Romance Novel
Do you think you have a great romance novel inside
you that you think about writing someday? Most
people think they have at least one good novel
inside them. Life is a soap opera many times. Real is
often more weird than make believe. Most women
are romantics and think life and relationships
should be a certain way. Romance novel writers
know how women think and what they dream about.
Do you think you are a woman, or man for that
matter, who knows how women feel and what their
hopes and dreams are? If so, you could write a
great romance novel. One of the most famous
romance novelists who ever lived died in 2001. I
think she wrote many books a year. The basic
characters always seemed to be the same but in
different surroundings. She understood the basic
human character and how people react to each
other. She also knew a good story about romance
did not have to be overtly sexual.
One of my favorite authors wrote many books about
the south. She told a good story but she also did
her homework. She made the old south come alive.
Her characters were vivid and well described to the
reader. She did research about the time period she
was placing her characters in. She knew the places
they lived and worked in during their lives in her
books. She knew the clothes they would be
wearing, what they would have eaten, their social
situations, family values and traditions, the morals
of the time period, what was acceptable and not
acceptable, what a woman's life was like when she
was pampered and when she had to work very hard
outside her home. Pioneer ladies were tough. They
plowed the fields, washed laundry in wooden tubs,
made the bread and butter, cooked three hardy
meals a day and had the babies and raised them.
And we think we have it rough! Can you make your
leading lady come alive and have us empathize with
her?

BRINGING BACK MEMORIES
Do you still remember your first love? How you felt
when he was close to you? How your heart pounded
and you thought you could not get a good breath?
Try to remember. It will help you write a better story
about romantic characters.
Who was your first love?
What attracted you to him?
Where did you go on your first date?
Did others think he was as wonderful as you did?
What did he look like?
Were his eyes sky blue or sultry brown?
Did your skin tingle when he touched you the first
time?
How did it feel the first time he kissed you?
Where were you when you were kissed for the first
time?
Were you on your parents couch at home or at a
party where they were playing a kissing game?
Were his lips soft or hard?
Did it take your breath away?
Did his kiss make you love him more or make you
say to yourself, "That is not as good as I thought it
would be"?
Was your heart pounding?
Did you wish it would never end.
Did you think you would just DIE till you saw him
again?
