How do you write romance stories? Or any sort of fiction.

What romance stories that are already written do you like?

I'm not sure how you'd write them, since I don't recall ever trying, but if you'd like to learn I'd say reading some decent ones would be a good starting point!

Everyone likes being told that they're beautiful and amazing, and having their good qualities commented upon.
Maybe include some of that every so often in your story?

I think that'd be your best bet! At least to start with.

I don't really read them but yeah, those examples are pretty ridiculous.
I think you should just write about what you think love should be.

I don't either, really. You can just make it up as you go! That's why it's fun!

Eh, I'm sure that would help, but I don't think it's necessary. The person who wrote Fifty Shades had no idea and that sold millions of copies!

I have no idea! But they did. They even made movies out of the books, and they were even more ridiculous.

As long as it works for you, it's fine! You don't need to adhere to what the masses think. Unless you want to be a bestseller!

That's true enough! I suppose you're right.

And I'm no expert, but I think you just write what feels right for you.

I don't think so, as long as there's love there and it's not in gibberish!

I'm sorry, I don't mean to confuse you. I just don't know how else you would go about it.

That's the spirit! I think you'll be great at it.

A place to put it? Can't you just buy a notebook?
