But I might be holding too tightly to the reins. I never just let them go -- I should totally try that!Wendy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326816435723118863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963956852082582845.post-36766101123950823762013-04-14T14:03:48.639-06:002013-04-14T14:03:48.639-06:00I am the same way!

I try to write it in away that is different from all the things that annoy me. In my current book the boy and the girl are in an intense situation and they find they work well together. This builds into a friendship which will hopefully build into "something more." I like romance to be subtle and woven into the main story. It is more natural for me to write it that way.<br /><br />I'm nominating you for a Liebster award :) I have been really enjoying your blog. (if you are busy I understand. These awards seem to take a lot of time.)http://simplysarahsblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/blog-award.htmlSimply Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562206323308418937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963956852082582845.post-38197068369463921122013-04-14T10:56:52.163-06:002013-04-14T10:56:52.163-06:00New follower here. *Waves* Ah romance.

I think some could use their own personal fantasies to go on. But if neither of those things work, I'd say leave it up to your characters. In the end, you don't have to be romantic, but are they? And are you allowing them to have that kind of personality. I'd say try throwing back the reins and let your characters play it out. If it makes you squirm, try to think of it as them doing those things and not you. Maybe that will make it easier, and help you feel less restricted. Hope this helps.
