Comments on: Writing the Romance Novel: Why I Read and Write Romance http://kayedacus.com/2008/05/21/writing-the-romance-novel-why-i-read-and-write-romance/ Sat, 26 May 2012 21:44:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: nicole http://kayedacus.com/2008/05/21/writing-the-romance-novel-why-i-read-and-write-romance/#comment-12233 Fri, 15 May 2009 18:42:52 +0000 http://kayedacus.wordpress.com/?p=692#comment-12233 My grandma has been happily married to the love of her life for over 47 years. They are an adorable couple and very much in love. That said, she plows through 3-4 regency romance novels per week, reveling in the consistent good news of a happy ending, and enjoying the wit and humor, the play on words, that Georgette Heyer and others offer.

Romance Novels Rock! and I am in the process of writing my first, so wish me luck! :)

Sorry it’s taken your own failings in real life to inspire your creativity. But then again, is there any other way?

Really. Daniel is my hero, my best friend, my knight in shining (dented, but shining) armor. He’s always on my side even when he knows I’m wrong. Okay, so now I’m wondering why I don’t write romance and why I don’t often read it…
But I do respect the genre and believe it serves a wonderful purpose.

I’ve married my hero and I love him passionately. I love the hope that romance inspires, the way the lives of the characters have to change, to adapt, to forgive, to see another’s point of view, and to be vulernable to another. Great stuff!

For me, romance is the best escape on that front. While I love suspense and thrillers, it’s not quite the same as walking in the shoes of a romance heroine.
