I did say I wasn't good at luvvy-duvvy stuff didn't I.
Well, to be honest I am quite enjoying myself with this current story. I have found that, if I concentrate, my romantic tendencies come to my aid. There is something quite sweet about red roses, long passionate kisses, handsome men and moonlit walks along the river. Not to mention eating out in intimate restaurant's, going to the theatre or weekend breaks in the country.
But, on the other hand I am being careful to also keep the story real and up to date. In the real world, love is often a game of ups and downs and never a bed of roses. There are still bills to be paid, worrying issues which arise and dare I mention the current economic climate. See, it's a balancing act. One which I am coming to understand the more I write. Whoever it was who first said 'we learn something new each day' certainly knew what he was talking about.
About Me
- Rae Argent
- A fiction writer and mum to three great kids, also lucky enough to be married to the man of my dreams. In spite of that mushy comment I do not write flowery romance - I like a nice helping of real life grit in my work. I have a Diploma in Literature & Creative Writing from The Open University and remain a member of the wonderful Watford Writers, despite moving on several times. I am a big fan of Swanwick Writers Summer School which has taught me a great deal and where I have made many great friends. I have yet to reach the dizzy heights of becoming a published superstar but will continue to send my work out into the world.
