Why do I write romance?

So yeah another blog, but like I have never really dwelved into this and I figured it would be good to let you all in on a little secret.
I'm a hopeless romantic.
After my divorce with my ex-husband, I went through a phase of "hating" men, and then I realized it wasn't males that were the problem. It was my ex specifically. Even now whenever I'm around him it "triggers" me. I just get so angry, and all I want to do is be left alone. And of course he never listens nor cares.

But that's not the point
Why I write romance.
I have always wanted to not be alone. I realized far too late there is NOTHING wrong with being alone. It doesn't make me WEAK. It doesn't make me less of a woman. However being alone can hurt. You can feel plagued by this "void" and desire to fullfill it. So like I just picture myself as Character A and have Character B be my partner. For three years, I was single. I had one brief little fling with some guy that clearly wasn't good for me.
eventually I settled. It was OKAY to be ALONE. It was hard but I was doing a lot better.

So yeah, I'm just a sap and sucker for anything romance, and if you ever need help with pre-reading.proof-reading a romance story, and need some pony's else's POV. Come Dm me. I promise I don't bite. (unless you're into that.)

Yeah, being alone is not wrong in any way. You're still perfectly capable of forming a relationship with someone when you want and try to meet that person.

As to writing, I always thought I couldn't write romance. It just seemed like I couldn't just imagined and put it into words like other types of stories.
However, after being in this site for a while, I decided to give it a shot and hope for the best. And honestly, even if the story itself wasn't very popular, it's considered one of my best works. And I'm really happy that I manage to write it at the end, and I'm currently writing a new romance story that I'm really excited about.

Good luck with future romance stories!

I’m sorry about what you had to go through Nailah... better to be alone than to be with someone who doesn’t love or respect you for who you are.

I’m a hopeless romantic myself, I love romance and being in love, and I hope Mr. Right is out there somewhere for you

indeed my friend that void is familiar to me as well. and your also right It doesn't make you weak, to be alone. I'm in that position myself and I take comfort that I'm not truly alone.

I hope this doesn't sound as inconsiderate as it sounds when I read it to myself. if it does I know you understand and will explain it if it does/is
