didn't even try to kiss her because things had become so awkward and there were no signs of interest from her. He texted her a few days later to schedule another date, but she ghosted him. He wants to know where he went wrong so he can do better next time.

After the insanity that was the Harley Merlin Halloween special, I'm back with our regularly scheduled programming. This week I'm talking about Ties That Tether by Jane Igahro, which is a book about Azere, who has to decide between being with the man she loves or being in her mother's life. I get off topic at least five times during the plot summary, finally find a book with good romantic chemistry between the two main characters, and reveal my love of angst.

Notes:The Verbivore paraphrases a quote that Pixar storyteller Andrew Stanton included in his Ted Talk titled “The Clues to a great story”. That quote comes from time stamp 2:10 of the youtube.com video, and references words given to children’s TV host Mr. Rogers by Mary Lou Kownacki. He kept this written on a piece of paper in his wallet. The quote is as follows:“Frankly, there isn’t anyone you couldn’t learn to love once you’ve heard their story.”There are a variety of theories and models that describe and define elements of romantic chemistry and interpersonal attraction. We choose one that spoke to us and made sense within our own life experience. The romantic chemistry framework using 4 types of attraction (Physical, Intellectual, Social, and Emotional) that the Verbivore mentioned comes from several sources, but was most informed by author Kristen Kieffer’s Well-Storied blog post “How to Craft Romantic Chemistry Between Characters”. Here are Kristen Kieffer’s definitions of the 4 attraction types:Physical Attraction: a desire to touch and be touched by another person, often in a sexual manner.Intellectual Attraction: a desire to engage with someone due to their intellect and/or interests.Social Attraction: a desire to interact with someone because of their social aptitude; their confidence, humor, ambition, likability, and/or particular social personality traits.Emotional Attraction: a desire to connect with someone on a spiritual level, an attraction often prompted by a person’s emotional capacity, attitude, beliefs, or shared experiences.Books Mentioned:The Winner’s Curse by Marie RutkoskiThe Winner’s Crime by Marie RutkoskiThe Winner’s Kiss by Marie RutkoskiRomeo and Juliet by William ShakespeareMusic from: https://filmmusic.io’Friendly day’ by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

If you are interested in exploring this research, here are some links to additional information on this topic:https://www.gottman.com/blog/turn-toward-instead-of-away/https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/06/happily-ever-after/372573/The quote that the Verbivore shared from Anne Lamott is taken from her book entitled Small Victories: Spotting Improbable Moments of Grace. Here is the full quote:“We turn toward love like sunflowers to the sun, and then the human parts kick in.”The “Welcome to Costco. I [We] love you.” quote is from the odd 2006 comedic, dystopian film Idiocracy.Books Mentioned:Pride and Prejudice by Jane AustenMuch Ado About Nothing by William ShakespeareRomeo and Juliet by William ShakespeareThe Graveyard Book by Neil GaimanFavorite Movie & TV Versions:BBC’s Pride and Prejudice - Epic 6-Episode Full Story VersionStarring Jennifer Ehle and Colin FirthPride and Prejudice - Sweet and Stunning Cliff Notes VersionStarring Kiera Knightley, Matthew Macfadyen, and Donald SutherlandPride + Prejudice + Zombies - Jane Austen plus a Zombie Apocalypse Version (Because why not?)Starring Lily James, Sam Riley, and Matt SmithMuch Ado About Nothing - Filmed in the Italian Countryside VersionStarring Emma Thompson, Kenneth Brenagh, Denzel Washington, and Michael KeatonMuch Ado About Nothing - Black and White Joss Whedon VersionStarring Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Clark Gregg, and Nathan FillionRomeo & Juliet - Beautifully Acted “likely-seen-in-your-English-class” 1968 VersionStarring Leonard Whiting and Olivia HusseyWilliam Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet - Baz Luhrmann Fever Dream VersionStarring Claire Danes, Leonardo DiCaprio, and John LeguizamoMusic from: https://filmmusic.io’Friendly day’ by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Episode Transcript: www.well-storied.com/chemistryThere's something magical about romance, with its unique tension and allure and its will-they-or-won’t-they mystery that leads to such great page-turning material. But that material can’t exist without strong romantic chemistry between the characters in question (as evidenced by many a lackluster rom-com, right?). And unfortunately, chemistry isn’t exactly easy to define or to craft.That's why I'm sharing everything I've learned about building romantic chemistry between characters in today's episode, from what chemistry is to the four types of attraction that can lead to romantic chemistry and the key to crafting chemistry readers can believe in.Enjoy the show?

