In general, we live in a big world. Sure, now with technology communicating across the world is quite easy but talking land mass and distances, it's still a pretty big world. And there are many people in it. So, how does one find the right person for romance? A song that came out not long ago comments on that factor as in the lyrics the guy mentions his mom saying the one person in the world for them could live in Tahiti. Possible, but chances are they will still fall in love. While it might be a big place out there, sometimes in our lives in actually becomes a small small world.
Not that we just have one little circle and live in that bubble of a world without regard to what is outside of us, or well, not that many people are that way. Still, we tend to have our little places. We have our homes, work places, family, friends and lives tending to be centered in specific areas since it's really hard to be everywhere all at the same time. How we fall in love can be affected by those locations and distance doesn't have to be a factor either. This site is our own small little world in the vastness known as the internet.
I'm not talking romance either but it does have an affect on how we find love. The world is vast but our own, personal worlds are much smaller. That is because we tend to find people in the places we spend the most time. Even sometimes when we're not supposed to but we can talk about work place and other types of romances in a different newsletter. The general factor is when you're around someone often time, there is a chance for things to develop.
And sometimes, that person we never thought we'd imaging running into at a store or when away out of town, well they just might be there.
Even in the big wide world there are some crazy circumstances that happen. I'm from a very big state, originally, but we don't have the largest population. Now, I live in a city with an immense population. Yet, at work I met someone who was roommates in college with a guy I went to high school with. It was crazy. So, even in this big wide world we can come across people that we have different connections to no matter where we live.
The random friend of a friend or other weird circumstance can also help create a romance story. Friends sometimes date or help introduce someone who turns out to be the one. Romances happen in the work place even though it's frowned upon in many locations.
I'm working on a story right now about someone who finds a person they want to date only to find out that their friend is with that person's ex and started seeing them before they became an ex. Makes for a bit of difficulty in developing the romance. They also had other mutual friends and there is a little element about how small their world feels considering the circumstances and people around them. Things come up, situations happen and then there is conflict, but that's how we get a story developed.
So, what about you and your story? Does the world in your story feel vast or is it kept smaller? And how do your characters even meet? Many things to consider and once that's thought of, well, then you can have fun writing romance. |

Are there any circumstances that bring your love characters together?
Last time, I discussed the different word count lengths that are options for writing romance and love stories.
Comment by Allie McCormack 
I'd say as long as it takes to tell the story. I'm speaking as a reader here. Most category romance don't work for me, because they're not satisfying; either character development or a well-rounded world/plot is sacrificed for length. On the other hand, a longer book that's padded with excessive or extremely long/detailed sex or fight scenes to pad the word count (either that or to impress us... sorry, not impressed) are just BORING and make me roll my eyes, and they're not satisfying either.
