I get to put my heart onto the page and share it with others! Writing is emotionally rewarding. If I have a bad day, I put those emotions into the villains of my novels, releasing my frustrations--and likewise, my joys--into my work.
Not only is writing cathartic, but as an avid reader, myself, I know what it feels like to be captured in a story and taken away on an adventure. More importantly, however, reading a romance novel can alter your perspective on others, encouraging you to think about the unique things that make them who they are, and why they're important. For example, the way someone's smile can light up their face, the way their eyes show their feelings, their nervous habits, the way they curl their hair behind their ear… All of those things often go overlooked in our day-to-day lives. Not everyone is perfect, but reading romance novels teaches us to appreciate the smaller nuances of a person's character, and love them for it. I aim to be a part of that world.
