Hi everyone

I need help writing a love scene for my book in progress (The Heavenly Sequence) but to be honest Im struggling a little with the wording. I want to write something that readers would find romantic and true. The scene takes place at a pond at at midnight. Thank you

May I suggest something ? Don't mind the wording, romance doesn't start and end with words. Sometimes, a gesture, a slight touch may be a sign of love, that is, proper wording isn't a requirement for describing love.... Maybe you have read Romeo & Juliet ? The words are strong, Shakespeare has got his wordings right, but he has injected feelings in his words which make them effective...

So, I would say, just write down what you feel, describing the romance.....

I believe it will be the best one you would ever have written!! :D :D

PS :Well, this is what I did myself when I was asked to write a romantic story by my class teacher... I dunno whether this would suit you!! :)
