Now that the book club has been up and running for a couple of months -- and boy, it doesn't seem that long! -- it may look a bit daunting and overwhelming to people who are joining us for the first time right now.
Please don't be put off by the size and breadth of the discussion. You are welcome. We want you!
You can jump in anywhere and work in any section of the board. If you'd like to take a systematic approach I suggest doing the topics in this order:
1. What Romance Is -- an introduction to romance novels.
2. Heroines and their Heroes -- getting to know your main characters.
3. Secondary Characters -- adding others to your story.
4. Conflict -- adding problems for your characters.
5. POV -- handling point of view in telling your story.
6. Dialogue -- letting your characters have a say.
We'll be adding other threads as time goes on.
Though one topic at a time is at the top of the board, I read everything that's posted, and a lot of other participants are doing the same thing, so your posts will be seen no matter where you're working.
Again, welcome! If you've joined the party late, grab a virtual drink and a handful of goodies, ignore the noise made by all the people who've been here a while
and introduce yourself. We're happy to have you.
Happy writing,
Leigh
