My First Writing Class

Published January 20, 2009 | By M. Lori Motley

As a Christmas present to myself, I signed up for an internet-based course offered by my local community college titled, “How to Write a Romance Novel.” Now, I am not the biggest fan of romance novels, though I do think my newest project may be a fantasy romance in the end.

I chose to take this course because it seemed to be the most extensive of all writing courses offered at the college. It covers everything from character creation and plot to synopsis and query writing. The instructor has 39 romance novels published, so she must know what she is doing.

Updates will be posted every week about the topics covered and how effective I think the class is.
