Well...I do have something of a plot complication, in that I planned to have her meet kinda the classic romantic lead character - tall, dark and handsome and a bit serious. But then a little goofball of a guy showed up at the laundromat (thanks to the Hobbit Holers) and I think he's the right one. Right now she thinks he's incredibly annoying, though, mostly because he keeps getting in the way of her efforts to meet Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome.
But I'm discovering just how truly lousy I am at writing romance of any kind, even the innocent stuff. I just haven't done it - guess this is good practice in that way! But I don't like my character very much right now. She's not been very nice to her true Mr. Right.
250 words in a sitting ain't bad! 11k in a weekend, though...whew! I don't think I could do it!
I still want a keyboard for my PDA...I think I could get a lot more done away from the computer. But I have other stories waiting in the wings, so if and when I get that, it'll be nice to have.
I'm bad at romance, too, and I have to handle two in upcoming chapters - flashback to 'young love' and present day... I dunno, I don't go for "love at first sight" at all unless, oh, there's magic involved or something. In fact my current notion of romantic is - you know in My Fair Lady when Higgins realizes how he's fallen in love with Eliza, and he says - "I've grown accustomed to her face"? That, to me, is romantic. The idea that someone has become so important to you, so much a part of your life, that you can't imagine being without that person.
As to word count - I can manage 1000 an hour if I'm distracted (say, surfing FR every ten minutes). Closer to 2k if I've got the right music and no interruptions.
