Suggestions for Romance Novels

I just want to say I'm really enjoying the Story Bible and Sudowrite in general. It is helping me so much with crafting and editing my current WIP. And I'm excited about this Series addition as I think about the next book in my series.

May I make some suggestions?

1. Sudowrite isn't quite there with the Romance genre.

a. The "normal" story structure for romance is "Romancing the Beats" by Gwen Hayes. Sudowrite tends to use a "Save the Cat" version for story structure even for romance. It isn't wrong, but if one wants to publish traditionally, say with Harlequin, they look for "Romancing the Beats".

Note: I just tried putting "Romancing the beats" master list in the brain dump area to see if this helps. I'll let you know.

b. And a romance needs to contain most of the elements of "12 steps to intimacy" by Desmond Morris (not sure of the author) or the romance isn't believable.

2. In the Brain dump area. It would be nice to have some pre-existing boxes like: premise (allow at least 1000 words here), theme, trope, story structure, and allow for customized boxes such as you do in the Characters section.

3. In the Genre box, have a drop down that we could choose the genre we are writing in, and perhaps even a subgenre. For example, if my book is a romance novel with elements of the paranormal, the genre is a romance, and the subgenre is a paranormal. OR if my book is a paranormal with a romance subplot, the genre is paranormal or fantasy, and the subgenre is romance. OR, based on the brain dump, what genre is Sudowrite getting?

4. Finally, it would be great to have a Word Count Box — for those of us who know we need to stick to a maximum if we want to be traditionally published or the norms of the genre.

That's my $0.02 worth. Thanks for listening.
