You can stop asking me so many times! *Flops into chair and stares at a silent, unamused you* Don't look at me like that, I know you wanted this for a long time and so now I'm giving it to you! A book of my own creation! A work of knowledge and insight into the writer's life! *Frowns* What do you mean, what do I mean? It means this is a book about all things I've learned as a writer and I'm imparting them to you. *Jumps up. Grabs cloak and hat and rushes to the door* Hurry! We haven't a moment to lose! Advice and a helping hand awaits! *Gestures you onward* Let's begin!

This is where we talk about writing romance. Everyone is welcome! Tips Corner is an interactive learning format rather than teaching. We all love to read or write romance and whether we realise it or not, are experts and have ideas to offer. There are many 'how to' guides on writing romance so rather than provide another one here, we will learn from each other. There are no right and wrong answers and what works for one person mightn't for another. Hopefully our discussions will inspire us write the stories that attract gazillions of readers.

There are hundreds of fantastic books about writing for hopeful authors to choose from, but most of them are boring, complicated, and bogged down by filler. This little book is brief, straight forward, and easy to understand. I hope it will serve as an easy-to-read manual to help serious writers perfect their craft. I should say right off the bat that I am NOT an expert; I forget my own tips all the time! However, I do know what generally works for me, so I thought I could pass it on to my friends at Wattpad. One last note: this book is for writers who have a basic understanding of grammar and story structure. If you’re interested in more fundamental steps you can take to write a great story, check out the companion to this book!
