0:00Hello and welcome to another genre

0:02guide. Today we're going over a big one

0:04and that is contemporary romance. So

0:07this basically your typical romance.

0:09There are various variations of

0:11contemporary romance, but most romances

0:14these days are either contemporary or

0:17historical. And so today we're covering

0:18contemporary and you can really take a

0:20lot of what I'm going to talk about in

0:22this video and adapt it to a variety of

0:25the different subg genres within

0:27contemporary romance. Now, in case

0:28you're wondering like what is this guy

0:30doing talking about romance? It doesn't

0:32look like he's a romance writer. That's

0:34correct. I created this via a

0:36collaboration by doing a lot of reading

0:38on the subject cuz I'm like super nerdy

0:40about genre and figuring out all of the

0:42tropes and things as well as uh actually

0:45doing an AI analysis of actual

0:48bestsellers in the genre. So, between

0:50those two things and uh and literally

0:52we're talking like a chapter by chapter

0:54analysis, not just a like tell me about

0:56this book kind of uh lazy prompting uh

0:59I've got a whole system set in place to

1:01to do this analysis and it allows me to

1:04get some pretty interesting insights on

1:06the genre. So, with that in mind, let's

1:08go into some of the tropes. So, I've

1:10split this into major tropes and common

1:13tropes. And the major ones are the ones

1:15that if you miss too many of these,

1:17readers will likely have an issue with

1:20the book. Um although not all of these

1:23are necessarily found in every

1:24contemporary romance. They're just some

1:27of the most common. So first we have

1:29forced proximity. And this kind of goes

1:31along with the enemies to lover lovers

1:33or the grumpy sunshine down here. But

1:35this is where our characters for

1:37whatever reason are forced to interact

1:39uh within the confines of the story

1:42often uh in ways that like they wouldn't

1:44necessarily interact under normal

1:46circumstances but because of the forced

1:48proximity they are forced to do so uh

1:52and that leads to the romance. A slow

1:54burn romance is also very common. Uh the

1:56emotional and physical relationship

1:57develops at an agonizingly slow pace.

2:00This is great for just establishing

2:02tension. It relies on extended pining,

2:04near misses, and gradual trust building

2:06rather than immediate consum

2:07consummation. Uh, of course, the

2:09possible exception to this is if you

2:11have the trope of um instant love or

2:13insta love as it's often called. Um, but

2:16I'd say yeah, typically you're going to

2:18have the romance sort of develop over

2:20the course of the entire novel. Uh,

2:22found family is next. This one's very

2:24common in u most genres of romance uh

2:28where the protagonist makes uh very

2:30strong relationships not with not just

2:33with the uh romantic partner but also

2:36with other people. Uh the uh there's a

2:39wounded or damaged hero or heroine where

2:41the protagonists carry significant

2:43emotional baggage usually past trauma or

2:46professional insecurity. Uh this is very

2:49common and one of the sort of sub themes

2:51of romance besides just the theme of

2:54love conquering all is this idea that

2:57the protagonist uh usually finds in the

3:00romance in the relationship some kind of

3:02empowerment that helps them overcome

3:05this uh deep wound. Then we get Grumpy

3:07Sunshine where one character is

3:09emotionally guarded the other one is

3:11happy golucky and they kind of like uh

3:13compliment each other in hilarious ways.

3:15Uh there's the enemies to lovers or the

3:18reluctant partnership. Now, I actually

3:20have a whole guide that I've that I'm

3:22working on for enemies to lovers

3:24specifically because it's such a common

3:26trope. Um but this is something you'll

3:29see in a lot of romances. And then

3:30there's healing through love. And I sort

3:32of talked about this earlier with the

3:34trauma, but uh the narrative arc

3:36explicitly demonstrates that personal

3:38trauma or emotional shutdown can be

3:40reversed through the consistent presence

3:41of a supportive partner. It emphasizes

3:43the transformative power of

3:44unconditional love. We got the mistaken

3:46identity and the community communication

3:49crisis. This goes all the way back to

3:51Jane Austin, right? Uh there's some kind

3:53of communication mishap. This is my

3:56wife's biggest pet peeve with most

3:59romances today is that there's so many

4:01communication crisis that could have

4:03been avoided if you just had a

4:05conversation. But you know, there it is.

4:07So those are the the the major tropes.

