What is the appeal to romance readers of the forced proximity trope?
And how do we create unique stories that feature a situation of forced proximity?
The anxiety faced by characters who are forced into being around someone they find attractive but who’s off limits is the essence of this trope. Perhaps the other person really gets on your character’s nerves big time or maybe there’s a bit of suppressed lust lurking that’s getting under their skin. This increases the tension and conflict between these two people while they deal with each other.
Stories with high conflict are in demand, and therefore romance writers must equip themselves with the knowledge and resources required to ensure they’re able to come up with fresh and interesting scenarios for their characters that will satisfy the appetite of modern-day readers.
Romance Tropes: Forced Proximity will give your writing inspiration by providing numerous examples of stories that use forced proximity as one of the tropes. With this wealth of knowledge, you’ll be able to come up with new and interesting plot scenarios for your own stories.
Plus you’ll get lists of stories organised into topics that cover common plotlines, showing you how other authors have created their own unique twists on this popular trope.
