Of course I wouldn't know, since I don't read romance, but I somehow guess there's plenty of them? And if it's true that most romance writers are women, why on earth would they write their "heroes" that way? and have their "heroines" put up with that crap?Roberta R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18228840429799100354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-22647332802378462752019-03-25T13:54:43.753-04:002019-03-25T13:54:43.753-04:00I love Kate but tell everyone to f off and take a ...I love Kate but tell everyone to f off and take a nap! lolKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-55254736432438714032019-03-25T13:54:01.750-04:002019-03-25T13:54:01.750-04:00Seriously - if you feel unworthy and don't wan...Seriously - if you feel unworthy and don't want to change move on!<br /><br />And if you want to hop on the drama train constantly - go for it.

As far as people getting into things they say they don't want to get into. I see people do that a lot in real life (lol), and before you know it, there's unwanted drama. Hope you're doing well Karen!
