The romance course I am taking over the internet from the local community college is proving to be a wealth of information.  Not only is it giving very specific tips about how to write romance, most of it can be easily translated into non-romantic fantasy and horror genre novels.

My current/future WIP, "The Dream Dwellers," which will be a fantasy romance novel, is churning in my mind.  Through the romance course lessons, and more especially the assignments at the end of each, the entire plot and progression of the romance is being fleshed out nicely.

Only a couple more weeks to go in the course.  I am toying with taking an Advanced Fiction Writing course next, though I may concentrate more on writing fiction than learning about writing fiction for a while.
