In this episode, I discuss 5 tips for writing a solid romance.

1) Avoid cheesy and overdone dialogue. Limit your qualifiers in taglines. 
2) Utilize multiple love interests. A love triangle is a trope for a reason! 
3) No erotica. Keep it PG-13 to appeal to all readers.
4) Use multiple perspectives. Allow the protagonist to discover new lands.
5) Don't overdo similies and metaphors. If you can't find anything original to say, don't say it.

I created the Turn Write Podcast for beginning writers, for indie authors, for people who are looking for their voice and who want to know how to use it. The idea for this bite-sized podcast came to me as I sat in endless traffic commuting an hour each way to and from my 9-5 job, wondering why do I write? Why do I rush home every day with the agonizing hope of trying to string together meaningless words to create a feeling deeper than I could dare hope to describe? Well, day after day I kept thinking and there was only one answer: I loved to write. I am on a journey to becoming a published author, and I want to help you get there too.
