Publisher's Synopsis
Calling All You Intuitive Writers out there! Does the idea of having to plan your romance novel in advance horrify you, even though you are afraid of getting lost or never finishing a new story? Well here is the secret. When you are planning to write a new story, all you need to focus on are the characters, and how they are going to change during the course of the romance as a result of the relationship. That is what will make your story both unique and compelling. Advanced story craft techniques are very handy at the editing and revision stage when you shape your story for the reader - but not here! Instead, we use the power of character arc and emotional conflict to create a simple but effective emotional story map for your romance novel. As you write your romance, your characters will come to life on the page, and reveal their true personalities through what they say and do. But first you have to get those characters onto the page and interacting with one another - fast! This is the six-step writing process professional romance authors use to develop their novels - and stay motivated and excited by their story. Now you can do the same. And keep your pants on! Find out how to outline your romance novel when you don't know a thing about story structure and the whole ideas of pre-planning your story freezes you. And enjoy doing it!
