If her identity is exposed, she'd feel fear? Horror? The smells make her stomach knot in what? Fear? Loathing? Disgust? Excitement? Then she's ready to drop angry tears. At the beginning, give the reader one predominate emotion to feel; you can layer others in later, of course.Sophianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-66110205116128651882010-03-25T12:19:00.691-04:002010-03-25T12:19:00.691-04:00Like some of the others, seeing a regency romance ...Like some of the others, seeing a regency romance mention sex and a torture chamber in the first line is a bit of a turn-off.
