Author Advice: What Makes a Compelling Romance? with Jennifer Youngblood Part 2

[Music] so my guest today is Jennifer Youngblood and Jennifer is a USA Today best-selling author of over 80 clean romance sweet romance romantic comedy and romantic suspense novels what would you say is makes a good compelling and engaging romance novel I've heard it said that romance is the only genre that we know what's going to happen I mean we know the guy and the girl are going to get together right we already know that we don't know how it's going to happen and I kind of like to think of it as their very own brand of happily ever after everybody's story is unique I try to tap into that and get to know my characters and I try to make sure that they're right for each other I know by now that like there are characters that I can craft that people are going to just love they love these characters but it would be kind of boring if you wrote those same two characters over and over and over right and I like to kind of delve a little deeper and sometimes my characters have quirks or things they're trying to overcome and and they need that right person and I kind of like to think of it as the reader gets to experience falling in love and that never gets old
