Instructions

1

Choose your setting. Your love story isn’t taking place in a vacuum. The setting will influence your main character’s state of mind, so select a setting that will help develop the emotions of your characters. For example, a lush tropical island could induce feelings of love.
2

Develop your characters. Readers will want to live vicariously through the characters in your story. The more you describe their states of minds, the more readers can identify with them.
3

Start writing your love story by introducing your character in the setting you’ve selected. Present your character with successive challenges, like situations that make falling in love more unlikely.
4

Develop your storyline by having your main character interact with others. Your main character’s love interest should be the focus. As your character pursues the goal, divide the storyline into logical chapter breaks.
5

Introduce various emotions to your characters. The sense of love will be more intense when preceded by other emotions such as sadness or anger.
6

Expand the world your character lives in as you continue writing the storyline. Go into the details of the emotional state of mind of your main character. Love stories explore the depths of emotions, and you want the reader to remember the entire range of your main character’s emotions.
7

Write a conclusion to your love story by having your main character fall in love.
