Erynne started the topic Is it wrong to throw in some romance? in the forum Romance Writers 4 years, 4 months ago
This group never gets used and I’m stuck in the car for 9 hours so I’ve decided to use it. I mean it’s either that or get some writing done so it’s an obvious decision.
I am always down for some [appropriate] romance so I naturally like writing it. The problem I have though is following the “does it help the plot” rule. Meaning I put romance in every story without it benefiting tho plot.
But I got to thinking about that’s realistic. I strive for realism in my story even if it’s a total fantasy I still don’t want it to seem fake ya know?
Romance isn’t something that just doesn’t happen so why exclude it from your story just because it doesn’t benefit the plot? That seems as fake as a character that never makes a mistake or gets upset.
What do y’all think?
