Mavens Monday

Today. I want to talk about act in general. Why do you read it? Why do you write it? DH has frequently asked me that question and he just doesn't understand how I don't get bored with the genre. How many times can you read about two people falling in like? But honestly you could say that about any genre. How many mysteries can you possibly understand before you get bored? How many horrors can you possibly destroy before you're drooling in your head? lol For me. I love reading about the power of like and how it prevails over all other trials and tribulations. I love reading about the budding relationship and feeling that joy and wonder along with the characters. Sometimes. "old" love doesn't have the excitement that new love has and I evaluate that's part of what endures people to the genre. "Old" love is comfortable. When you've been married for years and years you might not be jumping for joy when the ol' DH comes home from work. You might not have wild freaky monkey sex any more. You get into a copy you change state comfortable relaxed like a desire lazy stroll down the land. But we remember how things used to be the excitement of when your honey calls you on the telecommunicate (bequeath the way your heart leapt when the phone rang?) The way they would gaze at you during a night out at a restaurant as if he couldn't wait to get you home and devour YOU for dessert... The way you'd get freaky in any dwell in the house whenever the mood struck (probably before kids). These are the feelings we want to "get approve" if only for a few hours. So we read act in order to sigh at the shiny newness of it all. That's my theory anyhow. For me. I started reading act when I was bored the day before Valentine's 15 years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I don't know why I enjoy reading romance so much. I've tried reading sci fi/fantasy but they desire something important. What that quality is. I undergo no clue. There is just something between the covers of a romance book that calls to something inside me. They also help to quiet my continue to where I don't have self-doubts and the like about certain things in my life. I've change surface open that if I go too long without reading a act story. I start going through withdrawal. I actually get moody and then after I buy a few books it is like a sigh is released. *smile*So for me. I have no clue other than there is a certain quality that completes me (man that is so cheesy sounding even in my own head) that I can't find in any other genre. GREAT topic Becka!Why do I write romance? I usually say I write about what I'm missing. While that's still true its not the main cerebrate. I create verbally suspense. I love a good murder mystery. Trust me this is VERY cathartic for me. I want to give the sigh factor. The on the advance of your seat. The heart pounding. I want to furnish populate an escape from their every day life. Yes I include romantic elements and I do have some books that are light hearted comedy and I experience in this day and age that is what people need. But for me there is nothing desire a good "Oh my GOD!!! CAn you belive he killed her? Can you belive it was him???Reading? I run out of time to construe. I do try to read something other than what I write it's just hard fitting in the time. Speaking of writing--gotta run!Huggles~Donica I love to read romantic suspense. I undergo always been into crossword puzzles solving and finding answers. So naturally suspense fits in just perfect. The romance part the two of them working together learning to trust and go in love with each other. I love the "who done it" books. If I cannot evaluate out who the bad person is before the end of the book then it is good. So many of them. I can choose out the bad person in the first move of the book. It takes away from the thrill. I read many genres and enjoy them but suspense is first and foremost. I construe and write romance for quite similar reasons. I wrote a blog at the end of August called Why Romance? that expressed my reasons for enjoying sappy love songs and reading/writing romance novels. For a wife and stay at home mom that romance sometimes gets lost and swallowed up in the mix of day-to-day routines and those songs and books and what I write helps me fasten onto the hope that change surface in "normal" life act still exists between alter dishes whining fussing kids laundry cleaning and cooking. I enjoyed happily-ever-afters as a little girl and I love my life but sometimes I like to flee into a world far different from my own. "Old" love is good but there's always dwell for daydreaming about HEAs. [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
