What are some good romance story ideas?
Try drawing inspiration from other romance novels or films you like. For example, Romeo & Juliette, Atonement, Pride and Prejudice, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Notebook or even modern novels like Twilight and The Time Traveler’s Wife (which I highly recommend). You could even make the story a parody of your own romantic relationships. Think about anything romantic that has inspired you. What I like in a romantic novel is the “opposites attract” aspect of it like in Twilight. I like the idea of the two characters being very different from each other but sharing a deep connection somehow. I mean like the girl could be gentle, sensitive, melancholy and deep and then the boy could be the total opposite: fiery, sexy and passionate but troubled. Or the boy could be strong, logical, and down-to-earth and then the girl is very fickle, wanderlust and free-spirited. But then maybe they find common ground over their love of music…. I don’t know… I also like the sci-fi romance like in The Time
