Have You Done ‘Research’ Today?

It is easy
to become lazy
with the Romance Writing.
I could tell the same story
a slightly different way
and I might keep my readers happy
…for a story or two.

Eventually, however,
they will become tired
of these same stories
and I will lose them
as customers.

I don’t want that.
So I strive to keep
my stories original.

One of the benchmarks
I have
for how creative and fresh
a story might be
is how much research
I completed in order
to write it.

If I’m learning something new
and incorporating
that something new
into my stories,
the stories will become
something new also.

This applies
to a variety of products and services.
If you complete research
while designing them
and incorporate this research
into their design,
they will be different
from the products/services
you previously offered.
