Does anyone one have any ideas and suggestions that I could use on my story? Mostly what I’m trying to write is something that has to deal with romance and drama as from two characters who fall in love but I’m not sure what plot it sure be and I’m not sure on how I could make it original?

I’d recommend taking inspiration from your favorite love stories, and the type of stories you like to read.

Also, decide if you want the bulk of the story with them being together and facing a problem with their relationship, or the conflicts that they face while falling in love.

I personally love forced proximity stories (in which the main characters are forced to be in contact with each other for some reason.) They are typically enemies to lovers or strangers to lovers, but could also be friends to lovers. (This is simply my personal preference; you do whatever you want!)

Have a main conflict that the characters face throughout the story, and don’t kill a character just to kill a character! If you are killing one off, have a reason for it! There needs to be a reason for the character to die for the story to progress, not just to add a death.

That’s all the advice I have; I hope it helps! Good luck in your writing endeavors!
