I realize not everyone is interested in writing genre fiction, or even romance, but let me ask you this: Are you being published? Are you satisfied with what you’re accomplishing or are you holding out for that ultimate goal or dream? I heard a speaker say that having a book published–even an ebook–builds credibility. She also said that we should be creating multiple income streams. I’d be thrilled with a couple of drips! She said, too, that publishing a book is important regardless of how we do it. Do you agree? Don’t let “literary pride” get in the way of writing romance. Don’t let being a guy keep you from writing romance. Just for fun, plot and write one of these fun stories. Just for fun. Then, determine what you want to do with it. And remember, if you decide to publish it, you can always use a pen name.
