How do you write a kissing book?Writing a well-structured romance isn't the same as writing any other genre-something the popular novel and screenwriting guides don't address. The romance arc is made up of its own story beats, and the external plot and theme need to be braided to the romance arc-not the other way around.Told in conversational (and often irreverent) prose, Romancing the Beat can be read like you are sitting down to coffee with romance editor and author Gwen Hayes while she explains story structure. The way she does with her clients. Some of whom are regular inhabitants of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.Romancing the Beat is a recipe, not a rigid system. The beats don't care if you plot or outline before you write, or if you pants your way through the drafts and do a "beat check" when you're revising. Pantsers and plotters are both welcome. So sit down, grab a cuppa, and let's talk about kissing books.

Book excerpt: By the Seat of Your Pants: Secrets of Discovery Writing delves into the uncharted waters of a writing technique often shrouded in mystery and skepticism. Written by a seasoned author who’s embraced the art of discovery writing (writing without a predefined outline), it offers a fresh perspective on a method that many conventional schools of thought tend to overlook or outright dismiss. This book challenges the norm, encouraging writers to explore the untapped potential of discovery writing. At its core, By the Seat of Your Pants is a celebration of storytelling in its most organic form. It demystifies the concept of discovery writing, illustrating how some of the most engaging and captivating narratives are born from spontaneity and intuition, and offers guidance to those looking to explore discovery writing techniques. More than just a craft guide, it’s an affirmation for every writer who has ever felt constrained by the rigid frameworks of traditional writing methods. The book opens with a candid look at KimBoo’s journey through the various phases of learning and then unlearning everything she was taught about outlining and planning a story. Her experience was not just about writing, but about breaking free from the shackles of conventional writing methodologies. KimBoo shares personal anecdotes and experiences, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs of embracing a pantser’s approach. Common misconceptions about discovery writing are addressed and answered, encouraging writers to trust in their storytelling abilities, even when they deviate from the conventional path. Moreover, this book is a call to the writing community to broaden its perspective on what constitutes ‘real’ writing. It challenges the stigma often associated with non-traditional writing methods, particularly discovery writing, and advocates for a more inclusive understanding of different creative processes. KimBoo’s life-long experiences with fanfiction, genre writing, and her persistent use of discovery writing are highlighted as examples of the diverse and rich tapestry of the literary world. By the Seat of Your Pants is a book that validates the experiences of countless writers who have felt marginalized or misunderstood. It’s a beacon for those who yearn to write freely, without the constraints of strict, inhibiting structures. The book serves as a starting point for a broader conversation about the legitimacy and effectiveness of various writing techniques. In the end, KimBoo York has written a book which stands as a powerful reminder that the journey of writing is as unique as the story being told. It’s an invitation to embrace your individuality as a writer, to find joy in the unexpected, and to discover the stories that lie waiting in the unexplored territories of your imagination. By the Seat of Your Pants: Secrets of Discovery Writing is more than a book; it’s a movement, and a declaration of independence for writers everywhere. Join the revolution of discovery writers and embark on a journey of creative liberation and storytelling without boundaries.
