When writing a novel, story, or anything romance or about love how should one approach writing it? How should one approach building up intimacy or more specifically emotional intimacy? What's your advice on writing romance or about love or any sort of relationship?
Shayla Black
This may sound simple, but you should approach writing a love story (or any story, really) from the heart. Get to know your characters and their conflicts well, figure out what’s keeping them apart, how they need to grow as individuals and as a couple to live happily ever after, then discern what events must transpire for them to start the process of changing and melding together. If you know them well enough to answer those questions and you’re listening to them as you write, making those transitions that slowly reveal the emotional growth in the story will be as natural as breathing.
