Can Someone Help Me Describe A Love Scene

Help me describe a romantic scene in a story I'm writing....?

It is very difficult for any liberated author to simply dictate a specified outlet toward any whimsicality of the imagination, especially romance, so basically, you would have to take complete control of that. Your number one priority should be to use vivid imagery, regardless of the perspective it is written in.You didn't really mention in what form you wanted it, or who the main character was, but assuming it is in third person, vindictive first person, or alternating first person, I would suggest you isolate speed in which it happens. For example, a lot of authors who feel uncomfortable in their ability to describe things very well, or successfully do justice to a beautiful idea, try the following statement- It all happen very fast, or the next few events were a blur.

My suggestion is to simply increase the provocation and dramatic intensity of the scene with dialogue, backed up mainly with personal insight if it is a main character talking, or a fully bias account from an alternate source.

Can you describe someone dying in your arms?

*This will be when he gets ran over*
I hear the sound of a car and ( insert name ) scream. I turn around and find him on the ground, lying in a puddle of his own blood. My eyes widen with shock. I ran over to him and hold him in my arms. " ( insert name )?! Are you okay?!" His blood won't stop coming out of him. "( Insert name ), I'm sorry..." My tears landed on his pale face. "N-no... I'm sorry... for running away..." ( insert name ) shakily, strokes my cheek, wiping my tears. "Please don't cry, I want my last memory to be of you smiling..." "( insert name ), I love you, with all of my heart." "I love you too, (insert name )..." Life started to flow out of him along with his blood. I weakly smile for him one last time and he mouthed a 'thank you'. (insert name ) slowly closed his eyes.
Hopefully that helps ^^

Who can help me describe a scene where a character gets electric shocked from his POV?

Look to Invisible ManThe entire book is about race relations in the 1920s(?) and follows this narrator who moves from the South to Harlem. If you want to read the whole thing, go right ahead. If not, skip to Chapter 10.Here, the main character is getting an electric lobotomy. The text is weird, and the surrealism of the chapter makes it really hard to know what's going on. But this is something you can maybe take away, since your brain's not going to be working right while it's being scrambled.

How do you describe a romantic love scene (for a novel)? PLEASE HELP!?

This is ... I'm not sure where to start. This is going to come off as very nasty, but it would be wrong of me to be anything but honest.

- "she wants to be with him even for justo ne night and wanted to be his wife". Christ, that's creepy. If I said that to a guy I was interested in, he'd run screaming.

- "he isn't as strong as the titans, etc etc etc". Don't write that. Please. It's very sappy. The "status or wealth" thing is fine, but the titans/satyr thing is just too corny.

- "he approaches her from behind..." even though he was kneeling before her just a second ago? What - he stands up and walks behind her?

- "she feels scared and pushes him away but he ... says he can't wait any longer". Aside from the semi-abuse that's going on here, I've got another problem. Both characters COMPLETELY changed here. The girl went from "I want to be your wife" to "I'm too scared", and the bloke went from "I'm not worthy of you" to "I MUST HAVE YOU RIGHT NOW". It just doesn't make sense.

- "after their passionate moment" ... hehehe ... only a moment, huh? Boy, he doesn't last long.

- "the girl declares in her thoughts that the guy is now her husband". Is there any particular reason for this? Is she mentally unwell, or ...?

How should I describe a kissing scene between two guys?

Someone else, like any scene, you will write a love scene in a single POV (point of view), sharing how one character experiences the event. Bear in mind that you want to use all five senses, not just what he sees and hears. You probably want to include inner monologue as well--what he's thinking. Is he scared, nervous, aroused, appalled? Why?

Also remember that unless you're writing erotica or erotica romance, you don't need to focus any more on a kissing scene than any other scene.

Describe an aggressive kissing scene?

I'm writing a story and the kissing scene takes place right after a heated argument so the kiss between the two characters is going to be aggressive. I also had the kiss be a surprise to the guy so, basically, the girl is in control. I'm not sure how to give it that intense feel to it. Right now, it just sounds really simple and lifeless.

