"My husband reads romance. And writes it. That's how we met, in fact, at a romance writers group. He was very smart; he read all my books so he could figure out what I like, what I think is romantic."

I've asked before, and thought maybe I needed to ask in a different section. But, does anybody have any idea if writing a romance from a male point of view, first person, is something doable? Desirable?

Erin Emerson said… Glad to provide you with a laugh, if nothing else. Writing is HARD. And everyone has that friend, who when you've written a book, whimsically replies "Oh, I've thought about writing a book", which always makes me cringe. Please check out my post "Writing is a Thankless Job (sorry don't know link, but it's on my page) as you are definitely my coworker!

Meg Waite Clayton said… - Abigail, With apologies for the late greetings (Random House has me travelling a lot for my new novel), welcome to the novelist group. If you haven't already done so, you might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion. And we do a live chat every Wednesday; hope you can join us for that!

Stacey Wiedower said… Abigail, my husband is also a writer, and he's interested in writing romance. He has one nearly-finished manuscript with strong romantic elements. And my own WIP is a dual-narrative written from a male and female perspective.
