Writing Exercise: Romance

Hey, guys!

I usually try to avoid novels that are all about romance and about the attraction between the perfect hero and the clumsy, clueless female counterpart, but it does make one heck of a subplot when the characters are flawed and believable.

So for this writing exercise I'm going to list a bunch of settings where couples could meet. I want you guys to keep certain things in mind. For example, what kind of people would normally hang out in these places and why? What common goals or interests would they share? Who approached whom? What did they do to cement their romantic intentions?

Based off of these meeting places, write about how the couple met. And keep in mind that these could be couples of any age, so a party could mean a kid's birthday party, a high school party, or a party among coworkers.. Just saying.

1) Beach

2) Cafe

3) Fair/Carnival

4) School

5) Job (open-ended)

6) Library

7) Aquarium

8) Campground

9) Party

10) Park

Go get 'em!

Happy writing!!
