Happy Tuesday! I can’t believe there is just one week left until Thanksgiving and then only a month until Christmas. I’m not ready at all! Our topic today talks about mindset when writing romance. Let’s jump in.
Do you think writing romance novels requires a different mindset or approach compared to other genres?
I definitely think you have to be in the right type of mood to write romance. If I’m feeling lonely or unhappy at all, I can’t write romance. If I do, it’s the dark moment of the story.
You really have to dig deep with character feelings, where with other genres I don’t feel like you have to go as deep. You can keep the emotions on the surface. With romance you have to know the why of the feelings even if the characters don’t know it yet.
That’s it for me today, now continue on the hop to see what the talented Brenda Margriet has to say. Until next time!

He’s a concert cellist. She’s a construction worker. When sparks fly between them, all bets are off.
Seeking solace in his music, Marcus Temple fled his stifling small town to become a world-class cellist. Any lingering longings and regrets are safely buried beneath his successful career—until a family crisis compels him to return and brings him face-to-face with the woman whose heart he broke when he left.
More comfortable in overalls than orchestra seats, Mattie Bendixon has done her best to forget the boy who shattered her teenage dreams. She keeps busy and fulfilled as a carpenter with her grandfather’s construction company. But now a big city rival threatens his legacy.
Determined to save her family’s business, Mattie makes a reckless wager with Marcus. All he has to do is stay in his hated hometown for one month. All she has to risk is her heart.
