More Than A Guilty Pleasure, Day 15 #writingprompt #amwritingromance

WRITING PROMPT:

“Tell me more.”

RULES (for everyone)

  • Write–no going back, deleting or revising. WRITE FORWARD.
  • No re-reading your work or showing it to anyone after you’ve written it. This is for your eyes only.
  • Write to a natural ending. Stop. No, you can’t write more. The repeat comes the next day.

RULES (for More Than A Guilty Pleasure Class)

  • This is process, not product. You are getting to know your characters… but you’re still writing for your eyes only.
  • Each day, you’re writing a SCENE. Scenes have a beginning, middle, and end, and a PURPOSE.
  • Write badly. Floridly. Fearlessly. Break all the rules. 😉 Including all and any I’ve given you in class.

WHAT’S ALL THIS ABOUT?

I’m teaching this course:

More Than A Guilty Pleasure: Mastering the Romance Novel Form to Tell the Perfect Story

Learn to seduce a reader from the first sentence through to the heart-thumping, breath-taking, you-knew-it-was-coming-but-not-this-way! happy ending.  Motivated students will be given the structure and support to complete a first draft of a romance novel by week 8; beginning students will learn how to play with tropes, tension, pacing, climaxes (dramatic and other), dialogue, and character development.
