The romance genre appeals to me because I like HEA. (happy ever after) HEA leaves me feeling like there’s hope for the future and a little hope can do big things. BUT before you set up the HEA, you need a hero and a heroine. Ultimately, a romance is a story about the heroine and her journey to HEA. So what do you expect from a romantic heroine? |

I expect a lot from the heroine, especially if she’s going to take me on a journey and find HEA. Here’s what I’m looking for: she’s clever, has common sense, is a good sport, determined, loyal, and kind.
I took an informal poll of readers here on WDC who said they expected the following from their romantic heroines: they’re independent, classy, have integrity, strong moral fiber, and are kind. For good measure billikus said he expects them to wear low cut sweaters. We’ll talk about appearance in a bit……….
Here’s what professional editors expect: a realistic/believable heroine. What makes her believable? She isn’t perfect. She has flaws that balance her “Good” traits, such as being stubborn, demanding, bossy, and overly critical.
What about her appearance?
We all know that women struggle with weight challenges. Heck, I actively participate in Weight Watchers. I've been trying to lose the pregnancy weight for 8 years. When it comes to the heroine's appearance, she has to be convincingly attractive. What's important is her self-respect and that while she's not perfect, she strives to take care of her body.
What do you expect from your romantic heroine? Write in and let me know!
Send me a story with a strong romantic heroine and I'll feature in my next Newsletter.

I'm a big believer in the 5 Love Languages. It's a useful tool in all relationships. I know my husband's and all my kid's love languages. :)

My love language is Quality time.

I tried the quiz and got Acts of Service, which is very true. I wonder if it matters how old you are and how long you have been in the relationship? At my age, Acts of Service mean more than sex!
Thanks to everyone who shared their love language. I hope you all had your "love" language incooperated into your Valentines Day.
