Women's Fiction: How To Write The Scene
Women's Fiction Is A Genre That Embraces Women's Lives, Their Journeys, And Emotions.
The heroines of Women's Fiction face real-life challenges that include the ups and downs of love and betrayal, along with stories about cancer and other illnesses, family relationships, divorce, work life. The heroine need not be the only main character, and the story can cross-over to other genres and time periods. For example, you can write about a woman who resolves a murder in 19th century England or a 17th century courtesan in Italy whose journey makes her an unforgettable heroine.
Women’s fiction explores the gray areas of life; its endings, like all satisfying fiction, is resolved, life-affirming and sometimes bittersweet. Unlike genre romance, there is no requisite happy ending.
