This book is an excellent little resource for the aspiring romance writer as well as the writer of any genre. The author has many romantic novels to her credit and has written this little tome sharing some of her secrets. She also gives tips on research, putting together your plot and setting, beginning and ending your story, dialogue, and a whole lot more. Probably my favorite chapter of all is her chapter about the excuses writers make for not writing -- she puts together a dozen excuses and then writes several paragraphs about how to knock it off and get over your excuses so you just start writing! Great chapter, I saw myself in a few of those excuses.

Though this book is aimed at helping a writer who wants to write romance, I believe it would be useful to any aspiring writer -- she explores not only getting started and keeping at it, but setting up a writing schedule, writing and keeping your plot moving, creating a setting to capture the reader's attention, and a lot more. She winds up her book near the end with dealing with your publisher & publicity for your book. I consider this book an excellent resource no matter what your writing genre is. Now get writing!
