Decide What to Keep: The Romantasy Novel Workbook
The Full Draft-to-Done Bundle
You don't have a chemistry problem. You have a love story and a world that run on separate tracks.
Every romantasy writer knows the feeling. Two leads with undeniable pull, and a magic system that just sits in the background while they fall for each other. A world big enough for a series that gets away from you the moment you plan book two.
You don't need more inspiration. You need a system that helps you decide what to keep, and shows you exactly how the love story and the world hold each other up, beat by beat.
Decide What to Keep: The Romantasy Novel Workbook is a complete, 283-page romantasy novel-building system that walks you the whole way, from wonder to devotion.
This isn't a thin journal. It's 283 pages of guided development.
What's inside:
The braid: a full love-story craft section that ties the romance to your magic at every step, from the meet and the bond to the charged scene, the grovel, and the earned vow
A dual-arc beat map: eight romance beats on one arc with the world, so the love and the stakes rise and break together
An intimacy scale you control: choose how far each scene goes, from closed door to open door to explicit, and map it chapter by chapter so it builds with the romance
A trope menu: name the tropes you're promising and the ones you're refusing, so you're choosing your tropes, not collecting them
An ending you lock early: happily ever after or happy for now, decided before you draft so every beat aims at it
Deep character development: full profiles for your protagonist, your love interest, and the antagonist between them, with room for the chemistry, the contradiction, and the wound each one hides
The adhesion: build the binding reason your leads can't simply walk away, an oath, a bond, a prophecy that names them both
Guided worldbuilding and series planning: develop the magic the romance must survive, then decide whether each book is a new couple on the same arc or one couple across a longer one
A full 40-chapter outlining system: plan the whole novel, chapter by chapter, with dedicated spreads for every beat and room to extend when a series runs long
A pressure test, a "Stuck?" rescue guide, and a glossary: stress-test the story before you draft, get unstuck where most writers quit, and keep every craft term defined in one place
Why writers choose this workbook:
Built for romantasy, not generic romance or generic fantasy: the magic and the love story need each other
One braided arc instead of two separate ones: most workbooks treat romance and world as different jobs; this ties them to one beat map
Series-ready: romantasy tends to live in series, and this gives space to plan the shape across books, not just one
Whether it's your first fated-mates standalone or the series you've carried for years, this takes you from the first spark of chemistry to the last earned vow, and gives you the confidence to decide what to keep.
Perfect for: first-time romantasy authors, romance writers adding magic, fantasy writers adding a love story, NaNoWriMo planners, pantsers learning the beats, and anyone whose series is starting to sprawl.
283 pages. One complete system. Everything you need to build the romantasy novel only you can write.
