Romance Novels

Life is not a romance novel. Or so I've been told. At one point in my life, I would have agreed. Romance novels are very deceiving.

I don't think so. Romance novels are NOT deceiving. mmmmm. Even now I can hear my husband walking towards the computer room, and although I'm totally annoyed that he's going to interrupt my typing, I'm infinitely more curious to see what he's going to do. My heart picks up it's pace and I quickly debate downsizing my screen. I can see him out of the corner of my eye. He's leaning against the door frame. He looks amused, so I can only assume he's pretending he can read what I'm writing. I know he can't see from that far. I stop and look over.

"What?" I ask, biting back my smile and looking very annoyed. I'm not very successful because he's coming closer. He leans over, his arms on either side of me.

"I just came for a kiss," He lies. I give him a quick peck and push against his chest, "Romance novels," He sounds disappointed, "I thought you'd be writing about the camper." See. He's a spy and incredibly nosy.

"I'll write about that later so ... go away," I push against his chest. I like his chest bare. His physio is really sculpting those pecs. He puts his hands up like he's typing, I realize he's going to make fun of me.

"Stupid piece of crap camper, I can't believe Corey bought that thing," For the record, I don't sound like that.

"I won't write that," I shake my head and laugh, allowing a brief moment to think of the old camper on the front lawn. He walks out of the room and I turn back to my screen. Except now I'm no longer thinking of typing ... or farm town, or facebook ... just how funny my husband is. I like funny. Funny is good.

Romance novels are a great way to get inspiration. Life is about creating your own story isn't it?? Personally, I love writing and I love reading. I also love narrating ;-) Everybody gets into a rut, it's how you get out of it that's half the fun!! If you're finding that romance novels are seriously deceiving your expectations, read a different book! Trust me, you'll find one that really is realistic to you, then you realize ... hey! my life ... is a romance novel.

But, gotta go ... I'm just getting to the good part in my novel ;-)
