I recently read two romances where both characters were unbelievably stupid and couldn't get together because that would be the end of the book. So the author stretched out an unrealistic Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303922187736526290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903433327920936021.post-19437487375390361732009-09-14T21:13:21.305-05:002009-09-14T21:13:21.305-05:00Mary--good job!

But how many people actually let those obstacles stand in the way of them? <br /><br />Therefore, for someone to let an imaginary obstacle get in the way...well, let's say it's a pet peeve of mine!

Not romantic plot lines, but the obstacles themselves. For instance "Forbidden love" or "from different worlds" are classic obstacles. Aha! I've discovered something to blog about! Brainstorm, everyone! It's a fascinating topic!Mary Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381578745894421730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903433327920936021.post-15332546591665897862009-09-14T21:00:24.364-05:002009-09-14T21:00:24.364-05:00Thanks, Karen!

When it seems to me that people are only not together b/c they're both going in their heads, "Oh, it's impossible for us to be together" but really, there's no reason on earth for it to be impossible...well, I just thinks that's contrived drama.

It's SO hard to get right, isn't it? Seems like there's either too much or too little... and to make it real? Wow, a difficult duty.Mary Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381578745894421730noreply@blogger.com
