Margaret answers:

What is an ambitious writer? This column is based on Margaret's question from those who want to write romantic novels as well. The answer is based on her personal experience. All authors have to find and follow their way along this path; however, sometimes it is useful to know how to reach the author of the publication goal.

In the simplest language, the tension of the story is why the reader reads because they want to know what will happen next.

In romance and other novels, the best way is to create roles that readers mind and make them feel emotional. If you care about your role and what happened to them, they will continue to read. If you do not mind your role, they do not mind your story. So first of all, you must create funny, realistic characters that the reader can understand - depending on the character that the reader can cheer or their role in your story, topics And snoring.

But there are more. There should also be interesting activities, risks, risks (whether physical or emotional danger or risk). Tension is dependent on * conflicts * that your role faces and how they resolve the dispute.

In romance, the tension of the story arises from various conflicts because the reader knows the final result (a long-term and loving relationship between the hero and the hero). The scale of these conflicts should increase and there is the possibility of bringing more serious consequences. As the conflict gets worse, tensions are on the rise, and readers are focused on seeing the results of happiness.

If you are writing a short relationship, you do not have so many conflicting "spaces"; but with longer singles you did it.

Nonetheless, every confrontation of a romantic novel should affect the relationship between heroes and heroes.

However, the tension not to be unraveled is not good. It makes the reader very anxious that they can not enjoy themselves

Like humor, relief is not necessarily funny. It can be more relaxed and less stressful feeling, such as simply a gentle moment between husband and wife, or participation in daily activities. This type of scene will also help you show your character like a real person and live a normal life.

Trick is to relieve anxiety and relieve extreme tension, but it is not enough for the reader to put the book. The relief scene needs to be shorter than the dramatic scene
