I've been rolling around on the floor making awkward groaning noises for the last four hours while I try and plot out my first proper romance novel. There could not be better time for this!
THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!!! You can do this!😀😂
I’m a beginner and I’m struggling with a outline. But no any more. I’m so excited I can wait to get moving. Thank you so so much.
Yay Vanessa! Thank you so much for your awesome comment -- you made my day!
I could not use that beat sheet more in my life than right now, lol. I just, I love it. I love you. I think you are fabulous! 📝💜🍎
Yay! I'm so glad the timing worked out perfectly for you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH QUEEN! you've helped me so much with my romance novel I'm so excited to publish it one day!
YAYYYY! You just made my week! :-) 💙💙💙
Great video but the music is distracting and makes it hard to understand what you're saying.
Thanks for letting me know!
You are welcome. I think what you have to say is so valuable (and you have a nice voice) no music is really necessary. Plus, you have those entertaining little breaks with the movie clips. Simple is better?
This is such a helpful video! Love the examples you use, they do a great job of illustrating your points! :)
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for the video! I usually use the 3 Act Story Structure (well like half cause I also like to pants some things, but I enjoy having at least a rough outline with some key moments written / ideas that won't leave my brain alone), but I was really struggling with doing with a romance story as I'm usually a fantasy / sci-fi kind of gal with drops of romance thrown in.
For my own reference (or whoever else wants/needs):
1:09 Meet Cute
3:32 Rejection of Love
4:42 Give This A Chance
5:31 Three Dates & A Disaster
6:45 Temporarily Together
7:24 Falling For You
8:45 The Breakup
10:20 The Sacrifice
11:36 The Big Declaration
13:45 The Happily Ever After
You’re so welcome!
I loved this video with all the examples! Love a good romance novel!
Thanks so much, Joey! 😀 Me too!
Between you and Carrow, I’m wanting to try my hand at something romance oriented at some point. I’ll figure out something that hopefully won’t be entirely off brand...but the beats are intriguing!
So helpful and entertaining. Thank you!
Sharon, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Loved the movie choices for examples. Very useful video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! You're so welcome!!
This is amazing! And just what I needed.
Aw, thanks so much! I'm so glad it helped!
@@BestsellingAuthorLisaDaily Could you give me some tips on if I want it to be a paranormal erotica romance...so way more sizzle, magic and vampires lol. This would be fantastic.
Great tips. I love your office. Thank you so much for your advice. I'll be sharing this video with friends. Happy writing!
Aw, thank you so much KL! Apologies if I've responded to this twice -- I replied earlier, but YT is showing no reply. :-(. Happy writing to you also!
@@BestsellingAuthorLisaDaily Don't worry about it. Again, thank you so much. I'm learning a lot.
This was very educational. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure, Dal!! 😀
Thank you
Thank you this is helpful I'm planning to write a historical contemporary romance novel its going to take place in the early 90s in flashbacks and 2019 its about these two people one is from Yorkshire UK and the other is from Toronto they actually met in Yorkshire so it's a combination of Romeo And Juliet and The Notebook lol set on a beach 😊😁
I'm always a fan of romances set at the beach! 💙
love frm india.. so nicely explained.. thanks lisa
My pleasure 😊
OMG, couldnt wait for this video!!! These tips will def help with my Quarantined With story. Wouldnt mind dabbling in romance... could you find success when your own love life is tragic 😂😂
Great video, Lisa!!! Cant wait to get Single-Minded, it sounds awesome!! And Pride & Prejudice is my guilty pleasure (Ive seen every version, even the zombies one!).
@Sio Savy! I'm so glad you liked it! Pride & Prejudice is one of my all-time favorites as well! I liked the Zombie book, but the movie ticked me off because they CHANGED some of the best lines of dialogue. You don't mess with Jane Austen, right? The answer to your question, can you find success in romance when your own love life is tragic??? YES!!! Plenty of writers have! 😂 The great thing about being a writer is that if you can't find your dream girl or dream guy, you can just create one from scratch. 😂😂😂 #bookboyfriendsrule 💙
Thank you so much for this it really helps.
