For a while, I have been intrigued by the idea of writing a romance novel. I've written a few romance short stories, but I am very impressed by those who plot and plan their way to a good romance. Done well, it certainly rivals a mystery for planning, with a much greater demand for emotional intensity and understanding of human dynamic.
That said, I can't just write a contemporary romance. I need to pull in some of my other writing energies, so I am writing a gritty urban fantasy romance... with mermaids.
The working title is Deep Embrace. I am hoping to do this more transparently than some of my other writing, meaning occasional updates here on both progress and challenges.
I admire your courage. I'm not even letting my husband read the rough draft of my WIP until I finish it. I look forward to your updates and progress reports!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Charlotte. I haven't decided exactly what I will share and what I won't, maybe everything.
ReplyDeleteBe careful never to label something as bravery which may be simple stupidity.
Good luck! Starting a new book is so daunting, but also so exciting!
