THURSDAY THOUGHTS: ENJOY THE RIDE, LOVE THE ENDING

The subject of this posting is from a video I watched some time ago on YouTube, a love story by sponsored by Cornetto, a European manufacturer of frozen ice cream novelty treats. I rewatched the particular video (see below) again recently, and this motto was listed before the end credits.

I realized it sums up the concept of romance novels. Enjoy the ride, the ups and downs, twists and turns the story takes you on with the hero and heroine, or other variations. It is often quite a ride, and should definitely be enjoyable.

The ending, of course, should be one the reader loves, the happily-ever-after expected from a romance novel. It should make them happy, if not for themselves, at least for the story’s characters. This video does that, I think. I hope my stories will as well.
