Guaranteed with a Romance Novel #IWSG #writing #romancegenre

The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day.

The Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!

IWSG Asks: What do you love about the genre you write in most often?  

Since the moment I read my first romance novel, I knew I would write romance. Despite all odds, despair, conflict, tragedy, even death, a romance novel guarantees a happily-ever-after for characters. They deal with many of life's issues, but no matter what happens the conflict is resolved with an emotionally satisfying ending. It could be happily-ever-after or even a happy-for-now that often occurs in short romance stories.

It's a guarantee that's not available to us in real life.

My teenage years were not easy. My mother died when I was 11 and my father was struck with grief and couldn't handle taking care of his two young children. My little brother and I were on our own at very young age and life was difficult. I worked four jobs to provide money and spent a lot of time wondering what life was like for other kids my age.

I used writing as therapy to ease my inner pain and grief. After reading several romances, I'd found the escape and optimism that I desperately needed. Life was difficult, but I could write about characters who dealt with the same issues that I did and who ended up with happily-ever-afters.

Creating characters that achieved HEA's helped me deal with my own issues. It brought peace and satisfaction. Comfort and the knowledge that good was in the world. It made me stronger as a person, more hopeful and optimistic, more compassionate and understanding.

Love has the power to heal.

And, the versatility of the romance genre gives me a wonderful playing field where I can challenge myself as a writer. I can write a romance in nearly any genre whether it is romantic suspense (mystery), a paranormal romance (science fiction/fantasy) or a gothic romance (horror). My creativity and imagination is not limited when it comes to a romance.

Becoming a romance writer also brought me into contact with an amazing community of people who are willing to go above and beyond to aid each other. Both romance readers and writers uplift each other, assist each other with their works-in-progress and band together to help each other achieve success with publication. They offer advice, opportunities, cooperation and guidance.

What other occupation is your competition willing to help you succeed with your career?

Week 5: "A book that has influenced my life"

As soon as I learned my alphabet I've been a reader. The first books I remember reading were Dr. Seuss. Throughout my life I've read so many books both fiction and nonfiction that have influenced my life in one way or another. My mother was an avid romance reader, so when I was a teenager I decided to give reading romance a try. I bought my first romance novel at Hills Department store. It was a Harlequin Historical romance novel named The Romance of the Rose by Claire Delacroix. With one book, I fell instantly in love with the romance genre. Because of this book, I went on to read as many romance novels as I could and eventually when I decided to give writing a try, it was a romance story.

Armand d'Avigny would always associate Alexandria de Fontaine with the smell of roses. Indeed, the knight had carried the memory of the beautiful healer with him to the Crusades. Now, as he looked upon the same sweet face once more, he vowed that never again would she be taken from his side. Alex's heart soared when she recognized the green-eyed gaze of her would-be rescuer. Yet even as they sped to safety, she knew that she could not accept the promise of Armand's love. For to do so would expose him to the danger of her enemy. And as long as Pierre de Villiers remained alive, Alexandria de Fontaine would never be free.
