The truth is, I don't know a thing about romance. I really should have done more research on this subject. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 2024, writing was my mental therapy. I poured over 70,000 words into what I hoped would become a romance novel-thirteen stories filled with longing, connection, and the magic of possibility. Thirteen stories to release monthly, throughout the 2025 year. But this project started to feel like a burden, a ball and chain I was carrying around, refusing to let go and accept it for what it was. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI tried. But the truth is, I never knew romance. I never even read a romance novel. Who was I to think I could write one? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOf those thirteen stories, only three survived. The rest? I had to let them go. Not because I wanted to, but because I had to. Not every story has an ending; some just stop. Revisiting these characters and plots I was once so excited about only brings me sadness now. And many of the ideas weren't even fully mine. Continuing them doesn't feel right.\u003cbr\u003eI wasn't built for love stories. I was built for endings. And maybe I should have seen this one coming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M. R.
