I would argue that there is nothing at all romantic about any of the relationships in Twilight, they all feel fabricated. But yes, that's the sort she's trying to get at.

Not romance really. More like raging hormones that no one can control for some reason.
I like my plans for my characters, but knowing me when I actually write them, I'll ruin it. *can't even put it into words* *just had mental image, and likes it*
And then because I have this image and I'm trying to make the words fit, and they won't I end up rewriting and scrapping stuff like half a dozen times. Which is exactly what they say not to do for NaNo.
I'm so much better at editing than I am at writing. But maybe that's just because I'm so harshly self-critical.... Regardless, when I write something, I'll edit it down to a shadow of its former self.
I hate editing my own work, because I tend to think the whole thing sounds shit. But if I leave it alone for a while then I can sort of edit it to a slightly better standard, without getting frustrated and canning the entire thing.

I wanted to do this one where a girl has to travel across the globe, then I decided I'd rather do that for an OC fic of some sort. So now I"m shooting blanks again.
-Doesn't think FIshy can produce more crap than I did back in seventh grade- Which reminds me I still need to type up those shitty fics from way back when.
