30 Days of Writing: #16

[lathriel]

16. Do you write romantic relationships? How do you do with those, and how “far” are you willing to go in your writing? ;)

I do write romantic relationships. It's hard not too. Literally. I set out writing TPaL intending that the MCs would not fall in love, but they took over and wrote their own stories.

I'm willing to go as far as the relationship needs to go. I don't care for superfluous sex scenes in books that I'm reading, so I try not to put them in my writing. Sometimes it works though- sometimes those moments of intimacy heighten your feelings for the characters, and if it's a well executed "sex scene" then no one is grossed out or offended. It can be poetry, if you do it right.

"It can be poetry, if you do it right." What, like a dirty limerick? ;-)
