Planning on writing a romance ?

Almost all books, movies and stories revolve around individuals , who are in situations where their search for a soul mate leads them through various experiences and travails which mostly end in a 'all is well ' and ' they lived happily ever after endings '. These situations depend on the script , so they could be funny, sad, social or moralistic . The story could have just two characters , it can be a love triangle -or the more the merrier - perhaps a multi character plot.

Once the writer decides on the number of persons involved in the story, the next step is to imagine interesting situations wherein these characters can interact. The meeting places and responses can be taken from real life experiences (with the names changed of course ). Care should be taken to write in a manner which makes the reader relate to the characters, situations and culminations.

Every romance has its agonies, joys, fights and misunderstandings , so its up to you - the 'god' of your characters to weave a plot that has all this and more to keep your readers glued on , begging for more !

These are the very basic steps to begin writing . Hope you have found them helpful and start on your project . Happy Writing!!
