Hi I'm Jodi from Writer'sLife.org and
today we'll be talking about how to
write the best romance novel ever
there's big money in writing a great
romance novel while other genres rise
and fall in popularity take fantasy for
example romance tends to be consistently
in demand so if you can write compelling
romance novel then you could potentially
see it turn into a timeless classic some
people think that writing romance should
be easy all you need is a strong
handsome hero and a beautiful heroine
who develop a relationship against all
odds right well this isn't entirely
untrue romance novels as with any genre
of writing tend to follow a formula
which makes them work the typical
romance needs a man and a woman who fall
in love yet there must be conflict and
struggle to make it interesting
the lovers must be kept apart they must
overcome obstacles and the readers must
be kept wondering and worrying whether
they will ever be able to truly be
together so how do you create this
conflict that keeps your main characters
apart your characters need goals and
reasons for these goals their goal is to
drive the plot forward and be the main
focus in terms of storyline however they
can also be used to create the conflict
between the characters and build up
dramatic tension perhaps their goals and
aspirations act as blocks which mean
your characters don't get together until
the very ends your characters goals need
to be hugely important to them and the
consequences of them not achieving their
goals should be severe there should
always be conflict in a romance novel
and this conflict should make the
readers wonder whether the characters
will actually end up the other or
tragically not how will your characters
relationship develop whether their love
is forbidden in some way think Romeo and
Juliet's they actively dislike each
other in the beginning they are best
friends who never thought of each other
that way or perhaps their histories are
entwined somehow but they are actually
yet to meet thinking carefully about
higher characters lives are intertwined
and how the relationship develops needs
to be interesting from the start your
character must be likeable for not
boring remember that romance novels are
generally character driven therefore it
is paramount that readers can engage
with the protagonists identify with them
in some way and
they want them it's to be together
remember to make your characters flawed
and imperfect your readers need to like
them otherwise they won't care whether
they end up together or not and the
success of your romance depends on your
readers emotionally investing in the
relationship and caring what happens to
your characters try to avoid stereotypes
some heroes and heroines have been done
to death and if you want to make your
romance novel stand out then think of
ways to make them more original both in
appearance and personality your ending
makes all the difference most people
tend to think of romance novels as books
that end happily of course this isn't
always the case there are plenty of
novels that could be classed as romance
novels but are also tragedies deciding
on whether your novel will end happily
well most likely depend on whether your
characters get together and live happily
ever after
or not of course your characters could
end up together but the sacrifices they
had to make to be together along the way
may mean the ending is bittersweet your
characters might not end up together at
all or perhaps they do and the story
answers the kiss a proposal and a
wedding writing a romance novel can be
lots of fun and following a few simple
rules you have the basic ingredients
needed to get started and then you can
really let your imagination run wild
