I've been handed this beautiful,complex, vulnerable Ivory/Wharton-esque plot set in 1910s London,Paris and the French Riviera!! I thank the Lord above for it! It's so great and I'm not even going to worry about the setting or the characters and let the chips fall where they may. I am writing smart and writing from my heart--I'm keeping what makes romance readers love reading romances, but putting my own personal touches on it to make it stand out from the crowd. I absolutely adore this plot and am head over heels into research and am steadily plotting with each new tidbit I gain. I'm putting the applications listed in Donald Maas' "Writing The Breakout Novel" to the test: making the romance genre my own instead of the other way around; giving the readers want they want even if they aren't sure of it as of yet, et al. But mainly, just make them laugh, make them cry and make them feel--and have a semblance of fun whilst writing it.
