We can’t believe it’s the last day of #RomComMarch! It’s been such a delight learning more about your fantastic projects.

How is it going with your project? What have you learnt this month? We’d love to hear your reflections and to celebrate your amazing work!

There are only a few days left in #RomComMarch! Hopefully, you've been able to make some solid progress on your rom-com. What was your favourite part?

Even if the words haven't made it onto the page, maybe the idea crystallized, or you got the whole thing plotted!

Can you believe we’re this far into March? How did that happen?!

What are you finding most challenging about your #RomComMarch project? Where would you like to be, writing-wise?

Let us encourage you as you finish out the month!

What’s your favorite part of the writing process? What part do you just hate? Share tips and tricks to make it through the hardest parts. #RomComMarch

Where do you see your characters in ten years’ time? Twenty? What does their Happily Ever After look like?

Moana has Heihei. Rapunzel has Pascal. Who does your MC have?

Share a pic of the companion who keeps you warm while you write (or keeps you from writing!) or introduce a fur friend from your WIP. No pets allowed? Share a snippet where one of your characters is a dog or the GOAT!

Sometimes, a side character can steal every scene they’re in, making us wish they had their own novel (or giving us inspiration for a sequel!). Who’s your favourite side character, and did they/will they get their own happy ending?

Let’s talk pacing!

Some romances jump right to butterflies the first time the characters meet, and some make us wait literal books until the characters hold hands.

Does your #RomComMarch project dive into kisses, or are there pages and pages of pining? Which do you prefer?
March 17, 2025 at 5:00 AM
Make us laugh 😅

Share your favourite comedic moment, be it from your own project or your favourite rom-com!

Do you have an actor already chosen to play your MC in a movie? A gorgeous model who fits your LI to a T? Art that captures them exactly?

Fancast your characters so we can see them, too! #RomComMarch

What would you do if your life were a rom-com? Would you be the LI, the MC, the astute bestie? Would you need a grump to match your sunshine or a himbo to match your savvy? Would you fall for your college rival or your childhood buddy? #RomComMarch

Let's talk setting 🌴 🌳 🌲

Where is your rom-com set and why? What’s your favorite setting — a city, a small town, somewhere you’ve lived, or a vacation destination? Is your setting a dreamy backdrop or almost a character? #RomComMarch

Share your favourite rom-com (book or movie!) and why it’s your fave. What makes it shine?

Because our TBR piles aren’t tall enough 😬😬

(Please note: it’s fine to plug your own published works!)

What're your favorite rom-com tropes? Which ones will you be including?

Let’s jump into one bed, meet the grump to our sunshine, fake date our childhood bestie while a fish out of water, all while in forced proximity to a secret royal!

Which song best matches your rom-com’s vibes? Share the music you imagine playing at a key moment, or your entire playlist (Spotify links welcome!).

We can't wait to “hear” your picks! #RomComMarch

#RomComMarch is HERE 💕

To celebrate, share the inspiration behind the project you’ll be working on this month.
March 1, 2025 at 5:00 AM
It's ALMOST HERE!

Tell us what you're most excited about for #RomComMarch!

Maybe starting a new project? Tropes galore? Making new writer friends?
February 28, 2025 at 5:00 AM
Our first #RomComMarch prompt is here!

Share a moodboard, aesthetic, or even phrases that give the vibes of your project. We can't wait to fall in love with all your books 💕

Accessibility is important, so remember to include ALT Text!

#RomComMarch was founded in 2022 by @belindamgrant and @JLew100 as motivation to work on their rom-coms.

Since then, the community has grown, welcoming all writers to spend the month planning, drafting, or editing their rom-coms — and to make new friends!

Join us starting tomorrow!
February 25, 2025 at 3:00 PM
#RomComMarch is nearly here! Come join the fun 😃

Activities! Our first prompt will be on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.

Prompts will drop every second day so we'll still have plenty of time for our projects.

Don’t forget to tag your posts with #RomComMarch so we can find you!

A phenomenal guide to ALT Text!
I have low vision and I rely on alt text and image descriptions to provide context about images on platforms like BlueSky. If you don’t know how to write #AltText yet, I have several guides on my website that can show you how— take the #AltTextChallenge! veroniiiica.com/how-to-write... (1/10)