Difficult one here can you help at all? I have a romance trilogy here so the whole act structure makes sense across the whole 3 books however it's about book 1
Book one needs to end with a dark moment (so I feel anyway)
She's run away (as is typical for her character flaw) after finding out he's been keeping a secret from her. She is adamant that he was only with her because he had something to be gained for his police case , but despite this actually being his original plan, he genuinely fell in love with her and is gutted that she has called it off. He wants to explain and they agree to meet in a neutral spot to talk because despite everything, she doesn't want to be without him.
Of course that doesn't go ahead because something happens to him that stops him getting there in time. She leaves the restaurant adamant that it's over but the reader can see what has happened to the police officer and should (if I do a good job) feel sorry for him.
Is it okay to leave it there? Will my readers likely be annoyed or wanting to buy the next book?
I planned to have book 2 with her eating ice cream and not getting out of her pj's for day or two and him banging on the door.
It's only when she opens the door and sees his face that she realises that he might be telling the truth so with any luck readers will get a sense of wanting them to be together.
Such a good question, Gemma! What kind of release schedule are you planning for the trilogy? My answer depends on what you're planning :-)
@@BestsellingAuthorLisaDaily as a reader I hate having to wait for the next book so preferably I'd like write them all at once and then release all together.
The other reason is because I have had this novel in my head for a little under 7 years and I don't want to put any unnecessary pressure on myself.
So in short. They'll all be released together around the spring of 2022- all being well.
You’re so cute omg 😅 I love this video
Day made. 💙😂 Thank you so much for the awesome compliment!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thank you for sharing your wisdom in the video. Really appreciate you making this video. With that said, on the downside, I found the music distracting. For me, it took away from your lesson.
Thanks for letting me know!
I like your aspiration to help us be better filmmakers. The music louder than your audio. Get a pro mic or turn your audio levels up. I look forward to more videos from you
Hey @Tommie Green! Thanks for the awesome comments, I appreciate the kind words and the feedback. This is one of my earlier videos and you'll be happy to know I've gotten a new Shure microphone so the audio issue should be resolved in future videos. 😀👍
i love these genre specific step by step and beat videos
Thanks RK! I'm so glad!😀
@@BestsellingAuthorLisaDaily loved the video!
Can you do a video covering inner dialogue and narration that is so important in contemporary romance? I've always been a very fast-paced writer focused on dialogue and action and this doesn't fit in romance, I don't know how to slow down and just write from my character's heads. I try and it's like nothing comes to mind.
I'd be happy to! Love this idea -- I'm in production now for season 2, and that would be a great addition. Be sure to hit subscribe and ding the notifications bell so you'll be notified when it goes live. I'd set a reminder to tag you but unfortunately, I'm not that organized. 😝
How can this work for a duology or trilogy?
Would you have this structure for the whole story, but then each book also have this structure within?
I'm so close to writing my story but as a pantser I worry that I'm over talking, or saying too much too soon. This will help me to pace and get by.
Thank you so much for your help Lisa ❤
Another CHeasy office
I love that cheesy office. 😍
in a fiction novel as an author would you rather use an already existing award in your story wrongly or would you make up an award to fit your story?
Great question! I'm answering today on the livestream, but short answer is: I'd make up an award. :-)
Madam/Sir,
Greetings!
I have a complete manuscript of 3 romance short story. I am searching for a publisher who is willing to publish my work. Your response to this is highly appreciated.
Respectfully yours,

I've entered my email address twice and still not got the sheet 😞
Oh no! Check your spam folder for yt AT lisadaily DOT tv
Please make videos without the background "music" - it's so distracting. ADD here! It's very frustrating.
Unfortunately the music was so loud I quit 30 seconds in
Sorry about that!