4:09Now, some of the more common ones is a

4:11fake dating or transactional arrangement

4:14where the characters sort of like uh

4:16just have to pretend that they're dating

4:18for whatever reason. There's some kind

4:20of grand gesture uh that might happen.

4:24There's often a protective or possessive

4:26love interest. This is especially true

4:28of other subg genres of romance uh such

4:30as like mafia romance or alpha male

4:33romance. Uh but you definitely see that

4:35in general. There might be some

4:36childhood friends reunited. So, this can

4:38go with the friends to lovers thing. Um,

4:41and there's usually some mentorship or

4:43tutor romance. One character possesses a

4:46specific professional or academic

4:47expertise that forces them into a guide

4:50role. Uh, this could be part of that um

4:53uh that forced proximity here earlier.

4:56And there's often a meddling matchmaker,

4:58which could be a well-intentioned

5:00friend, family member, or community

5:01figure. They could be a hidden wealth or

5:03class disparity. And uh often second

5:06chance romance is another trope that

5:08shows up where the characters actually

5:10had tried before to be uh more than

5:13friends and it didn't work out and now

5:14they're looking to to go up again. Um

5:18and it doesn't actually have to be with

5:20the same characters either. Like they

5:21could have had a really traumatic

5:23relationship in the past and they just

5:24sort of swore off all relationships and

5:27that could be what Second Chance is in

5:28this case. Um, so there's that. And then

5:31I do have more fleshed out explanations

5:33for each one of these, uh, all in the

5:36book that I've assembled for this. And,

5:39uh, by the way, you can get this book on

5:41Amazon for, I think, $5. Uh, but I

5:43actually don't recommend you get it that

5:44way because you can get them all,

5:46including all of my other genre guides,

5:49uh, at no extra cost when you join Story

5:51Hacker AI, which I will have a link a

5:54link to down below. We also have all of

5:56these genres fully integrated into my uh

6:00recently announced tool story hacker OS

6:02so that you can actually use AI to to uh

6:06make a contemporary romance that fits

6:07all the tropes and does all the things

6:09and then all you have to do is bring in

6:11your unique flare to make it unique. So

6:14that's uh one of the cool things about

6:15it. You can check that out again down

6:17below if you're interested. All right,

6:18so now let's get to my favorite part

6:20which is the plot template. So, here is

6:22where I take the average number of

6:24chapters of all of the books that I

6:26analyzed. And the books that I analyze

6:27are all mega bestsellers usually in the

6:30particular genre. They're all doing

6:32exceptionally well. So, we have some

6:33kind of verification that these tropes

6:36work. And in this case, that average was

6:38actually 48 chapters, which sounds like

6:40a lot, but I found that romance tends to

6:42have shorter chapters. So, uh we'll keep

6:45that in mind as we go through this. I'm

6:47going to briefly go through each of

6:48these. I won't spend too much time on

6:50any one of them. You can of course take

6:52a look at the the full guide either by

6:54buying it on Amazon uh or getting it

6:57through the membership. Uh but hopefully

6:58this will give you a good overview of

7:00what we got here. So we start with the

7:01chaotic normal open by immersing the

7:03reader in the protagonist warm chaotic

7:05slightly disordered world establishing

7:08her as someone defined by either

7:09relentless warmth or guarded self-p

7:11protection. So she's she's got an

7:13ordinary world but it's chaotic. Then we

7:15get the dream and the threat. This

7:16shifts focus to the protagonist's deeply

7:18personal ambition which could be a

7:20business, a creative passion or a

7:21professional calling that carries

7:22profound emotional significance. So

7:24there's something that they want, right?

7:26Something they want very badly. Uh then

7:29we get the love interest wound. So we

7:31pivot to the love interest perspective

7:32for the first time. Uh very often

7:34romance books will be written as a

7:36two-part perspective. So you'll switch

7:38between them and you can even have

7:40firsterson perspective for both of them.

