To Marion Lennox - From the heart

Just when you thought writing a great romance novel was simply about what’s written on the pages of the book, along comes Marion Lennox.

Sure... conflict is key to a romance. So is tugging on the heartstrings and battles of conscience with the hero and the heroine. And, hey, isn’t finding your own, distinct voice what makes a writer stand out?

Marion will say ‘sure that’s all important.’ But she’ll also tell you it’s about attitude.

I now realise that the 'write attitude' means tugging on your own heartstrings, battling your own conscience and writing what’s right for you, and when you find your voice – make sure you listen to it and stay true to it. (Leave the conflict in the pages - not in you.)

Marion Lennox’s Bootcamp 109 presentation had a delightfully unexpected impact on me (and the troops). I expected to learn about craft and technique. But I loved what Marion had to say about having attitude, staying true to yourself and writing the book of your heart.
So...from everyone at Bootcamp 109...thanks for the inspiration. You’ve touched some of us more than you know!

PS I was extra lucky – I got to choose Marion’s collection of romance and recipes (Sizzle, Seduce & Simmer – a sinful sweet selection by Australia’s favouite romance authors.) I’m eager to tuck in and hungry to learn from these great authors. Delicious!
