When it comes to writing, being organized has a specific need. I am not one to always be organized. For I am a creative being and sometimes creativity needs chaos. But when writing, yes, chaos is fun to read, but it is also dangerous. So we need some organized way of writing. Take this as an example; if I wrote a story that jumped around and the reader could not seem to keep up with whom is where and doing what, this is disorganized writing. Even in the most chaotic books, there is still some organization to the events and people. This is what keeps a reader reading.  Keeping on…

When writing romance, I must think of all the parts that involve romance. From the connection to kissing to being intimate, I need to think and plan each part so it works well together and creates an exciting scene, not one that is weird or awkward. As much as I need to know my characters because each character will react differently in different situations, I also need to organize each step in writing a romance novel. I like to think about how many steps I want and what parts I will use in each step. Such as, if I use a step of kissing, I may only use the kissing…

In today’s world, where everything is disposable, from our food to our stuff and now to even relationships, I find that more and more people tend to think that relationships are disposable when in reality, they should not be. Yes, we need to surround ourselves with like-minded people, but we still need good solid relationships in our lives because that gives us extra meaning. All relationships are important, but my favorite to talk about, well, I am sure you can guess it, is romantic relationships. Yes, it is much easier to think that there is plenty of fish in the sea, but having that one person there for you, who…

What about love makes love worth having? Giving our hearts away can lead to them being broken. So why do it? This is something that I think everyone asks themselves at some point in their life. Love can be hard. It is never an easy thing. If love is easy for you, then it is not true love. I say this because we all have our own opinions, and we will have arguments. But when we love someone, these arguments become a mode for conversations, and we decide to change or grow as people because we love our partner enough to want to evolve. But this does not mean you…

I have been asked once what is the point of love if you always have heartbreak afterward. Well, I think love is an important part of life and gives us meaning and enjoyment.  Heartbreak is only one side effect of love. It does not always happen, but to most people, if not all people, we all have suffered through a heartbreak. But what makes the difference is how we deal with the heartbreak. How we deal affects our process and our life. I can get into different ways to deal with heartbreak in another blog. What I want to tackle today is why love? Well, love is vital to our…

“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.” – Sarah Dessen One thing that I use a lot in my writing is that love can come out of nowhere and hit the character like a ton of bricks. This makes writing romance so fun because you can see how fast love can come to two characters as a writer or reader. It happens out of the blue and often is not looked for. In a world where we force love by meeting online and then in-person to see if there is chemistry, what we do not…

Now the weather is getting warmer, and people are prone to go outside. Summer is coming our way. Vacations will be taken, and in all this activity, we must remember that love can still be in the air. I do not think that any season lacks love or romance. We need to look and find it no matter where we are or what season we are in. but summer means outdoor activities, and what is not more romantic than a nice cozy picnic outside with someone we love or a boat ride for two? I believe that summer is an excellent time for romance because of everything we can do…

Someone once told me romance novels are too basic. They all end the same way, making them predictable and somewhat dull. I say this is where the person is reading wrong. I know that I do not read romance novels or even write romance novels with the idea of it being basic because I know the two people in love will end up together at the end of the book. We all know that will happen. No, why we read is for the journey. The journey is the most critical part of a romance novel and is what makes the book. It is the journey that makes romance novels fun…

Now, this is what I am all about, what I write about. Romantic love. Now I find that this comes in two ways. You have lasting romantic love and fleeing romantic love. That does not say that there is no romantic love connection, even if that connection is temporary. This is fleeing romantic love. It is where you have a romantic connection with someone for a certain amount of time. Perhaps you part ways, but the love you have for that person stays with you. And lasting romantic love, well, is the kind of romance that lasts a lifetime. That is what I like to write about. Romantic love does…

So why is this in a category all by itself? Well, because how I see soulmates is different than romantic love. Soulmates is a once-in-a-lifetime deal. And not many meet their soulmates, and many do not even realize it if they do. However, romantic love can be temporary. Soulmate love is forever once you find it. I think that is why so many do not find it because our lives are such a fast pace, and people can jump from one romantic love relationship to the next, soulmates tend not to happen, or I have not seen it. But it can happen. There is that one person out there that…