7:42That's one of the few instances where

7:43that is, you know, allowed, right? Pivot

7:46to the love interest perspective for the

7:48first time, revealing the carefully

7:49constructed walls he has built and the

7:51trauma or pressure that keeps him

7:52emotionally distant, right? So, we move

7:54to him and then we get the inciting

7:57crisis. Deliver the full force of the

7:58inciting incident from the protagonist

8:00perspective, a catastrophic

8:01miscommunication, financial disaster, or

8:03an institutional betrayal that strips

8:04her away her sense of security and makes

8:06her dream impossible. Then there's the

8:08refusal. Both protagonists actively

8:10attempt to solve their crisis through

8:11conventional means while avoiding the

8:13obvious solution, each other. There's

8:15chapter six, the failed alternative. The

8:17protagonist's last conventional option

8:18collapses, leaving her cornered and

8:20forcing her to seriously consider the un

8:22unthinkable. Use a comedic or

8:24humiliating uh sequence like a botched

8:26pitch, a disastrous meeting, a

8:27mortifying online meetup mixup that

8:29demonstrates her resourcefulness even as

8:31it deepens her predicament. Then we get

8:33the intrusion. The love interest invades

8:35the protagonist space or world, her

8:37workplace, her home, her community.

8:38demonstrating that he has gathered

8:40information about her and is willing to

8:42cross boundaries to secure her

8:43cooperation, whatever that may be. Then

8:45we get the failed schemes where the love

8:47interest and his comic relief ally

8:49deploy a series of increasingly

8:50ridiculous schemes to manufacture

8:52connection with the resistant

8:53protagonist. So, he's smitten or

8:57potentially so, and uh and she's she's

8:59got too much on her mind at this point.

9:01Chapter nine is the glimpse beneath. The

9:04circumstance forces the protagonist and

9:06love interest into closer, more

9:07sustained proximity, allowing the

9:09protagonist to witness an unexpected

9:10dimension of the love interest, which

9:12could be genuine competence or hidden

9:14kindness or a private vulnerability he

9:16never displays publicly. Uh, by the way,

9:18um, should also note that the two met

9:21early on uh, in those first chapters.

9:24Uh, so they get right into the the meat

9:27of the story. Then we get chapter 10,

9:29the public test. plays a protagonist in

9:31a highstakes public or social setting

9:32where she attempts her to advance her

9:34dream or her original romantic goal with

9:37the love interest present as an

9:38unwelcome complication. So, she's still

9:40like focused on this big thing and yet

9:43she's being distracted by the love

9:44interest. Chapter 11 is the negotiation.

9:46So, we confine the protagonist and love

9:48interest together in an intimate

9:49inescapable space like a car, a small

9:52room or a late night setting where the

9:53love interest deploys psychological

9:55tactics to wear down her resistance.

9:57Chapter 12 is the deal struck. The

9:59arrangement is formally agreed upon,

10:00often with the comic relief ally

10:02aggressively negotiating terms on the

10:04protagonist behalf to remove her ability

10:06to refuse what she secretly wants.

10:08Chapter 13 is the new normal. The

10:09protagonist enters the love interest

10:11world or routine for the first time

10:12under the terms of the arrangement,

10:14encountering his found family household,

10:16a chaotic, good-natured ensemble who

10:17reacts to her with a comic absurdity.

