By Aimee Schwartz


Romantic novels are the highest selling novels in North America which makes up to 40 percent fiction which means if your book is good, it will sell. Romance readers look for new books to read every day so it means the market is ever growing. The highest paid romance writer in the world is Danielle steel with close to $35 million back in 2011 followed by Nicholas Sparks. If you want to write western romance novels, you have to research on history of the west.

There are a lot of flaws people make while writing a romantic novel from the western. You ought to do a lot of research and make sure you use it accurately. There are chances that you might overuse it or omit some important aspects and your novel might turn out to be really bad. If its a historical love novel, make sure you use the correct mode of transportation.

One thing you should never do while writing a novel is use perfect people to base your two main characters. It makes your characters predictable at the same time the story becomes boring. When the hero and the heroine first meet, they will be antagonists but as the story continues, they should be drawn towards each other. Build the interest of the reader as to how they will both end up together.

How can you make your story interesting? Bring the two main characters together quickly so that the reader will not wait for too long. Create a natural sounding dialogue between them every time they are together. Also, create inner conflicts so that there is something to look forward to.

For an aspiring writer, there are guidelines that one should follow while breaking into the love genre. Writing romantic pieces has its own rules to make the story interesting. First, you have to sketch around the rapport of the main characters, man and woman. Picture the hero to be a witty, humorous and a strong character while the heroine is a likable person too.

One of the important things you have to do in writing a novel is to be conversant with what is going on in the market so it means you have to look for the recently published items on the subgenre and genre you have decided to focus on. They include; western romance, romantic comedy, historical or contemporary romance among others.

Is joining a writers club a wise idea? Its a really good idea because whenever you feel you are confused by a detail or two, you can simply talk about it with your group members and it actually becomes easier. The good thing is that you do not have to look for a group locally but in this age, you can also find an inline group. Also, read more books that explain how to write novels.

Romantic novels are fantasies that the readers want to experience. For example, while reading a romantic novel, you get to escape from the real world and fall for that man who in real life does not exist or maybe you will never date him because he is maybe too intelligent, rich or handsome or very powerful. The readers want a hero they can look up to; a role model.
