A realization about story structure: Call me naive, but it was only this weekend that I realized that romance genre heroines have to be unlikeable. While the hero's flaws can be misunderstandings, the reader/audience must be able to say "I can do better than..." to many of the heroine's decisions.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
