Author Traci E. Hall Talks About Relationships

by

lovesmagic.jpgHow relationships affect my writing…well, I believe in happy ever after. I think because I’ve been married for twenty mostly happy years, lol.

I tend to observe relationships – all kinds – and try and decipher what makes them work. I’ve found that the key is having two people committed to each other, and the relationship. One person can’t do all the work, and I’m not talking about doing the dishes or laundry. I’m talking about making and keeping the commitment to one another above all else.

Compromise is huge. Not everybody gets to have their way all the time. One person isn’t always right – just like one person isn’t always wrong. But the fun part about writing is putting the hero and heroine in positions that only their blossoming love can help them overcome. Mutual respect, affection and caring grow step by step and I like to provide conflict that lets them get a little closer to the self-realization that they LOVE the other person more than the huge obstacle keeping them apart.

And writing romance, I have the added benefit of knowing that my hero and heroine will live happily ever after – it’s also challenging, because while the reader expects the happy ever after, they want to be on the edge of their seats, worrying that they might not get it!

Love…*sigh*

Traci
