  • Stop building characters, start building their psychology

    Stop building characters, start building their psychology
    May 21 2026

    A Romance novel is only as good as its characters. Full stop.

    So why are so many popular romances these days falling short in the character department?

    The answer is simple: authors aren't doing the work to create the keys to unlock their characters psychological life.

    Without these 4 keys, romance falls flat and becomes tropey goop rather than transformative emotional fiction.

    Bring your messy characters to life with motivations rooted within them.

  • Your dialogue needs a job.

    Your dialogue needs a job.
    May 12 2026

    Welcome to the kickoff of the first *official* season of The Romance Room!

    This kickoff episode dives into something I'm extremely passionate about: dialogue.

    Dialogue is the emotional backbone of fiction, especially of the romance genre.

    However, a lot of romance writers think they're good at dialogue, but spoiler alert: they usually aren't. And that's because they're leaving dialogue unemployed.

    Letting dialogue slack off doesn't help you get the job done, it just wastes your pressure word count and stops the momentum of your writing.

    Good thing dialogue is my favorite thing to write and I know a thing or two about putting it to work.
