@that_writer_girl_99 this is a good question, and @Aratrea has a good answer. I’d just like to add that first, it is possible to write a good romance without experience if you’re looking on it as essentially a really, really deep friendship.

My hesitancy to create a “love interest” in the story I’m planning out may stem from my lack of knowledge in the romance department, but I wanted to get y’all’s opinion on this subject before I make any decisions.

@Cloudy Welcome!! Glad to have you. And nobody’s asked you yet what MBTI type you are. So I ask you, what is your MBTI type? (I’m guessing INTP. If I may make so bold as to guess. 😛 )
