Writing a good romance novel is not an easy task. You need a lot of patience and will power to understand the characters and plot and then relate the story in your own words. Having just an idea is not enough for writing a romance novel, you need to have the passion and the determination to create something exceptional and worth reading.

So, now let me discuss some things with you that you need to consider while writing a romance novel.

1. Choose your sub-genre
Before you get down to really writing the romance novel, you should first choose the sub-genre. You can choose from romance suspense, thriller, supernatural, exotica, regency, and mystery or vampire romance. But for each particular novel the plot, characters and the tone of the novels should be completely different.

2. Do some background research
If you have never read a romance novel, then before writing one, you should first do a little background research on this subject. Try to read novels of different sub-genres; this would really help you in writing the particular novel that is on your mind.

3. Figure out the plot
The plot is the most important thing in a novel. Unless and until your plot is original and interesting, no one would buy your novels. You can take idea from other romance novels, but never try to copy the work of other well known writers, because you will get caught.

4. Use original material
One very important thing you need to remember is that 90% of romance novel readers are women. For this reason nearly all romance novels are told from the perspective of a female heroine. Give details in which females would be interested in like the clothing styles and home decor.

5. Portray strong characters
Your characters should really be strong. The central character in most of the romance novels is a woman. After you have thought about the central characters, give then a unique name and personality. You should also describe about their physical features.

6. Include love scenes and conflict
Most of the romance novels have well developed love scenes and conflicts. Make sure the love scenes fit into the story, that they happen at the right time and that the characters act consistently. The emotional conflict is a strong part of the appeal of many romances. Try to create strong emotional tension that drives your lovers apart.

7. Give a happy ending to your novel
Romance novels can be best described for their happy endings. The main characters usually end up together, no matter what the obstacles had been, they are all overcome in the end.

These are some simple yet effective ways by following which you can easily write a romance novel.
