29 Oct 10 How to Write a Romantic Novel?
A romantic novel is the best gift one can ever dream of, and it delights not only teens but even a man or woman of 80. A good romantic novel always comes as a gasp of fresh air, with intoxicating charm and vivid imagination. One just can’t resist it. But even if romance comes to you naturally, penning it down isn’t so easy. Here are some tips about writing a romance studded novel.
Characterization
It’s the romantic characters of a novel that we live with, breathe in, fantasize and admire. Thus characterization is very important part of romantic novel writing. Infuse life into your characters, make them real, throbbing with energy. Even if the characters are like ‘dream come true’, make them appear real and close to life. Build them carefully, pouring your heart into it. Their thinking, nature, appearance, talks – everything has to reflect in your story. Make characters so real and romantic, that your readers fall in love with them.
Get inspired from reality
Real people should be your inspiration. If your characters belong to countryside, go and interact with the people there. It will help you in weaving characters, close to reality. If your character is a complete romantic person, talk to a romantic person in reality. Spend time together, watch him or her, and find out his or her story. The more you mix up with people in reality, better your characters shape up.
Make a perfect ambience
Get into detail of situations. If your hero falls in love with a coffee shop waitress, create such situation. Create an ideal coffee shop in your novel. Describe everything – from aroma of coffee to the story of corner table – always occupied by couples. Since romance will bloom in the setting, make it appear real. A love story can bloom even in a cemetery. Love stories need not always sound like a fairy tale.
Build climax slowly
Make your readers wait patiently for the right moment. Don’t give them the scoop of ice cream so easily. Let it come slowly, teasing the reader bit by bit. Build drama, conflict, climax, suspense. Don’t let the steamy scene come so easily. Don’t let the story rush. Remember, true love doesn’t unveil overnight. Let it bloom slowly yet steadily.
Finish with an impact behind
Sign off your story with grace. Finish with a deep impact behind. Make ending so impactful that it stays in your readers’ heart forever, burning with passion. Good novel readers swear by and give example of that love, everywhere.
Go for it!

This is great. This is huge. This is stupendous. This is amazing. This is gigantic. This is megalithic. This is enormous.
What I am going to teach you here is not going to even be described by these phrases. This is so exciting. I am going to tell you about three unconventional places to look for writing ideas. You will not find many people talking about these places. These are hidden idea sources.
Letters to the editor column
This is unexpected, isn’t it? You do not happen to read “letter to the editor” column in a magazine or the newspaper; at least, not with a purpose to find topics to write about. Despite the fact that each single word in this column is written by real people who actively seek answer to their questions.
Of how many people do you know, who reads an article in newspaper or magazine, and then pick up pen and paper, or go to their e-mail accounts to write a letter to the magazine, just to voice their opinion of the article?
There are not many people who do so, and those who do may very well go online to find the answer. From the letters, see which problem you can address, and right an informative article on that.
Eavesdropping in public
I know overhearing anyone’s personal conversation is not right, but what about those that people conduct in subways, metros, buses, parks, and restaurants, and that not to in low voice? That is not crime, as they already want people to take notice of what they are talking about.
Cash in on this opportunity. Pay close attention to what people are talking in a public place. You will get an idea about the problems people faces in their lives, and you will also get some ideas to develop in an article that will address real problem of real people.
Old magazine
Refurbishing old articles to meet the need of today’s generation is an awesome way to get more readers. Go through the pile of 10 or 20 years old magazine and see if you can find something that is still relevant today. Take that topic, do the research, and let your creative self flow. You will get a good article at the end of the process.
Be honest. Have you read about any of these sources anywhere else? Seriously, I want to know that because I happen to believe that it is only me who takes notice of these sources for article ideas. Please do me a favor, lift your finger from mouse, and hit keys on the keyword and post a comment below.

Buzzing sounds of messengers from PC, laptop, mobile phone – where not? Internet chatting is the latest socializing tool, an addiction of gen-x. It has replaced face to face communication. Virtual communication has taken a toll on our lives. Lack of time, long physical distance, personal problems and a plethora of reasons have accelerated the pace of its growth. Whatever have been the reasons, Internet chatting has swept in a huge change in the way people communicate, be it in terms of language, style of talking or content of communication.
It has raised many eyebrows, many frowning parental concerns and unstoppable controversies. Well, just like everything else it also has both bright and dark side. Chatting has actually united the entire world as one community, anyone can be talked to, and anyone can be known. Physical, racial, age, regional – all distances have been blurred with the advent of Internet chatting. People meet on chat rooms, text-chat, voice-chat, video-chat, share photographs, become best friends from good friends, fall in love and even get married. Wow! It was incredible few decades back. That’s the real power of Internet chatting.
On the other hand Internet chatting according to many has complicated our lives further, making our communications virtual, fake and is nothing but an illusion. It is a ‘make belief’ medium. People have turned into unsocial bunch; by shutting the door, sitting at home and chatting with internet buddies, rather than going out and making friends in real. This chatting captivated generation prefers to be a couch potato, hold a drink in hand and chat about all the stuffs they hesitate to do in real. People often exploit this medium, peek into others profiles and defame them with wrong intentions, talk objectionable things openly, abuse or comment on others, lie and create even false or misleading image of self. As a result people have lost faith, trust, and dependability on each other.
Chatting has actually saved time from meeting face-to-face, it has united those buddies who lost connection while pacing up with life, it has zeroed down the physical distance, has enabled people remaining in touch throughout, has helped people to exchange views, ideas and knowledge. On the other hand it has attracted many notorious people who take advantage of anonymous identity on Internet and indulge into wrong affairs, which they are scared of doing in reality.
Commenting on Internet chatting’s credibility – whether it’s a blessing or a curse is like chasing a fish in the ocean. There are a lot more of it; waiting to be unveiled in coming days. Let’s just wait and experience it!
