At her book launch, someone asked her, "Hey, you write
Romance, why? Just because it sells?"
She replied, "No, I write about love, because it gives
me a hope, a satisfaction. Our lives are so crowded. Love between two people
gets lost in it. Between what is said and what is not said, most of the love is
lost."
Quick came the counter question, "So you write
idealistic love stories to create a fairyland for yourself?"
She replied calmly, "No, I write idealistic love
stories to save love. I craft stories with words cradled in love. I write love
in pages so that if someone reads them, they may discover hope of finding love.
I love to write Romance because I can inflict some small part of emotion onto
those that I don't believe feel enough. Yes, writing cheesy romance is eloping
from the present, but that is my true calling and I will forever chase it."
And they got their answers.
This is in response to Indispire, edition 82:
"Now or never..
Given a chance to elope from the present, what is your true calling that you
really want to chase?? #MyDare"
On the same note, have you read Ayn Rand novels? I would say she writes idealistic love stories.
