That was really good! I enjoyed it a lot, and I say that you have a knack for writing poetry. The fact that it was based on something on LotR helped too. 🙂

Tudor Turcu posted an update in the group Romance Writers 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Good to meet you. I’m Tudor, 19 years old, finishing high school this year. I live in Germany, and for all my teenage life I’ve had a passion for writing. So far I have only written a handful of short stories, though, and my preferred genres are historical/political/war drama, but I’ve become interested in romance lately. I’ve developed some…[Read more]

Aww I bet that’s going to be adorable! But now, I’m excited for the last book, and I’m only in the middle of the second. I need to start reading it more often… XD

*facepalm* No, sorry, that was my fault! For some reason my crazy brain thought that it was @jsclingman asking the question. I thought it didn’t make any sense! Now I understand why! 😂
There’s romance in the last book!? Now I definitely have to read it…

I’m reading Starsight and LOVE it! and @jsclingman a book with some younger person romance (still cute) is the last book in the Wingfeather saga.

Sorry my question about the kissing was for @jsclingman. I’ve read the Witch of Blackbird Pond and love it

@jsclingman, if you’re looking for something in the comedy vein, Georgette Heyer’s Regency romances are super-fun. While they are not free of language, kissing, etc. it is definitely kept to a minimum. There are not inappropriate sexual scenes in any of the ones I’ve read.
While I have no claim to being an expert, I’ve done a lot of reading and…[Read more]

There’s no kissing in The Witch of Blackbird Pond. At least I’m pretty sure there isn’t… It’s been a while since I’ve read it. (Fyi there’s no witchcraft in it, don’t let the title scare you 😉 )

I can’t say that I can recommend stories that would fall under the “Romance” category (I don’t read a lot of that), but I have read some stories with really amazing romance.
Well-known ones that I use for my own reference are Anne of Green Gables (Book 3: Anne of the Island), Little Women, and Rifles for Watie by Harold Keith. I’ve…[Read more]

I have five words for you: The Witch of Blackbird Pond. You’re welcome.It sounds exactly like what you’re looking for. That’s my favorite romance I’ve read. And one of the only ones XD (unless you count Nancy Drew🤔) I am working through one at the moment, Twice Freed by my favorite author Patricia St…[Read more]

Hi! Currently, I’m attempting to write a romance novella. It’s going semi-well, but the fact that I haven’t read any romances ever (excepting The Tale of Despereaux, if you count that as one, and Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen), makes it a little difficult. Not difficult, exactly, I guess. I just want to make sure I’m not writing cliche stuff or…[Read more]

Greetings everyone!
I’m endeavoring to rewrite my spy novel into something bearable. You know during the early 2000’s when everyone was writing spy novels? My 14 year old self was right there with them! However, the story and the characters are very near and dear to my heart, so I figure I owe them a second chance. I feel like interacting with…[Read more]

@erynne Thank you. I feel like everyone has to deal with this stuff sometime in their writing journey.
I usually use Lord of the Rings or Wingfeather Saga as my reference. Both deal with relationships (even hard ones), and both have smoking and maybe some alcohol, but neither have language, and the men treat ladies with respect. I draw my line in…[Read more]
