Iridescent Romance!

Friday here!

Have you ever experienced love before? No not love like chocolate, bands, hobbies, etc. But Love as in true love that gives you that happy feeling all the time. To me, love is iridescent. Full of colors that light up my heart and make it flutter. Yours can too especially for the characters you have created. Since this is my first article...I'll start from the start.

We all know you can't make characters from a story kiss when they don't even know each other. Except for love at first sight but usually when that happens they get to know each other after.

The story in getting to know each other is important for the readers. They need to get to know the characters too. In between those "getting to know" you can put many cliff hangers that makes the reader want to read more. (readers get desperate.)

For example,

"We're just friends you know." Amy said. Mike stood there unable to respond. They just met a few days ago at a party when they hooked up. But he was in love with her. He inched his face closer and gazed at her soft, pink lips just inches away. Or better, centimeters. The world stopped and all he could do, was trust his true feelings for her or just be friends with her like she stated before.

Cliff hanger!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike might kiss her or back away and apologize.

So, getting the lovers to know each other is a big plus from when they start hanging out till they end up together. This benefits the reader also. Readers take sides sometimes and it makes them form their opinions based on how much you want them to know the characters.

Here's a question I want ALL of you to answer honestly. I need to have your answers fast! For those who answer, I will personally read a story of yours, add it to my library, vote, AND promote it on my profile.

When writing a romance scene, which do you enjoy putting more details best?

Ex. Catching characters stare at each other, kiss scene, bumping into each other, etc.

I hope to get answers my lovelies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May love to you, be iridescent as ever.
