I read too many romance novels during my formative years. I have a penchant for romantic comedies. I understand why 'Romeo and Juliet' came to such a pass.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't know anything about romance novels until a friend suggested that I try writing one. After I read a few, I realized that my favorite part of fiction had always been the relationship aspect.
I love romantic comedies. I have a deep respect for them. I think they're really difficult to write and write well.
I always think the most romantic books or films are the ones where the romance doesn't happen, because it makes your heart ache so much watching it.
I can't seem to help writing love stories. I definitely crave romance. When I was young, I craved romance in books, but I didn't want to read just romance - love plays such a big part in our lives, it shouldn't be cut out and restricted to its own fiction.
Anyone who reads advice books about romance has one problem to begin with: bad taste in literature.
I write romance because I love to read romance.
I still read romance, and I read suspense. I read them both. And part of it is, I like stories with strong characters, and I like stories where there's closure at the end. And I like stories where there's hope. That's a kind of empowerment. I think romance novels are very empowering, and I think suspense novels are, too.
I'm biased toward romantic comedies; they're probably my favorite genre.
I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies, believe it or not.
The reason I write romance is that I like happy endings. The idea, you know, 'It's not literature unless is ends badly,' and I really don't like that. There's enough misery and bad things happening in the world.
