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.

Yep, I agree. I just thought it'd be simpler to write the less complicated sort.

Fortunately or unfortunately, my story thought better of it, and is trying to break it to my character that love isn't something you necessarily find where or when or how you'd expect it.

And it's hard to write!

Perhaps you should try writing something else for just a while? Maybe sneak up on the romance.

I'm going to post more of mine soon and I hope you'll share, too.
