With a focus on character-driven writing and leveraging personal strengths, Ronnie offers valuable insights for her fellow writers.00:00 Introduction: Challenging Writing Norms01:30 Meet Romance Author Roni Lauren02:05 Roni's Writing Journey04:36 Discussing 'The Ones Who Got Away' Series and writing Rom Drama06:30 Exploring Romance and Character Development16:29 The Challenges of Writing and Burnout20:55 Self-Doubt and Imposter Syndrome28:08 Current Projects and Final ThoughtsGuest Bio & LinksRoni wrote her first romance novel at age fifteen when she discovered writing about boys was way easier than actually talking to them. Since then, her flirting skills haven't improved, but she likes to think her storytelling ability has. She holds a master's degree in social work and spent years as a mental health counselor, but now she writes full-time from her cozy office in North Texas where she puts her characters on the therapy couch instead. She is a two-time RITA Award winner, a HOLT Medallion winner, and a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. She is also a Gallup® Certified Strengths Coach with the Better Faster Academy.Links:Website: http://www.roniloren.comNewsletter/Substack for readers: https://roniloren.substack.com/The Nourished Writer (a newsletter/Substack for writers) https://thenourishedwriter.substack.com/Instagram: @ronilorenSupport the show To become a supporter of the show, click here!To get in touch with Stacy: Email: Stacy@writeitscared.co https://www.writeitscared.co/ https://www.instagram.com/writeitscared/ Take advantage of these Free Resources From Write It Scared: Download Your Free Novel Planning and Drafting Quick Start Guide Download Your Free Guide to Remove Creative Blocks and Work Through Fears

Jenn McKinlay is a prolific writer who is best known for the Library Lover's and Cupcake Bakery Mysteries. McKinlay is quickly building a loyal following for her women's fiction and romantic comedies, and her latest is “Wait for It.” When the protagonist, Annabelle, moves from Boston to Phoenix, McKinlay brings readers a slice of life in the desert, a setting the author calls home. She talks about writing, the ways the pandemic cramped her style, baking, travel, and who is the boss of her house (hint: not a human.)  Her next Library Lover's book, “Killer Research” is available November 2. A Moment With Margaret: Margaret and Olivia discuss a few other books with subtle character connections or crossover characters in stand-alone books. Margaret recommends Roni Loren's “Yes & I Love You” and “What If You & Me,” and Olivia recalls old favorites by Emily Giffin, including “Something Borrowed” and the fun finding easter eggs between books, like Jennifer Weiner's “Big Summer” and “That Summer.”

Today's episode discusses the books and shows that the host has been loving lately, including The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller, Yes & I Love You by Roni Loren, and Outlander on Netflix and Amazon. Listen in on the reviews and thoughts on these current faves, and how the Team Edward and Team Jacob dynamic weirdly parallel some of the battles in the books mentioned. Thank you guys so much for your unending support! It means the world to me, and I can't wait to keep reading and talking with you all.

Can you fall in love with a stranger? Is anything a mystery anymore? “To Sir, With Love” is a romantic comedy written by Lauren Layne who serves up a satisfying look at modern love in Manhattan. Part “Love Is Blind” meets “You've Got Mail,” the novel's protagonist Gracie Cooper is holding down the fort of her champagne shop/ family business, while falling for anonymous stranger on a dating app she only knows as “sir.” Lauren talks to Olivia about delivering a feel-good story when readers need it the most, and why her own life in Manhattan is so important to her writing. For a reader who loves “To Sir, With Love” Margaret recommends other easy, breezy romantic comedies: “Yes & I Love You” by Roni Loren, “The Real Deal” by Lauren Blakely, and two books by Katharine McGee, “American Royals” and “Majesty.” All pair nicely with a chilled glass of Cava.
