I'd have to say Ryder & Maddie from Promise me Darkness and Promise me Light. They grew up together and although they remained friends the entire time, they actually were both in love with each other. They know so much about each other and even their family and friends can sense the attraction between them. He would literally do anything for her and is very protective/possessive of her. One of my favorite series!

I've had it before where I would daydream, wondering what the next scene should be after a major incident/problem has just occurred. For a few days, I stopped, wondering 'where does it go from here?' when my fiance actually made a suggestion and bam! I was off! Haha!
the reason for the name of the novel being 'writer's block' is more so the obstacles the main character has that keeps preventing her from moving on with her life. she's a writer too, so I thought it had a nice twist.

That you know the outcome. For example, if you're reading a book and the male lead cheats on the female lead, in some books the female lead will soon run right back into his arms. You would be freaking out, saying 'Are you kidding me?'. You'd want him to sulk some and work for it, however, some authors skip that process. At least with you being the author, you can make it the way you'd want it to be. Another thing I like is that I can put some of my personal experiences into the book or characters if I want. That way you're part of each novel you write.

I'd recommend to read a lot of other romance novels before you start yours. I read A LOT and it gave me insight and knowledge about better ways to describe situations, the importance in details, and what readers like most. Also, edit your book a lot. It was 385 pages in a word document and I read it over and over to make sure it flowed right and that there were no errors.

Soon I'll be starting my second book. It will be another romance novel. I'm still brainstorming the characters and then I'll think about the plot. I'm not huge on paranormal romances or anything. I really like contemporary and erotic ones. I'm always open to ideas if any readers have any preferences. I can always take an idea and run with it.

When I started my new job, things could get slow at times, so I'd read books (plus I don't have any children, so I have more free time). After reading about thirty or forty of them and realizing that at times the main character in the books were driving me insane because of them giving in to the male lead roles when they have been a jerk, I decided to write my own and make my female lead a little more head strong. so I decided I wanted to write my own novel and create obstacles and responses that didn't include the female lead to give in so quickly.

I have always loved romance novels. I've been reading a lot over the last few months and I just decided to write my own.
A lot of the content is from personal experience (intimate scenes and character's personalities) but the rest of the struggles and issues in the book is fiction. hope you all enjoy!
