Keep Love in your heart...

Keep love in your heart. 

A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. 

The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.

Oscar Wilde

From Mother Teresa

God is the friend of silence.

See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence;

see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence…

We need silence to be able to touch souls.

- Mother Teresa

Characterization is the Key to Writing a Great Romance Novel

The romance novel focuses on the romance between the two main characters.  This is what makes it different from any other novel. The plot is character driven.  The story develops logically and naturally from character and conflict.
