Show the Love in Every Genre

Relationships are part of life and are included in every genre. True romance just steps up the ante a little, focusing on the couple and describing their feelings and intimacy.
Romantic Friday Writers are hosting another challenge this Friday.

Taking part in these challenges is a great way to hone your writing skills.
As long as there's an element of romance in the piece you submit then that's fine.

This week it's the Romantic Picnic.
You get to choose the POV and have free reign within the chosen title,
but remember to follow the submission/challenge guidelines
to ensure you're in with a chance of being chosen
for any coveted RFW awards.


 

Of course things between
your hero and heroine could turn sour,
that's up to you. You can even write from the hero's viewpoint if you wish. 

Just have fun with it.Add a dash of humour? Play with the food? Let yourself go...

Use it as a great practice piece for Flash Fiction or Poetry or even a collection of haiku.

Just sign up to the linky on the Thursday before submission date and have a blast!
If you miss this particular challenge,
guidelines for future challenges can be found
HERE.

  1. I probably should do this, but I just have too much jangling around in my head at the moment. I need to sit down and focus better.

  2. I know I should jump back into the pool, but I'm like Angela with too much jangling around.

  4. Nice plug for Friday's post. I need to get working on mine! I've been thinking about it but haven't come up with anything yet

  5. Thanks Maddy! I appreciate you posting this shout out. It'd be lovely to have more entries but as the above comments show, people all have projects and don't prioritise RFW. There is a lot of demands on our time. No matter how frantically busy I am with my myriad projects, I'd feel very lost if I didn't have my RFW fix every fortnight. I really believe I've improved in my FF writing just doing these prompts.

    Linky is now up...hope you get the time to write for us this week.

  6. Everybody seems to be so busy this summer. I do read quite a few of the RFW posts but haven't actually entered any yet. Most of my writing is for children at the moment! If you are interested I have left you a tag to the 'Be Inspired' meme.

    Look forward to reading some picnic inspired posts.

  8. Interesting challenge. I have a lot on my plate right now but maybe in the future I'll give it a go.

  9. Oh, sounds like fun! I'm typing up my newest story, so if I get a likely looking scene, I might just do this...

  10. I really would have liked to join, but I'm struggling to write what I'm supposed to, so I don't really have time to join in RFW yet.

    Maybe one day soon. :-)
