Description

Greg van Eekhout joined us at Phoenix Comic Con for a live-audience Q&A session about Elemental Relationship writing. Here are the questions:

What is your favorite way to establish relationships?
How do you recover when a relationship starts to feel forced?
How do you show a "best friend" relationship?
How do you decide the pacing of the romance?
Do you try to make the nature of character relationships clear, or do you leave it to subtext?
How do you go about writing transsexual relationships?
What are your favorite relationships to write?
How do I write the beginning of a relationship between characters the reader has not yet really met?
How do you transform love into hate, and vice-versa?
When writing a love triangle, how do you avoid telegraphing the final resolution?
Do you have recommendations for books that focus on familial friend relationships rather than romance?
