I'm a self-help, make life better, improve my character, motivational junkie. I diligently download lectures and talks from scores of inspirational and enthusiastic women, who tell me how to become the best person I can be.  I listen to these in my car on the way to work, to guarantee my day starts on a positive note.  I want to make the world a better place, help society improve, and be a good person.

Part of my life's work as a massage therapist involves helping others, but I have to wonder, how does writing romance novels fit into this holistic picture? I mean, come on, romance? And erotic romance at that. Isn't this a frivolous way to spend one's time, writing and reading love stories, especially since we know what's going to happen? It's going to end happily ever after and everyone will get what they deserve. Shouldn't I be spending my time on more worthwhile endeavors, like raising money to cure cancer, or helping the homeless?
