I heard this song on the radio today: Tim McGraw’s Live Like You Were Dying. It got me to thinking of what makes a good romance novel. Ok, Ok, I guess there are those of you who read this who can’t put “good” and “romance novel” in the same sentence, but I can. In a good romance novel, the hero and the heroine eventually seem to decide to live like they are dying….they love sweeter, they become the spouses they should have been from the start, and they spend time with each other in ways that people don’t in every day life. It’s part of the charms of these books, part of what makes them so escapist too.
It puts a new spin on what I’m trying to write. It’s something for me to think on.
