As a young girl, I wanted to be like the heroines in the romance books I read.
As an adult, I realize my romance book would probably be 2 pages long.
First, I can’t keep a secret, at least not a life changing secret. Secret baby, murdering best friend, hidden identity, etc. Yeah, I’m telling. I’m thinking half of my problems will be solved if I just fess up in the beginning and let the chips fall where they may
Second, in my real life, I don’t like drama. I hid a box of printer paper once as a joke. HR had to get involved, it wasn’t pretty. Having to keep the fact that I’m the daughter of a rival businessman a secret in order for our relationship to work is just too much work.
Third, I would need a crazy sidekick. Don’t get me wrong, I have some ride or die friends, but they’re more ride than die sooo again, no drama for me.
Last but not least, if I were to live my life as a romantic character, when would I have time to read? With all the espionage, galas, and sexing going on, when would I have time to pick up a good book and get lost for a few hours? Is there a market for readers to read books about someone reading books? Hmmmmmm
