First Tip: Be Romantic
Wondering what this tip means? It’s just simple. You need to have to feel romantic and free to express these feelings into glorious words of love. Once you have set the right mood, go ahead and identify what sort of ending you want for your story.
Should it be sad or happy? Depending on the ending, you can select the background of the story, the situations of how the couple met, the sequence of communications that led to a strong and enviable relationship and of course some dramatic twist in between.
Second Tip: Outline the Love Story
Arrange the sequence of the love story. It would include an introduction of the handsome hero and the beautiful heroine or the poor hero and the rich heroine or any other combination that suits your taste. Next, consider how many characters you would like to have, the situation through which the main characters get close to each other and finally the outcome of their relationship.
Third Tip: Effects
Mostly romance fiction ends happily. So before you reach that phase, the book should be able to gradually explain each situation that lead to a strong relationship of the focussed couple. It means that you do not need to create a huge tension or suspense in a romance novel. It needs dramatics and emotions that should be able to create an interest and inner urge to know what happens next. The dialogues, the emotions, the order of actions should be arranged very carefully.
Fourth Tip: Make Sense
As usual any story should make sense. Make sure that the main male and female in the romance novel have positive characters and try to write their present situation in life, their routine lifestyle and their goals in life and finally the most important is the step by step description of how they fall in love. Whatever romance fiction has been created, it should make sense and people should be able to relate to it. If the communication of interests and feelings happens between the reader and the author of the book, then your book is a complete success.
Fifth Tip: Check It Properly
Check, check and check again. That should be a mantra while writing any type of novel. Once you finish the novel, do sit and take a break. Then sit with your beautiful masterpiece and proofread it. Correct all the mistakes and read it again. If the book is able to emit the love, passion, sincerity and has a natural human touch to it, then you can be ready to give it out to all those romance lovers.
So, there you have it. 5 tips for writing romance. Happy writing!
