You sit down, fingers hovering over the keyboard, heart full of ideas, ready to write the next swoon-worthy romance novel.

And then… nothing.

The story is in your head, the characters are practically whispering sweet nothings to you, but somehow, that blank page just stares back, daring you to make the first move.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Many romance writers—whether first-timers or seasoned storytellers—hit this exact wall. Not because they lack ideas, but because turning those ideas into a structured, compelling romance story can feel overwhelming.

That’s where a custom outline comes in. It’s not just a roadmap—it’s your secret weapon to writing faster, with more confidence, and without the stress of getting stuck in the middle.

And if you’re thinking, But I don’t know how to outline, or I don’t have time for that, don’t worry—I’ve got you.

Why Romance Writers Get Stuck (And How to Fix It)

Writing a romance novel is more than just bringing two characters together and making sparks fly. It’s about tension, emotional arcs, and a payoff that makes readers sigh with satisfaction.

But crafting that journey? That’s where things get tricky.

Many writers get stuck because:

They’re not sure where to start.
Their plot feels too predictable—or too complicated.
They write themselves into corners, unsure how to move forward.
Their characters lack depth, or the romance arc falls flat.

A solid outline prevents all of this by giving you a clear structure. It maps out the emotional beats, the conflict, the turning points, and the resolution, so you can focus on writing instead of constantly second-guessing where your story is going.

What a Custom Outline Can Do for You

A custom romance novel outline isn’t just a generic template—it’s tailored to your story, your characters, and your unique writing style.

Here’s what you get when you work with me:

1. A Strong Story Foundation

No more guesswork. Your outline will include:

A clear beginning, middle, and end
Defined character arcs and romantic tension
Essential plot beats (Meet Cute, Conflict, Dark Moment, HEA or HFN)

This means you can jump straight into writing instead of wasting hours trying to figure out what happens next.

2. Conflict & Chemistry That Work

Great romance thrives on tension—but too little, and the story falls flat. Too much, and it feels forced. I help you craft:

Compelling internal and external conflicts
Moments that make readers root for your couple
Obstacles that feel real, not just plot devices

This keeps your story engaging from the first page to the last.

3. Character Depth & Motivation

The best romance novels aren’t just about love—they’re about growth. Your outline will ensure:

Your characters have strong, believable motivations
Their relationship develops naturally (no insta-love unless you want it!)
Their individual arcs enhance the romance, not just exist alongside it

So your couple doesn’t just end up together—they earn their happy ending.

4. A Writing Plan That Saves Time

Writing without an outline can lead to massive rewrites. With a clear plan, you:

Write faster because you know what’s next
Avoid major plot holes before they happen
Stay focused, even when life gets busy

Whether you have a few hours a week to write or you’re on a deadline, a structured outline helps maximize your writing time.

Why Work With Me?

I get it—you might be wondering, Can’t I just outline my own novel?

Of course! But if you:

Don’t have time to structure a full outline
Feel overwhelmed by plotting and pacing
Want to focus on writing, not planning

Then, having someone else handle the heavy lifting can be a game-changer.

As a romance writer and story strategist, I’ve helped countless authors turn vague ideas into fully developed romance plots that practically write themselves. I know what works, what keeps readers engaged, and how to tailor a story outline that fits your style.

This isn’t just about structure—it’s about setting you up for success so that writing feels exciting, not frustrating.
