Every writer wants to be different and rip up the rulebook. But if you write in genre fiction, the rules are there for a reason: because readers expect them and want them. If you fail to follow them, readers will shrug and say things like "it was a great story, but something wasn't quite right", and they won't come back. The solution? Follow the rules, but put your own twist on them. Build obstacles/characters/side plots around them. You can still be special, but in a good way. Every genre has its own set of essential scenes to include in every story, but if you're writing lesbian romance, here are the top six to put on the page. Otherwise, your reader will feel cheated, and they will be sad. You don't want to be responsible for sadness, do you? Click over to my blog to find out the six scenes every lesbian romance novel needs.www.clarelydon.co.uk/2021/04/top-tips-lesbian-romance-key-scenes/#more-9578#tuesdaytips #queer #writingtips #lesbianfiction ...

Big London Dreams is out in July, and I can't wait for you to read the story of Joan and Eunice! For the first time ever, I'm doing a pre-order, too. If you’ve read Hot London Nights where the couple were introduced, this is their story of love in the late 1950s, followed by heartbreak and then the ultimate second-chance romance! It's got romance, heart and ALL the feels! Big London Dreams is book eight in my London Romance series, and it's my first-ever historical romance, which I'm having a lot of fun writing. If you want to pre-order my upcoming novel on Kindle, Apple or Barnes & Noble, head over to my website for more.https://www.clarelydon.co.uk/books/coming-soon/#romancenovel #lesbian ...

You can do a whole lot in seven years. Eat 364 tins of baked beans. Have nine kids. Drink 2,555 pots of nuclear-strength coffee. Watch all of Grey's Anatomy. Or, you could do what I did and write 18 novels. I started out slow, with one novel, then another. In the first three years part-time, I eeeked out five books. Then something clicked, and I've written three novels a year since 2017. It's taken hard work, discipline and a whole lot of love to get here. Along the way, I've learned so much. But every day, I'm working for myself and doing my dream job. I can't ask for more! And so, as I hit seven years as a novelist with not the mere hint of an itch, I've written a blog about ten things I've learned. Want to read it? Course you do. Dash over to my blog now! www.clarelydon.co.uk/2021/04/seven-years-as-an-author-ten-things-ive-learned/#mybooks #Throwback ... See MoreSee Less
