What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started

Romance Character Flaws/Quirks

(That Deserve More Page Time)

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The couple that communicates too much. Yes, too much. “What are you feeling right now?” “Still processing your last question.”

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The hopeless romantic who’s allergic to commitment. (“I love love, just not… mine.”)

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The introvert/extrovert pairing where the extrovert is the shy one in bed.

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The enemies-to-lovers arc where they stay enemies for too long. Petty excellence.

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The grumpy one who’s only grumpy because they’re socially anxious.

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The sunshine character who’s secretly manipulative, and knows it.

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The exes who are still each other’s emergency contact. (Tragic. Delicious.)

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The partner who gets jealous of inanimate objects. “You looked at your phone so lovingly.”

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The mutual pining duo who’ve been “just friends” for seven years and counting.

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The one who falls first but hides it terribly.

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The one who falls second but falls harder.

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The best friend who gives blunt relationship advice and then ignores all of it in their own life.

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The flirty one who turns into a panicked golden retriever when it’s real.

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The couple that argues like it’s foreplay. Because sometimes, it is.

⋆.𐙚 ̊ The love story that ends in peace, not passion. Because stability is also sexy.

[prompts-in-a-barrel]

"This place has a population of less than 5,000 and has had four serial killers in the last decade. I don't care if it's cursed, or there's a cult, or if there's just something in the water: I don't want to live here."

"I'm sure we'll be fine."

"Can you not be a Horror Movie Dad right now?"

Found You Crying in the Middle of the Night... Dialogue Prompts

✧ "I—are you... crying? No, hey, it's okay. I'm not leaving."

✧ "Why didn’t you wake me up? I would've listened. I always listen."

✧ "You don’t have to do this alone, you know that, right?"

✧ "Did something happen, or is it just... everything?"

✧ "Is this the part where you tell me you’re 'fine'? 'Cause you're literally shaking."

✧ "You scared me. Just—sitting here. In the dark. Alone."

✧ "Talk to me. Yell at me. Cry into a pillow. I don’t care what it is—just do something."

✧ "You didn’t even turn the lights on. How long have you been like this?"

✧ "Hey. No. Don’t apologize. You’re allowed to break down. You’re supposed to break down sometimes."

✧ "Was it a nightmare? Or one of those waking ones your brain likes to loop at 2AM?"

✧ "You're not weak for crying. You're human. And frankly, overdue for a cry, if you ask me."

✧ "I’ll sit here. As long as you need. You don’t have to say anything."

✧ "...You want a hug or should I pretend I didn’t ask and awkwardly hover until you give in?"

✧ "You always take care of everyone else. Let someone take care of you for once."

✧ "Don’t do that. Don’t wipe your face and pretend I didn’t just see all of that. That wasn’t nothing."
