Hello, my name is Amanda, nice to meet all of you. I'm 22 years old, I have an amazingly supportive boyfriend that I've been with for just over a year now (he's also the only one who knows I'm writing, aside from all you fine people), I have one birth sister and 5 step siblings. I found writing.com because I wanted somewhere I could get good feedback on my writing and how I could perfect it or make my story better. I appreciate honest feedback and want to grow as a writer, so if anyone is willing to go read the chapters I have posted thus far and give me good feedback I'd greatly appreciate it!

My first novel is a romance novel. What I did was take some true events that have happened to me and mixed them into a story. My last boyfirend was in the army, and I remember I thought I was in love with him, until my feelings started to change that I couldn't understand. I was holding onto our relationship more for his sake, I felt that I would be a horrible person for leaving him when he was over seas so I held onto the relationship. Finally I couldn't handle it so I ended it. A year later I met the man I'm with now and couldn't be happier, so I wanted to merge the two together among other dramatic events and try to make a romance out of it.


My question is to all you romance writers out there, what tips or suggestions do you give to best enhance the plot?

So nice to meet all of you, and please give feedback to my writing if you can. I will return the favor. Have a great day!
