How to write romance if you don't know how to write.


Just have no dialogue in the scenes where the couple fall for each other. Instead do it like a montage where music plays over shots of them laughing and relating. This way nobody knows the writer can't think of any dialogue or situation to bring about the mutual connection naturally.

But a 'falling in love' montage can only take up a fraction of the movie's running time. The rest has to be WRITTEN in some form. That is why screenwriting is hardly the refuge for people who 'cant write'!
