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.
