About this listen
Many writers think romantic tension comes from obstacles keeping compatible people apart. A jealous ex. A misunderstanding. A job in another city. But that's not what makes readers ache for two people to get together.
The love stories that work are doing something completely different.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the three ways successful love stories create tension that feels genuine instead of manufactured. This isn't about formulas or rules - it's about understanding why some romantic tension makes readers invested and other tension just makes them impatient.
If you're writing romance, romantasy, or literary fiction with romantic elements, this reframe will change how you approach your love story.
