I am definitely not a romance writer, but I do love me a happy ending.Marcelle Dubéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164965676254630066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-78388905386647182952016-07-08T09:19:02.483-07:002016-07-08T09:19:02.483-07:00Love this list, Josh. :) Count me in as someone wh...Love this list, Josh. :) Count me in as someone who loves happy endings! And the sexual tension in romance novels. Love that, too. And murder and mayhem. Guess I'm in the right place!

Yes, that was partly tongue-in-cheek. <br /><br />AND partly not because there are an awful lot of wannabe writers out there angry and frustrated because their work doesn't receive the attention and support they believe it deserves. Mostly it's because, regardless of what they write, it's not ready for prime time -- and partly because they continually target the wrong audience.

I think anything we can do to bring about more real life happy endings is a step in the right direction.

The posts often amuse me (sorry Josh, in case you didn't intend to be amusing). <br />As a reader though, I'm just along for the ride and just give *the look* to people who look down on romance book. We live in a crazy world, it's more than okay to look for romance and happy-ends in books. Or, in case of your books: happy for now. ;-)Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303613830517887435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-21623764535068334812016-07-07T12:06:53.623-07:002016-07-07T12:06:53.623-07:00Maureen slumps her shoulders and admits with a sig...Maureen slumps her shoulders and admits with a sigh, "I am addicted to happy endings." Of course, happy endings don't always have to be synonymous with romance. I burst into tears when I see a boy reunited with his dog. Or when Sandra Bullock falls from the space station and lands on a beach. :)<br /><br />Great points, Josh! Maureen A. Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16432964748852427405noreply@blogger.com
