But li...I'm one who needs a happily ever after. But like others have said, every story I read is about a relationship of some sort. My hat's off to you, Liz, for forging a new sub-genre. I'm with you all the way. Write what you want and what makes you happy, There is a backlash against traditional romance, believe it or not. I feel it all the time because that's what I read and write. I've stopped defending what I write. I love traditional romance, and I don't apologize.Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-77668705532947576762013-09-12T19:51:36.296-04:002013-09-12T19:51:36.296-04:00Hi Liz,

I suppose the only way to forge a better understanding is to read them... you sound busy with great plans to revamp and tweak for expanded markets. Good luck to you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005215075724810989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-23052287624317632212013-09-12T19:13:08.126-04:002013-09-12T19:13:08.126-04:00I do think that we are all writing relationship fi...I do think that we are all writing relationship fiction, whether the relationship is between man and a fish or between a man and his buds. It doesn't have to be a love romance but that's what I like...I will read horror romance, erotic romance, science fiction romance, basically any type of romance because I want to believe that there is a happily ever after, even if the characters have to work to get there... I want some reality, not just a rich millionaire who bosses me around. I want the ideal that there is someone who will love me and accept me, even if that is my dog. :)All the best!Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-35145965143356478302013-09-12T16:11:11.451-04:002013-09-12T16:11:11.451-04:00I like the Relationship Fiction genre idea.

I need it. <br /><br />But a reinvention of self occasionally is a good plan. janeleopoldquinn.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05393771532686229258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-31604184696623978922013-09-12T12:30:39.969-04:002013-09-12T12:30:39.969-04:00It's an odd business this writing gig. People ...It's an odd business this writing gig. People always want to define and quantify. It's the nature of being human.<br /><br />But sometimes someone sings their own tune with an instrument no one ever considered using before.<br /><br />Best of luck with the re-invent, I hope it goes well. We'll all be able to say ... hey, I knew the writer that started that genre!Nina Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548896481430215466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-24993317898088484472013-09-12T11:36:19.139-04:002013-09-12T11:36:19.139-04:00My husband keeps telling me I'm wasting my tim...My husband keeps telling me I'm wasting my time because everyone is writing these days. <br /><br />One moment he's telling me my publisher is making a lot more money off of me than I know, and then he tells me to self-publish. The man knows nothing about this industry. lolSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843816981385732033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-44111516987414519702013-09-12T08:36:25.111-04:002013-09-12T08:36:25.111-04:00Great post!
