I have been involved in a writer's group for the past year and I have read probably 400 or more romances. You have this characteristic in common with all successful romance writers. We all love the genre. Since taking the plunge, I have written four of my own novels. My problem is gathering the courage to seek an agent so I can see myself published.
Good ones seem so hard to find.
This is where a really supportive and professional writing group can be invaluable. If your courage fails, yell at yourself. A piece of business, not a piece of your soul. Because writing is a business, a large industry, and letters are the accepted method of communications. You'll do fine.
