All right, some people are awake and writing.  I'm doing some Christmas shopping and getting my second cup of coffee.  How are things going?

I finished my Christmas shopping today :D (well, maybe I buy something to myself, but doesn't really count)
I managed to open the fic and correct some grammar, but I really have no idea where to go with this. How to write a romance? o.O

[alinaandalion.livejournal.com]

Ooh, what kind of romance?

[a-q.livejournal.com]

A relationship that's new, physical and carefree, but then there's suddenly love and the persons are 'wait, love, how to react' and then maybe...panic? Or adjust? I don't know what reaction would be interesting!
(this sounds like a chick flick movie now that I think of it :D)

I love those. Because it gets all awkward and cute, and they act like idiots before figuring it out and being like "right, love, it's a good thing." And then sex.

I caught up on the fics I follow, so that's something!

[alinaandalion.livejournal.com]

Yes! :) Do you have the problem that all the really good fics are updated at the same time? It happens to me all the freaking time and I get really behind on the stuff I want to read.

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

RIGHT?! My other problem is like, nothing will update for three or four days, and then on days when I have to do something ALL of them will update and I'm like, really?

[a-q.livejournal.com]

Exactly, that's what I want :D It's just writing it the way I see the story is trickier than I thought!

[alinaandalion.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY.

[alinaandalion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that happens. I'm working on a romance right now, too, friends to lovers, but they're not quite friends yet? I don't know. It's messy. But, damn, do I love it.

Of course, everything I write has angst because apparently that's the way I roll and live my life.

[a-q.livejournal.com]

Angst is good! It gives the love a sharper edge :)

[alinaandalion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and there are FEELINGS.

But, also happy. Happy is very good. :)
