@joisebeth Yeah, I like old movies and tv shows, but I was actually talking about old songs.  😀  Singers like Doris Day, Dean Martin, and Judy Garland.  Do you ever listen to the old songs from our grandparents’ time?

@joisebeth Oh, please read A Wrinkle in Time! I absolutely love that book and the series. I will admit, though, that my favorite in the series is A Swiftly Tilting Planet, maybe because I read it first. They are still so good. 🙂

@valtmy Oh, and you asked if there were any romance cliches we like…I actually like practically all cliches and I love stereotypes!  So that’s a hard one. 😀

Okay.  My favorite is probably when the guy rescues the girl.  I’m fine if the girl rescues the guy sometimes, but I really like the girl who is strong emotionally, but gets into ph…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  Ooooh…very nice!  I like the feel of the pictures and coloration.  🙂

@rochellaine  That’s sounds like a great story!

@valtmy One place I have heard of that made a stalker less creepy was when Q chases Captain Janeway around in Star Trek: Voyager.  Q is an alien with strong powers and can appear and disappear at will, as well as snap his fingers and give her flowers, or whatever.  Her second-in-command is freaked out by this, because Q could obviously just ta…[Read more]

You  know you’re a writer when you silently cheer when you have to write an essay and everyone else is groaning.

You know you’re a writer when you have a whole drawer full of old notebooks.

Thanks guys for all your inputs! I have quite a few “bad romance” ideas now though I think I will need to write multiple books if I want to cover everything here.

But now I’m also thinking of presenting a “good example” of a romantic relationship in my story… This is weird to ask considering the title of this thread but are there any specific…[Read more]

@joisebeth Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

*hands you cloak and dagger* You are now an official KeePer.

You know you’re a Kapeefer when Google Chrome shows not one, but two recommendations of the KP website as the “most visited” pages:

@devastate-lasting This is so cool! I love the concept– I wish I weren’t so internet paranoid though. XD

@jess-penrose That works!

@perfectfifths, That’s really great!

@jenwriter17 So do I!  The images section contains gold!

But…I actually used a personal picture in this one.  @kaya-young If you’re interested, here’s a collage I made for my western:

@rochellaine

These are getting better and better!! 😀

@catwing I’m sorry, I don’t have much advice to give you.  I don’t really follow blogs, though I do randomly binge-read fashion blogs. 🙂 (Is binge-reading a thing like binge-watching?  Or did I just make that up?)

However, I absolutely love the format of @seekjustice ‘s blog.  It’s one of the nicest blogs I have seen.  😀

I agree with Eliz…[Read more]

@joisebeth Hello and welcome! Your novel sounds awesome! I can’t wait to read it. 😉

@valtmy Totally agree about the kissing.  That’s what I was going to say.  A timid hand-hold or hair-push-back is much more romantic to me than a sudden weird kiss.

There is one other thing I never can decide if I love or hate.  It’s when the sidekick falls in love with the heroine, but she has no eyes for anyone but the hero, so he un…[Read more]

@rochellaine  Heheh that’s great

@catwing  Haha, they sound like Time Lords

(Dr Who reference)

Ooh…wrong tag.  @joisebeth
