WHAT MAKES A GREAT SERIES ROMANCE?

Here's what Randall Toye, Director Global Series at Harlequin had to say on Isabel Swift's blog: --

"The key focus is a good story, well told. The basic building blocks? Character, Structure, Pacing, Payoff. Easy to list. Not so easy to deliver. As one author beautifully articulated: "Just because they're easy to read doesn't mean they're easy to write!" Quite the opposite. The series romance, like a sonnet, is a beautiful, disciplined, elegant, and demanding creative form."

I was so confused when I read about everlasting...and then realized the date of the post was back in 2006!

And that despite line changes, every other word on the blog is still true.
