Your romance author super strength is—

When you’re writing, you have no problem stopping to find the perfect color for your heroine’s dress in her meet cute, to best reflect the emotions of the scene.
As an author, you will finish what you start—though it might take you a little longer than you hoped to get to the happily ever after because you love wowing your readers with the nuggets of fun you uncover during your research.

Your author mantra
“I’m not jumping into anything without knowing all the facts.
My hero may look good on the surface, but I’m going to need to live
in his head before I let him put a ring on my book’s finger.”
Your Bewitching Author style breakdown
(And by breakdown I don’t mean the collapse on the daybed, fanning yourself kind … just to be clear)
Your heroine’s go to quote
“Why do you insist on surprising me? You know I like to have a plan.”
Your perfect reader review
“I am in awe of this author’s ability to really get inside the heads of the hero and heroine. This romance was rich and delicious.”
Your perfect day as a romance author
You wake up and read what you wrote yesterday to make sure you’re happy with the progress. You might take the first 30 minutes to research a small detail in your story to get you in the writing mood and help you drop into your story.
Famous characters who really get you
* Queen Charlotte & Penelope Featherington from Bridgerton
* Miranda from Sex in the City
* Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice
* Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones
* Fred & George Weasley from Harry Potter
Your hero and heroine are waiting—possibly patiently, but perhaps with aching bits—for you to tell their love story.
Your readers are waiting, too, for this happily ever after that only you can write.
A love letter to your romance author personality
Dear bewitching romance author,
I know we just met, but here’s the thing:
I see you and your singularly focused ways.
It’s time to embrace your author personality to fall in love with the process of writing your romance.
No matter where you are in your manuscript relationship—
- at the awkward meet cute stage, still getting to know each other,
- or the delicious falling in love stage where everything flows like a chocolate fountain,
- or the heartbreaking part of the writing process when your confidence or motivation has walked away with nary a kiss on the forehead,
- or the inevitable coming back together—since this is a love story!—and the grand gesture when your manuscript shares its most precious secrets with you and cradles you until you reach ‘The end’
—you need to know that every romance author you read and love took time to figure out how to work with their stories, what their own writing happy place is, and wrote scrappy rough drafts before anyone ever saw a word of the stories that make you laugh and cry and feel…
And, that just like the two (or three of four) characters you’re creating a happily ever after story for, your own author happily ever after will probably not be found on your own. Even the grumpiest hero who believes he’ll never pair with another is eventually brightened by a sunshine-y counterpart.
Not to suggest that you are cloudy! No, no, no!
What I mean is, if you’ve been trying and struggling to write your romance on your own, your people are here for you. If you’ve had any of these thoughts, the attractive hero with the perfect teeth and just-messy-enough hair over in the corner has something they’d like to whisper in your ear. Lean in, just a little…
You don’t have to do this alone. I’ve got you. Let me help you…
