A Summer Romance

Anna’s Notes

This story is based on how a lot of people I’ve met have started trying to write novels. They read a bad book and feel sure they can do better. And some of them can. Even if they can’t, it doesn’t matter, because it’s such fun trying.

People don’t feel intimidated by the thought of writing a shorter book, a modern romance, so it’s what a lot of people start with. I was one of them. I tried to write Mills & Boon romances and soon found it wasn’t at all my cup of tea. It’s a lot harder than it looks to write a short novel. I put in too many characters and my stories are too long. I learned a lot trying, though, which I carried over to other sorts of books I’ve had published.

You learn to write by doing it, so I’d encourage anyone who’s interested to have a try. After all, you don’t have to show your work to anyone unless you want to. But be warned: writing/storytelling is addictive. I confess to being totally addicted. Keep me from writing for a few days and I become a grouch.

Like my heroine, I’ve been to quite a few romance writers’ conferences and they’re great fun, with very friendly people who welcome newcomers. It was at one of them that I got the original idea for this story.

This is a modern fairy tale, really – but well, sometimes fantasies do come true.
