I used to approach writing like a football game. If I went out there and aggressively saw more, I'd know more, and I'd capture more, and I'd write better. Hut, hut, hut: First down and haiku!
One never really knew what went on inside the hearts of other people, even those hearts you thought you knew as well as your own.
The meanest hut with love in it is a palace fit for the gods, and a palace without love is a den only fit for wild beasts.
A thirst for gold, The beggar's vice, which can but overwhelm The meanest hearts.

By about the sixth romance I knew I wasn't in exactly the right place. I liked writing action. And I wanted to write a book with a little more edge than I was allowed in romance.
Wake up feeling like my life's worth living. Can't recall when I last felt that way. Guess it must be all this love you're giving.

Some hearts just get lucky sometimes.

I have no objection to well-written romance, but I'd read enough of it to know that that's not what I had written.

I don't really get the same kinda romance that I would get from, like, jazz. And even to a lesser extent to rock 'n roll. Rock 'n roll has a romance to it - how can I put it? A very vulgar romance, but still a romance; whereas hip hop has more facade.
Star-crossed lovers desperate to get home together. Two hearts beating as one. Romance.
In 1976, I read a book by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss and knew immediately that I, too, could write a historical romance. It took me a year to complete the manuscript. I was a forty-year-old Scarborough housewife who knew no one in publishing.
