Yeah, developing the plot is always a good idea… just not as fun as romance. :] If I ever finish the third draft that I’m working on of my book (somehow no one told me that books take so much work when I started. Although, I didn’t exactly know anyone who wrote when I started, nor did I tell anyone when I started, it just kind of…[Read more]

Hey, I like your plot. Sounds like something I would like reading.😊 I would say spending time to develop the plot and characters would be a great idea, whether or not it’s a total romance. The deeper the characters, the better the relationships will be.
I hope this isn’t too personal, but is your name actually Ari? I LOVE that name.😍…[Read more]

I would love to look at your NaNoWriMo! I’m sure it will be amazing!
I think some Christians do have different standards, but I guess for me, I wouldn’t even have them kiss before marriage. That’s just personal though, I think it really does depend on the person and what they are comfortable with. Only up to a point though, because the…[Read more]

I think it is possible to insinuate too much. When I’m afraid of crossing a “line” and being inappropriate or insinuating, I question whether I would let my parents (they’re always helpful when you’ve gone too far) or one of my younger sisters read it. If not, maybe I need to adjust something.
I love the idea of having the main romance…[Read more]

I haven’t read the Scarlet Pimpernel, although I should because I’d love to read someone “sticking it to” the French Revolution. I remember the Scarlet Pimpernel was mentioned in the Larry Norman song “Without Love (You Ain’t Nothin’)”. Yeah, I’m that old. My future spouse and I actually went to a Larry Norman concert back in the day.

I think I shall need to invite you two to have a look at my NaNoWriMo project, or the romantic pieces of it at least, when I get far enough.
My MC, as all MCs must, has a big lesson to learn, and part of the lesson involves how she approaches romance. She is a Christian but, like all Christians, she is a work in progress. She falls, she gets up…[Read more]

That makes a lot of sense. Most of the people in the Bible are certainly not what I would refer to as romantics (not sure about Solomon. Maybe he’s a romantic, but not a great one) but you do make the excellent point that there is at least something to build on.
I, personally, don’t have my characters that start out Christian go any further than…[Read more]

I think the Bible leaves a lot of room for romance…within certain boundaries. I wouldn’t base my romances off many biblical characters for obvious reasons (David, Abraham, Esther, etc.), but I think there are some examples, in the Bible, of what Biblical romance is. Ruth and Boaz are the best example, I believe, but there’s…[Read more]

I’m 100% a romantic, there is nothing that melts my heart faster. But, that being said, how much room does the Bible leave for romance? What is taking it too far, and what is biblical?

Ari Austin replied to the topic What do you appreciate in a romance? in the forum Romance Writers 5 years, 11 months ago
I am absolutely late to this thread, but it’s because I’m new. I did not join until recently.
Chivalry is the most romantic thing. But, to be fair, I am such a sappy hopeless romantic. At this point, everything melts my heart. (I least in books and my writing. I know nothing about real-life romance.)
My first thought on when you asked what I…[Read more]

I wrote this poem yesterday, and it’s the first one I’ve ever written in English (not including an attempt when I was 13 or so).
I want to weep
I want to weep until I have no power left to cry,
In Your embrace, I want to wail until my eyes get dry.
‘’It can’t occur’’, You said to me, You voice was sad, not mean,
‘’I long for you, My d…[Read more]
