Writing a well-structured romance isn't the same as writing any other genre - something the popular novel and screenwriting guides don't address. The romance arc is made up of its own story beats, and the external plot and theme need to be braided to the romance arc - not the other way around.

Meanwhile, one in forty men and women suffers from Alzheimer's, and the age of onset is falling rapidly. But the causes arenot being eliminated, quite the opposite. Can this just be coincidence?
