But let’s try writing romance anyway. What do we need? Protagonists, a misunderstanding, and a resolution. Okay. romance generator for some help. |

A “romance generator” you say. Wish I knew they existed when I was 19. |

Oh, now that gives rise to wicked speculation! How about an extract from The Sexiest Words in the World (compiled by RWA members): L Limber |

I like “antidisestablishmentarianism.” Now that’s sexy. |

not as sexy as “the servants will see to your luggage” but if you put it in context I could be convinced. |

Is there a deadline, or is this just a writing prompt to get some of us slackers back to our keyboards? LOL |

I know, I know….it doesn’t include the keywords Alfalfa and Jam, but I began writing this before you changed he challenge. But it is a romance…..of sorts. Up to you what you think of it….and if you insist, I think I can work in Alfalfa, not sure about the jam part though….LOL |

Ahh, but there’s more of that story to unravel and I’m sure jam will be in there somewhere … maybe in the future “jammy” is the equivalent of “cool” or “shiny”? Or it becomes a name a la Cat’s Paw |

New forum in Dark Arts: Love Lies & Bleeding I see definite crossover potential for some of you! Especially as her Dark Majesty Kathleen is proposing a DA magazine type publication … |

My fictional world and the real world are overlapping – it’s friday in both and friday means “discount book vouchers” those of us in Australia … Oh. Thought: if you have a Borders you can visit fairly easily, check their website for something called the Shortlist. Every week you’ll be emailed 2 vouchers that vary in genre and percentage. I also have this tantalizing word in my inbox: bonkbuster And in OMG moments … has it really been 14 years between Vicky Bliss releases? I adore my art history and thieves, especially set in Egypt, but 14 years… my fingers are itching. I want that book. In paperback. |