10:19Revealed that the love interest is more

10:21than his public persona suggests, more

10:22competent, more thoughtful, and more

10:24capable of genuine focus than the

10:25protagonist expected. So, we're starting

10:27to open up those boundaries there. Uh,

10:29and speaking of boundaries, chapter 14

10:31is boundary testing. The protagonist

10:33settles into a rhythm of their

10:34arrangement with bickering, teasing, and

10:36rule testing functioning as an emotional

10:37shortorthhand for the attraction neither

10:39will acknowledge. Chapter 15 is the

10:40unguarded performance. The protagonist

10:42arrives in a state of emotional

10:44agitation caused by a setback in her B

10:46story. This could be professional

10:47sabotage, family pressure, and her

10:49distress disrupts arrangements uh the

10:52arrangement's usual rhythm. So, nothing

10:54is easy at this point. point. Then we

10:56get the first pinch point which is one

10:58of those more universal plot points. An

11:00outside force applies sudden pressure to

11:02the protagonist like a jealous ex, a

11:04manipulative rival, a toxic family

11:05member, etc. The mentor gives a warning,

11:08introduce a deep and wise elder, mentor,

11:10maternal paternal figure who offers the

11:12protagonist crucial perspective. Either

11:14contacts that humanizes the love

11:16interest damage or a cautionary warning

11:18that he is broken or carries an

11:19unresolved wound. Chapter 18 is a

11:21protective intervention. A social

11:23gathering or community event becomes a

11:24setting for a threat from outside the

11:26central relationship. Chapter 19 is late

11:28night confessions. Oo. So circumstance

11:31keeps the protagonist and the love

11:33interest together late into the night

11:35stripping away their person public

11:36personas through extended honest

11:38conversation. And this is like one of

11:40the first uh physical moments although

11:42nonsexual at this point but uh we do

11:44have a slightly increased spice level

11:46here of 3 out of 10. Chapter 20 is the

11:48love interest's reckoning. So here we

11:50go. shift fully to the love interest

11:52perspective to confirm that his feelings

11:54have outpaced the arrangement. He once

11:55again he's smitten. Chapter 21 is the

11:57charge the charged almost a shared

12:01activity like a recreational outing, a

12:03competitive game, a physically demanding

12:05task functions as displacement for

12:07unresolved sexual tension. Uh and then

12:09chapter 22, we get the first kiss. The

12:11accumulated tension finally breaks into

12:13the first genuine mutually acknowledged

12:16kiss, often triggered by a small

12:18specific detail or an irresistible

12:20moment rather than a planned seduction.

12:21That leads to the breakthrough in

12:23chapter 23. Following the kiss and a

12:25period of charged uncertainty, the

12:27physical and emotional dams fully break.

12:29So, this is a moment of physical

12:30intimacy. Spice level is at 8 out of 10.

12:33Of course, if you're writing cleaner

12:35romance, then you would uh pull this

12:38back considerably. It would probably be

12:40something uh a little bit uh less

12:42physical like saying I love you for the

12:44first time or something like that. So

12:45you'd have to adjust this depending on

12:47your specific variety. Uh but there you

12:50go. Chapter 24, the renegotiated rules.

12:52The morning after the breakthrough,

12:54instead of admitting their true

12:55feelings, the protagonist renegotiate

12:56the rules of their arrangement to

12:58accommodate intimacy under the guise of

12:59it being temporary, casual, or strictly

13:01secret. But chapter 25 is the false

13:03paradise. enter the honeymoon phase of

13:05the relationship characterized by

13:06domestic ease, mundane joys, and quiet

13:09intimacy that demonstrates compatibility

13:11outside of dramatic moments. Chapter 26

13:13is inter integration into the found

13:15family. The protagonist is fully drawn

13:16into the love interest, found family or

13:18community. Chapter 27, the quiet

13:20devotion revealed where the protagonist

13:22discovers through an unexpected source

13:24or a recontextualizing uh revelation the

13:27full pattern of the love interests

13:28hidden gestures of care. Uh, so this

13:30could be small accumulated acts of

13:32devotion she had previously dismissed as

13:34incidental. But then we get to the

13:36protagonist wound. A trigger, an

13:38encounter from her past, a cutting

13:39comment, an intimate moment that goes

13:41wrong, forces the protagonist to

13:42confront and begin to articulate her

13:44deepest core wound, whether trauma,

13:45shame, loss, or fundamental belief that

13:47she is broken or unworthy. This is where

13:49that u past trauma rears its ugly head.

13:52Chapter 29 is the love interest wound.

13:54In parallel and reciprocal disclosure,

13:56the love interest reveals for the first

13:58time, often to anyone, the full truth of

14:00his deepest trauma, whether childhood

14:01abuse, a catastrophic loss, a survivor's

14:03guilt, or defining betrayal. So, he's

14:05also got some baggage. And having now

14:08shared this baggage, the both of them,

14:11we move into the healing step. Build

14:13directly on the mutual disclosures with

14:15a scene in which the love interest helps

14:17the protagonist take a concrete step

14:19towards healing the specific wound she

14:21revealed. And then chapter 31 is the

14:23shrinking bubble. The outside world

14:25begins to intrude on the insulated

14:26sanctuary with the secret or casual

14:28status of the relationship creating

14:30mounting tension. Stage a series of

14:32close calls with discovery uh comedic

14:35near misses or anxietyinducing

14:36inferences that demonstrate the

14:38concealment cannot hold much longer.

