Chasing Perfection

Fio had been stuck on chapter five of her work-in-progress for two weeks. She'd gone over it again and again, tweaking bits and pieces, but the picnic in the park, which is the novella's first big turning point, still didn't work.

Enter the hero--the box of books from the romance writers' contest for which Fiorella signed up to be one of the judges. There's nothing like analyzing someone else's opus to  clear your mind about your own.  Fio, kill the picnic scene--remember, you've set the story in March, which is the last dregs of winter, and you made it rain the night before. Cold and soggy is not an an ideal setting for a romantic tryst.
