Question About Examples
I’m working on the Writing/Romance stuff, and I just added an example using Maybe This Time. So you know, a book. But I always feel that using a movie is better because more people will have seen a popular movie than will have read almost any popular book. The only things movies can’t illustrate as well as books are things like point of view and internal monologue. But people get annoyed if I don’t use books because they’re writing books, not movies.
So help. Is using books as an example better than movies? Are movie examples just as helpful?

For me, movie examples work just as well as book examples because when I read I picture the story as a movie in my head. I can translate movie examples into how that would play out in my novel, just like I can translate novels into a movie in my head. I think that if you have a great book example, you should use it. However, movies are accessible and helpful to the more visually minded writers.