14:40Introduce or escalate pressure around

14:42the impending end date of the

14:44arrangement. All right, so not not

14:46looking a little dangerous. Then we get

14:48the antagonist world. So, here we shift

14:50perspectives to eliminate the

14:52antagonist's environment and psychology,

14:54whether a toxic parental figure, a

14:56predatory criminal, or a manipulative

14:58rival. Chapter 33 is the claiming, a

15:01moment of public or semi-public exposure

15:03forces the relationship out of secrecy,

15:05or the love interest takes a decisive

15:06action that stakes a claim and confronts

15:08the secondary antagonist or rival

15:10directly. So, this is essentially where

15:12the the love interest says, "No, like

15:15this uh this is a thing right now."

15:18Chapter 34 is the last good moment.

15:20Stack multiple life triumphs into a

15:22sustained emotional high, a professional

15:23milestone, a found family celebration, a

15:25formal claiming of the arrangement, an

15:27intimate peak, etc. And then 35, we get

15:30the backstory detonation. Deliver the

15:32most complete revelation of the love

15:34interest traumatic origin or the full

15:36scope of the external threat,

15:37recontextualizing the entire story to

15:39date. Use a flashback, a confessional

15:41disclosure, or a third party account to

15:43lay bear exactly what broke the love

15:44interest. So, we're digging deeper into

15:46that. That leads directly into the

15:48second pinch point. Another pretty

15:50universal plot point here. The

15:52antagonist discovers their leverage and

15:54executes a calculated attack on their

15:56relationship. This could be a methodical

15:58ultimatum, a targeted threat against

16:00someone the protagonist loves, or a

16:02manipulation designed to exploit the

16:03protagonist's deepest insecurity that

16:05leads to a trigger, an external crisis

16:07erupts, a moment of danger, a triggered

16:09trauma response, or a confrontation with

16:12the antagonist that forces one or both

16:14characters into their worst, most

16:15defensive behavior. This is kind of

16:17where things are getting out of control

16:19and of course that leads to the all is

16:20lost moment where the relationship

16:22ruptures fully though the protagonist

16:24false sacrifice breakup to protect the

16:26love interest the love interest's

16:28griefdriven cruelty and withdrawal or a

16:30maliciously terminated arrangement. So

16:32essentially they break up for whatever

16:35reason uh although they're not too happy

16:38about it deep down and that leads to

16:40chapter 30 39 the antagonist reckoning.

16:43resolve the antagonist arc through a

16:45confrontation that removes them

16:46permanently from the narrative, whatever

16:47that might be. So that's kind of our uh

16:50our first climax there. Then we get the

16:52hollow victory where the protagonist

16:54achieves a significant be story or

16:56personal victory, the dream realized,

16:58the milestone reached, the recognition

17:00earned, but it feels entirely hollow

17:01without the love interest. Chapter 41 is

17:04the love interest's rock bottom. shift

17:06to the love interest in the aftermath of

17:07the rupture, showing him at his most

17:09emotionally destroyed, isolated, drunk,

17:12or unable to function, confronting the

17:13full weight of what he has done or or

17:15what he's lost or done. So, he's not

17:17doing well. There might be one character

17:19attempts to repair the situation through

17:21their old insufficient methods like the

17:22love interest pursuing through

17:23explanation, persistence, or grand but

17:25empty gestures, or the protagonist

17:27maintaining the fiction of the false

17:28sacrifice. But in chapter 43, we get the

17:30pep talk. The found family or a mentor

17:33figure intervenes aggressively. So

17:35there's like an intervention here.

17:36Delivers the truth or the perspective

17:38the suffering character most needs to

17:39move toward resolution. Chapter 44 is

17:42the decisive action. The transformed

17:43character takes a decisive concrete

17:45action that proves that they have begun

17:47to overcome their core flaw. That leads

17:49to a grand gesture. Deliver the romantic

17:51climax through a grand gesture that

17:53actively proves behavioral change rather

17:55than merely professing love. Cuz they've

17:57professed a lot of love throughout the

17:59whole book. This has to be showing not

18:01telling, right? A public confession that

18:02inverts the character's opening

18:04position. a meaningful act exe executed

18:06on the other's behalf or a discovery of

18:08accumulated proof of devotion that

18:09bypasses the wounds character's

18:11defenses. Chapter 46 is the reunion. The

18:13characters fully reconcile moving

18:15through a confession to honest

18:17declaration as the final truths are

18:18spoken. Chapter 47 is the new

18:20foundation. In the immediate aftermath

18:21of reconciliation, the characters

18:23establish their new authentic

18:24equilibrium, navigating the practical

18:26realities of building a relationship

18:28without deals, rules, or secrets.

