(=<br /><br />I love the dialog between Alex and Juli! That there is my answer to your question, too. The most enjoyment I get from writing my scenes is being able to write dialog that wouldn't *ever* come out of my mouth in real life (at least not in public, around dignified folk, when I'm sober...okay, okay, so maybe it slips out ONCE in awhile). Heehee.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the scene you had the most fun with!

Not just the cheese doodle references but the fact that Juli and Alex practically get their heads stuck in the balcony bars trying to see what's going on. I scared my dogs I laughed so hard when I read that in the book and again just now. Love it. Love scenes like that. I can imagine what a blast they are to write.

Best scene in a romantic comedy ever, at least IMO, and that's a serious comment.<br /><br />As far as the favorite scene I've ever written - that's more difficult. I'll have to give that one some thought.<br /><br />I'm too blown away by the cheese doodles to think clearly at the moment.Susan Shttp://www.susanspann.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-49283908889602494032011-10-19T09:38:19.796-07:002011-10-19T09:38:19.796-07:00I absolutely love that scene!

It makes me laugh helplessly every time I read it.<br /><br />Here are a few scenes I've had fun writing:<br /><br />Protag imagines that the hairy biker she just met is wearing a Marilyn Munroe halter dress, but the image gets sidetracked and ends with him mooning her.<br /><br />Protag discovers that a cute little white-haired granny runs a sex shop. Granny introduces her to a penis-shaped body pillow.<br /><br />Protag takes a hit to the head and thinks she's hallucinating elves.<br /><br />I had lots of fun writing these, and other scenes, too, but none of them can rival your cheese doodle scene. :-)Diane Hendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563115165301223420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-8432323482000704392011-10-19T08:38:20.845-07:002011-10-19T08:38:20.845-07:00I do believe it reads even funnier the second time...I do believe it reads even funnier the second time through. Fantastic scene. Shiver me timbers, indeed.<br /><br />Oh, and since I've been so busy in recent months, I neglected to stop by and say I enjoyed all of <i>Making Waves</i>. In fact, I've had to revise my stance on the genre; now, instead of "I don't read romance," it's "I only read romance written by Tawna Fenske." Such is the power of the cheese doodle.Nate Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690171790664252309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-2490763171270310942011-10-19T08:12:07.781-07:002011-10-19T08:12:07.781-07:00I aspire to someday write a scene as hilarious as ...I aspire to someday write a scene as hilarious as your cheese doodle scene.Linda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576828490765434497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-64249393376572233472011-10-19T07:16:43.157-07:002011-10-19T07:16:43.157-07:00Wow.

I told a fellow author just yesterday that many romances don't appeal to me because the get-together scenes are almost too perfect. I like the idea of couples bumping noses, literally or figuratively. A good relationship takes a little work and humor. I like that in your novel! Great scene.Julie Gloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14750682989494250914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-72940983831707874672011-10-19T06:40:03.683-07:002011-10-19T06:40:03.683-07:00"really tacky sex" hahaha!
