168: Writing alternative relationships, Q&A Part 3
Oct 09, 2023 Episode 169
Sagan Morrow

This episode provides Q&A inspired by the Weeknight Writers "Writing Alternative Relationships" panel discussion I spoke at this past summer — it's a follow up to our previous two episodes where I answered the first 5 questions: 

  • Q6: In romances, people usually expect a level of sexual tension that leads to sexual catharsis; how can you create a relationship arc where people have a similar level of emotional catharsis without the sexual aspect?
  • Q7: How do you manage a story with multiple love interests and/or romance arcs?
  • Q8: What kinds of alternative relationships do you want to see more of? How would you like existing representation of alternative relationship models to change?
  • Q9: What do you love MOST about writing the alternative relationships you do?
