I began writing my first romance novel last year. The emotions weren't too difficult, I felt that my relationship with my husband was the romance of the century, and we had beaten the odds to get together and stay together:heart
Then the unthinkable happened. He changed and started lying compulsively (and badly), I discovered he was having an affair, he chose to be with her over me! :grr
The romance novel came to a big FAT ginding halt!
Although I am quite happy with life again and have accepted what happened and moved on, I am finding it very difficult to be inspired to start back on the romance.
Any ideas of how to get myself back into the right mood for writing romance (short of falling in love with somebody else)? Any exercises you use to help you? I know I should be able to write from emotional memory and part of being a writer is being able to use my imagination - and I am having no problem with this for other areas of writing - but the romance is evading me!
Thanks,
