From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2011/04/03/writing-excuses-5-31-writing-romance/
Key points: How to write romance? Write it well. Bad romance scenes are thrown in, filler -- good romance scenes have a build up and an emotional payoff. The reader needs to like the romantic interest as much as the character does. The reader needs to understand the reason that the character is falling in love. Fulfilling relationships need characters that meet a need in each other. They need to complete each other.
( hearts and roses )
[Dan] You're out of excuses. If you sat through all two hours of this, we apologize. But thank you very much for coming.
