If you’ve done any freewriting now is the time to develop a plot or a theme from those writings. Write down all your ideas for characters, events, and places. On indexcards flesh out your characters, tell about their hair color, eye color, build, education, job, hobbies. The more you know about your actors, the more believable they will be when you write your book.

Select a time frame and location. What do you want to write: mystery, historical, fantasy, or ethnic romance novels? Make that decision and then research the market and write to sell in that market. Study book covers, themes, and plots. What do the best sellers look like? Don’t reinvent the wheel.

In the first few pages of writing you must create intense interest. Book publishers and readers usually will not go much farther than the opening paragraphs. That old phrase,”if only I had known” did it’s job at providing suspense and interest. Can you think of an equally attention getting phrase? Of course you can!

Now, create your main character and endow them with human qualities. No one is perfect and they shouldn’t be either. Let their faults show. Fill out their index card with all the details of a living human being. Perhaps you can base your character on someone you know. Just be careful not to be too blatant writing your descriptions.

All characters must have a reason for being there. They should add something to the story. It may not be significant but they must help move the story along.And allow lots of dialog. Let your characters speak as they would in real life.

The main components to a romance novel are:
