Okay, so I'm doing NaNoWriMo and I just hit 30K!! GO ME!
   

Anyway... I'm trying to get kind of drama and romance in the one book, only problem is, I'm struggling, and the book is becoming realistic fiction.  

Can people give me some ideas for romantic scenes?  

Also, I'm trying to think of dramatic life stories... I have four, working on the fifth... I need three more ideas... Anyone got any?

If you can help out, I will be forever thankful.

Thanks
Kat <3

As for romantic scenes: Avoid cliches as much as humanly possible. Make the scenes eccentric. Make them explicit, but vague. Make them emotional, yet human. Remember that love and attraction are very unexplainable concepts.

As for the life stories, incorporate ideas that make your characters identifiable. They shouldn't have more personality than is humanly possible. This is the problem with most "life stories" that I read.

Good luck with Nanowrimo, I'm about 47k in, no edits yet. That is going to be a gargantuan task.
