Hi all! I'm diving back into writing romance after about ten years away from it, and about seven years away from writing at all.

What would you say is the difference between writing romance vs. fiction with romantic elements?

In my current project, at the moment I'm more focused on and excited about the external plot than the romance. Granted, it's very early in the process, but it's making me think.

How plot-driven are your works vs. character-driven?

I am a singer (primarily barbershop at this time but I have classical training) and a writer. In my current project, one of my characters is working on a masters degree in vocal performance. I would love to find someone (or someones) who would be willing to talk to me about their experiences as a student, things like the academic culture, course work etc. I realized I have a lot of barbershop-related resources, but not so much in the classical world!

Thanks!
