Windows to the Soul

In the spirit of love and passion and all those primitive traits that make humans tempting sexual creatures, comes my three-part series: Irresistible Body Parts.

In this three-week series, I’d like to discuss the parts of our bodies that make us so attractive to the opposite sex. Week Three: Eyes. (Note: For those keeping track, yes, I missed my mark of posting this last week, lol).

Our eyes, they are one of the most expressive parts of bodies, they can convey happiness, warmth, love, anger, loss, and despair.

Have you ever flipped through a novel and read about a particular seductress who makes men melt with her gaze? Or, have you heard women talking about a guy whose "bedroom eyes" are enough to make a girl weak in the knees? I think we all have. Maybe that's why in many ways this type of non-verbal communication is more powerful than spoken words.

Take women’s eyes for example. When a woman looks at a man in a certain way, she has his undivided attention, instantly. Over many decades studies have proven that men use the art of eye flirting a little differently, however. When a man looks at a woman's eyes he focuses (whether conscious or subconscious) on her pupils then in the white areas. If a woman's white areas are bright and her eyelashes are thick and long these are excellent indicators of good health. And women in good health have the best chances at reproducing and carrying healthy babies to term (this according to different sources). 

Now, seeing as the eyes pass so much information to the brain each and every second, let's take a look at some important eye mannerisms and what they say about us.

--Glaring eyes intimidate. In males it may immediately trigger fight or flight responses.

--Small constricted pupils indicate lack of interest.

--Lowering the eyes/eyelids indicate modesty and/or submission.

--Frequent blinking during conversation indicates high interest. Some females use a rapid flutter technique to get a man's attention.

--Hooded eyes indicate passion and perhaps sexual interest.

Well, there you have it folks, the conclusion of my three-part series, Irresistible Body Parts.

Stop by soon!

Writing is HARD work. There I said it!

Recently, I had a conversation with a fellow writer about different writing styles. We talked about how some writers can simply sit down on a computer and write on command; I cannot. My pre-writing process can take me ten, fifteen, twenty minutes or more and it usually involves me ‘getting in to character’; I need to connect with the hero and heroine before I can delve into their lives. It is then when I’m emotionally attached that ideas begin to form I’m able to capture the thoughts and the scenes and the story begins to unfold. I can tell you that when I begin to write a story, I too experience the same nervousness that a lot of writers feel. Will anyone read my stuff? Will anyone care about what I have to say? This is the fretful process of a writer, yet, we, I, push forward and write with excitement, optimism, and a lot of discipline. On an amusing note (or maybe not so) one thing that we, writers, often encounter is that non-writers tend to think that writing is easy....

A Long Weekend Ahead :-)

Family/Friends: For many Americans this is the first big holiday since New Year's (not many people get Civil Rights or even President's Day off for that matter), so I hope you have fun plans and enjoy the time outdoors with  family and friends. A quick update about my writing, I have received feedback from three publishers and although all of it has been positive it will require me to revise 75% of my work (each story  is >6K words), needless to say the task at hand is somewhat dauting.  I have, however, taken a couple of days just to think about the best approach and plan on implementing some of my ideas this weekend.  To those of you who keep up with me (Twitter, FB, this blog, etc.) I truly appreciate it.  You keep my spirits up when the 'doubt bug' creeps in. Take care and 'til next time! Maria
