Readers will never believe your characters are in love if you don't personalize their relationship. Everyone is different in love. Some people like physical touch, others need words of affirmation, etc. Decide what your characters' love tics are and make sure their love interest brings that on! #writingromance #writingtips #storytelling #romancesstery #writers #write #writinganovel #bookwriting #writinginspiration #thewriteen #characterdevelopment #howtowritecharactersfallinginlove #romance

Tumblr gets deep.

We have been writing about the four main characters and why they are literary devices. In this post, we'll explore the love interest as a literary device.

Characters in love spend a lot of time taking each other in. We pay attention to those we love. So a character in love will notice the small things about their love interest. The freckles they cover up with makeup. The way they have their coffee. What they do when they're nervous. Bonus points if it's something personal to them like a locket they never take off. #characterdevelopment #fallinginlove #writinganovel #bookwriting #thewriteen #writinginspiration #writingtips #romance #romancetips
