People outside of the industry
love to beat up
on the romance genre.
They mock the writers.
They make fun of the books
and the covers
and the readers.
Yet romance is the top selling genre.
There are more writers making millions
a year
by writing romance
than in any other field.
One of my buddies
runs a funeral home.
People make fun of him.
They find his business distasteful.
Yet he’s offering
a much needed, lucrative service.
Another buddy is in waste disposal.
Again, this isn’t a sexy business
yet it is needed and it is profitable.
If you choose to go
into an industry
others love to hate,
accept that
this will likely never change.
You will likely always be mocked.
This is part of the price
you pay
for entering that industry.
But also know
that there is a reason
this industry exists.
It is needed.
It is important.
You will be making a difference
in the world.
