Yeah, yeah, I know. You're looking at this page title and thinking, "God, why does this exist? It's self-explanatory, nobody needs this!" And, maybe it is and maybe no one does. But decent romance is harder to write than you might think. The biggest problem is that you don't have any room for error: Love is a universal part of human life, and (especially in Western culture) is generally considered the epitome of positive experience; the standards are high, and audiences will really nail you if you mess it up. (Ask [[George Lucas]] about it.) Plus, if you can do it well, you might be able to make a killing off of it; according to [[The Other Wiki]], romance novels account for ''more than 50% of all paperbacks sold.'' |
