From your favorite authors of the romance genre, Jane Austen to Nicholas Sparks, their novels spark that emotion, passion, and different nature of love in every love story. No matter how the love story progresses, there are a few essential elements every romance novel has in common.
From strong characters, predictable/unpredictable plot twists and steamy scenes that ignite the emotions, love stories are a great way to reach the emotional side of the readers.
In this article, we are going to share with you the essential elements to be included in your love story so that you can build a successful and engaging romance novel.
KEEP THE PASSION OF THE GENRE ALIVE!
1. BUILDING YOUR PLOT ON THE BASE GENRE
Romance as a genre is wider than you think. Most of the writers who are writing romance can lie within the broad spectrum. But the base plot of the author can be something else. For example, the authors who are passionate about the horror genre, then you can write about paranormal romance.
If you are passionate about the mystery/thriller genre, you can build the romance between the antagonist and the heroine and let the hero fight for the purpose of the story to keep the plot suspenseful and engaging.
The baseline is to write the love story keeping the passion for your genre alive.
2. FOCUS ON THE CHARACTER BUILDING
Romance needs the building of strong characters. The love story must be built around not only the main couple but also the people around them.
