Umm, I had all these nice things to say about your post, all along the lines of I Agree Completely, but then I was an idjit and went and read the Bookpushers post. I'll quote, shall I?
"Classical literature, for example have instances of the HEA, books like Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice are the archetypes of modern romance from the brooding heroes like Mr Rochester and Mr Darcy have inspired many modern romances. Yet they are considered to have real high brow value even though they have all the conventions of a typical romance. So why can’t a Nora Roberts book is seen to be the same value?..."
...and I ended up staring at my monitor, with my mouth hanging open, for what must've been about 3 minutes. Umm, did that person just compare Nora Roberts with BRONTE & AUSTEN?!? Y'know, I think they did... and I therefore deduce that Person Who Wrote HEA post doesn't know much about writing. At all (or more bluntly: they wouldn't know good writing if it bit them in the butt). Good grief.
And so I'll just say, I Agree With Everything You Said (and if ever the Nora Roberts fan gets a look at your work, don't mind a damn thing they say).
