Writing Romance?

I first started reading romance novels when I was 19.  I think that I already mentioned that in a previous post.  I literally read hundreds of them because I love them.  It is a great way to escape into fantasy and believe it or not helped relieve stress.  I read romance novels for years.  Some time in my early thirties I found myself not going to read them so much .  I started reading a lot more new age spiritual books that really helped to empower me to create my best life.  

Several years later African American romance novels were being published by Harlequin Arabesque.   I was delighted because now I could read romance novels where the heroine looked like me.  Amen!  Hallelujah!  

For years I always fancied myself writing a romance novel.  I still want to write a romance novel but I don't want it to be cheesy.  I would like to write at least one romance story that is timeless just as Jane Austen's novels are timeless.  I wish that I could take 6 months off just to write it.  I know that I could do it if I had a few months to devote to it.  I have the title of my romance story already.  I chose it about 10 years ago and I know who the hero and heroine is.  I see them in my mind's eye all the time.  What I am not too sure about is what their story is going to be.  

I decided to go for it and dig into writing.  I put it all out into the Universe.  And so It IS.