Romantic Chemistry isn't always black and white. Sometimes it's grey and takes a while to warm up to someone. Whether it takes one date, or 10 dates, it's one of the most important ingredients in a relationship. In our opinion.

This is a special Xmas in July,  Balls Out, episode not for those with sensitive ears.   The “Explicit” light went on early in this one. . . and never went out.   What happens when WWE’s Kevin Thorn stops by to have a few brews with the Pigs at Alley’s Alehouse?  Lots of fun and chaos!   The show got so out of hand, it took over 11 months to edit and release with an NC17 rating, but it was too good and the boys had too much fun on this one to not let it out.   Joining us for the evening(although he may wished he was not there) was the tenderloin, Chris Clark.  No way to break this one down.  Although he’s known to most the world as Kevin Thorn or Mordecai, we are privileged to know the man behind the tights, our friend, Kevin Fertig.  And Kevin goes deep and tells all in this one.  From his love of spandex, wrestling woes(and where fingers sometimes go), to an odd one on one in politics with Dougy Fresh.  But we also get the softer side to this friendly giant as we learn his number one focus in life, family.  (Which is about the only sweet thing to happen in this episode.) They get a bit personal and divulge what they are all wearing underneath, Jordan once again claims his love of the Dickel, and then they explore things they never thought they would . . . or should.  But through all the weirdness, they do talk beer and whiskey as they enjoy some Romantic Chemistry from Dogfish Head Brewery, Tiberius from Scarlet Lane, and a shot of Few Bourbon. An all adult show for certain, but an all around entertaining night they can’t wait to do again. . . next time in the privacy of Kevin’s private bar where they can really cut loose.   Cheers! Shout outs in this episode include:  Eddy’s Sports Pub, Douglas Sheets, PBR, Duluth Trading Company, and George Dickel

00:00:00 - Kelly is back and she's got an update on some scientists that seem to have found a way to stem the spread of the chytrid fungus affecting all those poor froggies. Hope on the horizon? Maybe, but it'll be a hard technique to apply large scale. We also spend some time talking about a Civil War story involving glowing wounds the help soldiers survive. A science fair project may have found the answer, but Ryan still thinks a body farm experiment needs to be done. 00:28:10 - A stiff drink used to be the only painkiller you might get. Kelly's drink isn't stiff but it still provokes a strong reaction: water kefir. After painstakingly explaining what is and how she made it, Abe and Ryan have nothing good to say. Abe tries to salvage the conversation with some Romantic Chemistry, but alas it falls a bit short. Ryan tries to avoid Kelly's wrath when talking about the Pinchgut Hollow Buckwheat Moonshine his Dad gave him. 00:40:50 - Did you know China has a rover on the moon? Turns out China has a rover on the moon. And it did some science! Researchers have announced that they've found a new type of lunar basalt. Sounds straightforward enough but Abe explains the complexities. 01:01:58 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like Chinese lunar rovers; most Americans don't even know they exist. Kelly has an e-mail from former guest of the show Zeka Kuspa, who wants to know if the now extinct Condor louse makes her list of eradicated parasites. Abe reads an e-mail from Steven who's asking for some help tracking down a particular SoCal beer. We don't have a specific answer, but it sounds like he just needs to keep trying Imperial Pilsners. Ryan rounds out the show with a new recurring donation from Leong all the way in Taiwan. Thanks, Leong! Ryan, of course, plugs his ongoing crowdfunding campaign, go watch the video and consider donating here!   Thanks for listening and be sure to check out the Brachiolope Media Network for more great science podcasts!   Music for this week's show: Glowworm - Apples in Stereo Moonshine - Lit The Rover - Led Zeppelin
