Note from the Instructor: "As an erotic romance writer you must write a
solid plot along with a sizzling
romance as well as intense and in depth sex /love scenes. You must bring
your reader right into bed with your characters. Readers of erotic romances
want to be sexually aroused while reading a great romance. You will be
encouraged to use sexual terminology. Here's the rule of thumb - If you aren't
aroused when you write your love scenes then the reader won't be either."
