A question: how do you make love stories without them sounding sappy and way to over done? I'm trying to find a way to do that, and yet, it's just so difficult for me to write out what I want to, and making it sound realistic and not some mushy over emotional piece of writing. Any advice or tips?
Hey, Ollie! I know your new, and so am I, so I don't know, but I think there is a specific place for questions. Anyway, to try and answer your question, I think you should just write out a story, doing the best you know how to do. Post it on here, and I know you will end up getting awesome advice. When you post it, PM me and I will be happy to review. Good luck!

Close your eyes. Think of someone you love, someone you have loved, or someone you just have a crush on. Think of what you would do with them. how would you kiss them? how would you hold them? if romantic fiction holds true to anything you might do yourself, it'll hardly sound sappy. ~hope this helps!
In my oppinion, take it slow. It is hard to write a their-eyes-met-across-a-crowded-room-and-they-instantly-fell-in-love type of story, and very hard to enjoy, for me at least. It should be natural. No full out snogging the minute they meet. It's unreal, and kind of awkward. It should be like a real relationship - full of twists, turns and pot holes.
Hope I've helped. -Kelcia
