How to write traumatized characters
          
          •Most characters won't happily talk about their trauma at any given time
          
          •If they do talk about it, that won't basically make their trauma go away (although it's still very good to talk to someone)
          
          •Give them something that relieves stress (biting nails, drawing on their arms, biting their lip, etc) if someone mentions it or if they just think about it
          
          •Don't make every character go through trauma the exact same way

Quick Tips for Writing Romance
          
          • Consider what your characters like about each other 
          
          • Compliment their personalities. How can character A help with character B's weaknesses?
          
          •Create boundaries
          
           • Make the characters notice each other's quirks
          
          • Have your characters get annoyed by some of their quirks
          
          •Go slow on getting them together 
          
          • Build trust between characters 
          
          • Give them a life outside of their relationship 
          
          •Let your characters be vulnerable in front of each other 
          
          •Have scenes where they're helping each other 
          
          • What makes your characters want to stay together?
          
          •If your romance is a sub-plot, how much attention to they give the other character?
          
          • What does character A notice about character B?

How to hint romance between characters
          
          • Glancing at each other then immediately turning away when they notice 
          
          •Agreeing to everything they say 
          
          • Making characters get nervous and shy around characters they fancy 
          
          •Characters leaning towards the person they like during group discussions 
          
          •Mirroring their actions 
          
          • Finding subtle ways to touch (not in a sexual way) 
          
          •Asks deeper questions to them and listens deeply If the character looks for attention around the specific crush

@_TheAlienQueendom_ I wasn't quite sure if some of them were specifically romance, because I have some characters who do the same as well, but I went and wrote down some things that I've seen a lot between romantic interests, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's ONLY romance.

@MyHeroOnIce I have a character who's like this towards another character but they're not meant to be love interests-
