Muse Food – Hidden From Immediate View

By Cynthia Sax on March 30, 2026

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this beautiful flower hidden from our immediate view by lush green leaves. We had to crouch to see it.

Is there something your main character notices that no one else does because it is hidden from immediate view or semi-concealed?

This could be their love interest’s true character or an explosive device placed by an enemy or a safe concealed behind a painting or something else.

(This happens quite often in murder mysteries. – grins)

How does that hidden something change your character’s future?

The White Lotus, Season Three, And Knowing The Ending

By Cynthia Sax on May 2, 2025

Spoiler Alert – This post will talk about The White Lotus, Season Three, and it WILL contain spoilers. If you haven’t yet watched this miniseries, you might wish to skip this post.

One of the many things I love about romance novels is…

We, readers, KNOW the ending to all of them. We know the characters featured in the book description end up with a romantic happy ever after or a romantic happy for now.

Part of the fun is figuring out how they get to that point, how they manage to find that romantic happiness and make their unique relationship work.

The seasons of The White Lotus are set up very similarly. Except we are shown in the first episode that at least one character ends up dead. And our journey is to figure out how the characters get to that point.

To tell a viewer or a reader the ending of a story and then maintain their interest throughout that story takes GREAT skill. It is dang impressive.