18:30Resolve any lingering threads. The comic

18:32relief's allies arc. the secondary

18:33antagonist diminishment, a final

18:35reckoning with a toxic figure who's now

18:37cut off and powerless. And finally,

18:39chapter 48, the duma deliver a time jump

18:43epilog weeks or months later that shows

18:45the full payoff of the story's emotional

18:47and thematic work with both characters

18:49integrated into community, family, and

18:51authentic daily life. So things are

18:53finally looking up and we have our

18:55happily ever after, which by the way,

18:56this wasn't mentioned in the tropes, I

18:58think, because it's obvious, but happily

19:00ever after is absolutely a requirement

19:03for this and most romance genres. If it

19:07doesn't happen, then you're actually not

19:08writing romance. You're writing like

19:09women's fiction or some other genre. All

19:11right, so that is the full plot

19:13breakdown. Uh let's just quickly go

19:15through some of the other things that

19:16are in this guide. Uh I like to go

19:17through the characters, uh the different

19:20character archetypes. So, we have first

19:21the reluctant protagonist. She usually

19:24isn't too happy about getting swept up

19:26in this whole thing, at least at first.

19:28There's the wounded love interest. Uh,

19:31so the usually silent, brooding type,

19:33right? You know, that's stereotypically.

19:35He's got some kind of past trauma. The

19:37alternative love interest. So, usually

19:39some kind of rival, uh, who might look

19:41on the surface to be a bit a bit of a

19:43better catch, uh, but, uh, by the end we

19:46find out that's not the case or we find

19:48out they might be better for someone

19:49else. Uh there's a matchmaking companion

19:52who likes to get the the couple

19:54together. There's an eccentric mentor of

19:56some kind and a toxic antagonist. And

20:00those are going to be your core cast of

20:01characters. You of course can have many

20:03more characters than that, but those are

20:05the core ones that you would want to to

20:07have. As far as world building goes, you

20:08know, people usually don't think of

20:10world building as applying to romance.

20:12It's more of a fantasy sci-fi thing. But

20:14I define world building as anything to

20:16do with the world that you're in. So

20:18researching the locations that your

20:20character needs to be in. Uh like

20:22understanding the town that they live

20:24in, what streets lead to where. Um

20:27what's the style, the fashion styles and

20:29stuff like that. U if your character

20:32works at a particular type of profession

20:35you need to know about that profession.

20:36You know, that's all part of world

20:37building. So we have things like your

20:38temporal setting and technological

20:40norms, which I kind of covered, and your

20:42regional culture and geographic anchors.

20:44there's some kind of domestic sanctuary

20:46uh whatever their primary home is. Uh

20:49there's a stagnant or shielded space.

20:51There's usually the generational trauma

20:53home. So this can uh deepen the

20:56emotional and psychological stakes

20:58there. Uh there can be the professional

21:00playground or industry. So like where

21:02does the person work? All of that. And

21:03the social, economic and class divide.

21:05Uh sometimes you'll see this

21:07particularly with billionaire romance

21:08that there's some kind of class divide

21:10[clears throat]

21:11uh that plays a big role in the romance.

21:14There might be a public gathering spot,

21:16the quirky and interconnected community

21:17network, a found family infrastructure,

21:20uh the intimate liinal space, the

21:22recurring relational and grief ritual.

21:25So do they have a a ritual when they're,

21:28you know, when they're experiencing

21:29their trauma? Like do they go out

21:30drinking? Do they just like go out into

21:32the woods by themselves? you know,

21:34whatever that is. And the comedic or

21:36thematic object uh rounds that out. And

21:38I have more information here about

21:40themes and uh some insights on the pros

21:44of the of the book. But that's more or

21:47less how it goes. Um so let me know in

21:49the comments if this has been useful for

21:50you. I don't know if I want to keep

21:52making these videos cuz they don't do as

21:55quite as well as some of my others, but

21:56I think for some people having this

21:59information could be super valuable. Uh,

22:01so let me know if you want me to keep

22:03doing these and I'll uh I'll certainly

22:06do at least a few more uh depending on

22:09what you guys think. But yeah, this has

22:10been Contemporary Romance. Hope that was

22:12useful for you. I'll see you in the next

22:13video.
