This is their 100th episode! Whoop whoop!
TB had a frantic start to the week due to a massive snowstorm arriving six hours early. The cowrite with Miranda MacLeod is with the editor, so TB is turning her focus to Earl’s Court, her British novella. In her free time, TB is binging Sex and the City, but she’s not sure if she’s seen it before. Is it possible TB’s memory is that bad? Also, TB can’t say the word romantic. In her world, it’s romanty.
Clare’s Hot London Nights is getting lots of love and excellent reviews. Clare is trying out a preorder, so if you’re a fan of her London series, you can preorder Big London Dreams. Not only that, it’s a historical romance. She’s trying out lots of new things in 2021. She signed a new translation contract. While TB can’t say romantic, Clare cannot stop saying: Je suis désolé, and it’s not entirely certain either of them know the true translation.
They move on to the main subject: what’s the difference between romance and romantic comedy? A listener suggested this topic, and both Clare and TB struggled to find an answer, but that doesn’t stop them from workshopping it on air. Clare strongly disagrees with opinions they found online, because that’s how she rolls. Both think writing rom-coms is difficult, but when done right, it’s so worth the effort.
What do you think the difference is between romance and rom-coms? They need serious help answering this question.
