Writing Prompt: Warning: This Romance Writing Prompt May Cause Spontaneous Swooning

Spread the love


If your idea of romance involves brooding stares, inconvenient thunderstorms, and emotionally unavailable billionaires—then grab your keyboard and brace yourself. This prompt isn’t here to play nice… it’s here to steal your heart and wreck your outline.

✍️ Prompt Opening Example:

She wasn’t looking for love—just sourdough starter and solitude. But when her ex-fiancé turned celebrity chef crash-landed into her sleepy bookstore (literally), her quiet weekend turned into a recipe for disaster… or dessert.

❓Reflective Questions:

  1. What emotional wound are your main characters carrying—and why are they pretending not to care?
  2. What’s the one thing your lovers absolutely shouldn’t do together… but obviously will?
  3. How does your setting (small town, stormy island, luxury hotel, haunted vineyard—you choose) turn up the tension?