Do you have to be in love to write good love scenes?

No. When I wrote My EX Fell In Love, I was single, and not the about to get in love single, I used to despise the feeling called love (Because of all the mushy Facebook couples around me.). But I knew what it means to be in love for the people who are and how does it feel like. I do agree that what you see in movies and read is just not enough. You need to have a stand and perspective to write in a way you can imagine the things happening to you. And for that, a good research and a creative mind are enough.

How do you write a love scene in a serious novel?

It depends on the scene and what you want to convey. Do you want this supposed “love scene” to make the reader sigh with satisfaction because it’s a good thing and it’s what they want to happen, or do you want it to make them cringe and gasp because it’s a surprise that these two characters are now romantic. Or maybe it’s more mundane, you just want to right about kissing without it getting too graphic and weird. I get that. Whatever you want to convey, what I would do with a love scene is describe what’s happening in the character’s head(s); not so much what they’re physically doing with the person. The reader can visualize a kiss well enough, you don’t have to describe it so detailed like some authors do. **Cough cough (John Green) cough** . Just describe the purpose of the love scene. How does it move the plot, what direction is it going in? Why are they in love, should they be in love, is this a bad thing, is this a wonderful thing?And if you mean sex scene, this can get even trickier. As writers, we want to describe the image we have in detail in order to get our point across that these characters are serious. We want our story and all of its scenes to be realistic. But describing sex in full detail isn’t always necessary to the plot. It could make or break a novel (mostly break). Again, the reader understands what is happening. It’s honestly better to leave it to their imagination sometimes. I personally believe writers don’t have to be so graphic with sex scenes but that’s not stopping them lol.When it comes to a love scene, just describe the emotional side to it because in the end, that’s what love is in real life. When someone talks to their friend about a sexual experience or even just a kiss that they had, they don’t just sit their and describe how their mouth tasted (again, John Green. Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy but Looking for Alaska was a bit much). In real life, people will talk about how it made them feel and how it effects their present and future with their partner. I believe the best writers make the reader feel deeply, and emotional description is more relatable than physical description, in my opinion.

How to write a good love scene?

Ah, everyone's answers are spot on. Thumbs up for them :) But I would also include a couple of tips. First, a "good" love scene is speculative..varies per person. Things that I find cheesy, personally, are explicit descriptions of the actual sex. It boarders on soft porn for me and doesn't suit my tastes. But conversely, there are LOADS of readers out there who can better visualize that sort of scene and it works for them. So decide who your audience is for.

Sounds to me like you are more like me and don't want to toe the line between excessive and acceptable.

So tips:

1) Subtlety. Drop hints and suggestions of what's to happen...almost like how a movie pans out of the scene as the guy carries his laughing wife into the bedroom and kicks the door shut. It suggests plainly what they'll be doing and does it in a more tasteful way than just describing what particular body part he's kissing..etc.

2) Avoid cliched, sappy dialogue/monologue/description like the plague. Nothing turns me off more than to read "hair cascading down her back" or "love exuded from her eyes" or "I can't breathe without you, kiss me PLEASE". It makes me dry heave when I read this...it isn't even funny anymore. lmao. So, keep it realistic and don't make your prose flowery.

3) Show him/her doing sweet things and don't forget to make them human. Give the scene some humor, make them mess up.
I'd smile if I read about a guy picking her a flower because it was the prettiest one around and sticking it behind her ear only to find out that it was some sort of poisonous species and caused an allergic reaction in her..which then led to their botched date and a sweet, humble "good night" with a crooked grin on both their lips...over...say...a candle lit dinner and her tearfully telling him how special he is to her.

4) Pay close attention to your word choice. You don't only want to avoid the cliched phrases but you want to avoid using the wrong words...they could seriously ruin your love scene.

Good luck.
