Writing Goddess of Romance Fiction

About Me

I believe that writing is a Craft.In the hands of a writer who has mastered the Craft, it can become more than that. It can become Art.But the bedrock is Craft. There are fundamental techniques to be studied, unfamiliar tools to be mastered, tricks of the trade to be learned. And it all takes time. Are you a Romance Fiction writer that's yet to be published? Maybe you're published but still need information about writing. Not sure how to format that manuscript or query letter? How about that synopsis? This group will showcase some of the best information for Romance writers from all over the net.You have your inspiration, the seed of a story germinating in your mind. You are creating a new world from your imagination. You plan. You write. You realize that you know nothing about an important aspect of your character's life. You could write around that gap in your knowlede and hope you don't make any glaring errors, or you can do some research and fill that gap.At Romance Writing Tips you will find an extensive list of references and research sites to help you flesh out your world and your characters and make them more real.

My Interests

Writing, writers, authors, novelist, health, metaphysics, spirituality, movies, traveling, exotic locations, romance, people, life, internet, love, happiness. I love to watch the tides roll onto the beach at night. The burgundy, purple color of a sunset and sunrise over the ocean's horizon. The gentle kiss of a cool breeze on my cheek on a hot summer day.
