Top Ten Reasons to be a Romance Novelist

1. You get to work in your pj's, the racier the better, I suppose.

2. You get to use verbs like "quivering", and "throbbing", and really when do you ever get to use those words in regular conversation.

3. In romance novel fantasy land all the men are gorgeous, rich, and great in the sack...yeah, that sound like my life, ...not.

4. And along those same lines, the women are all busty but unearthly skinny, smart and never get pimples.

5. Romance novel women also never have to pee or get their periods. hmmm...

6. Not only do you get to use great verbs, but think of all the great descriptive words you get to use like...scorching, moist, sizzling, ...need I go on? Ever notice how these words sound more like kitchen words?

7. Romance novelists must certainly know how to talk naughtily to their sweeties without sounding like a complete dork. Seems like an asset, right?

8. When Fabio or some other muscular hottie comes to pose for the cover, he is certainly going to be hanging around for a long time, since the cover art is for some reason not a photo but some kind of illustration.

9. If you were a romance novelist you would know every slang term for sex ever invented...I believe there are 113 to date. Cue the fireworks...

10. Certainly if you are a romance writer you must have a great imagination, which is definitely a necessity in anyones romance department, ...can I get an Amen?

Kiss your sweetie and have a great day!!
