A to Z How to Write a Romance Book for Total Beginners

Writing is hard, but anyone can do it. It doesn't seem like it should be right? It's something that many of us have to do every day, whether it's writing an e-mail to our boss, typing up a memo, or posting on social media. A lot of our day-to-day activities involve writing. So why is it that many of us don't achieve the notoriety we're aspiring to? I don't preface this book with this statement to discourage you, but to get you in the right headspace to tackle this writing gig. For many beginning writers—and this goes for all genres, not just romance—writing a novel is something akin to climbing a mountain with no training. You may have the gear but you have no idea where to start, how long this thing is going to take, and whether or not you'll fall in the process. That realization is terrifying for many new writers. The seeming insurmountability of it all can lead to many writers to throw their hands up in defeat. "It's too big!" they cry, and abandon their newly bought notebooks and take that coffee to go. I tell you that penning this first novel will be hard to encourage you. Just undertaking this venture is courageous in itself, and I applaud you for doing it. If you go in with the right attitude and muddle through the best you can, you'll achieve what most beginning writers never do. You'll conquer the mountain. You will write a book. Detailed within this book are steps to guide you to writing good fiction and some specifics on writing romance in particular. Good luck readers, and happy travels ahead!
