The Challenge<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I’ve signed up for the A to Z April Blogging Challenge<\/a>. This means I’ll be blogging 26 days in April. Every day except Sundays. Eeps. Challenge is right. But I have a theme and a plan and good intentions. If all else fails hopefully I’ll be too stubborn to quit.<\/p>\n

\"2016<\/p>\n

The Romance Genre: As A Writer and Reader<\/h2>\n

This year’s theme is my perspective on the romance genre as a writer and a reader. My take on some of my favourite topics like heroes, heroines, and villains. A peek at my bookshelf. Thoughts on diversity. A look at the different sub-genres of romance. That kind of thing.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

It’s going to be a lot of fun. I can’t wait to travel around the blogosphere seeing what other bloggers are sharing.<\/p>\n

Now might be a good time to share some of favourite blogs. They appeal to me for a variety of reasons. Romance Novels For Feminists<\/a> is written by Jackie C. Horne who provides book reviews and a smart take on the good and the not so good things and important things happening in romance novels. Momastery<\/a> written by Glennon Doyle Melton, an author, speaker, and activist. She never fails to inspire me. Terribleminds<\/a> penned by Chuck Wendig, novelist, screenwriter, and game designer. Lots about writing and pop culture \u00a0with A LOT of f-bombs tossed in. The Minimalst Baker<\/a> by Dana and John, a couple out of Portand, Oregon. 10 or less ingredients and one bowl. Delicious!<\/p>\n

Books, life, writing, and food!<\/p>\n

Otherwise I’m busy rewriting the last third of Grace and Mike’s story. This last part is very bare bones. Lots of dialogue and people turning here and there so there is serious sweaty work needed to get it into half decent shape.<\/p>\n

Have a favourite blog to share?<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
