Tips, Guidance, Inspiration, and Science:

Want to keep going?

1. Expand on one of your 10-word stories to create a longer narrative.

2. Share your stories with someone and ask them for their 10-word love stories.

3. Try different themes like mystery, horror, or joy in the same format.

Help! I'm stuck!

1. Think of your favorite romantic movie scenes for inspiration.

2. Think of varied scenarios: missed connections, everlasting bonds, or even heartbreaks.

3. Visualize a romantic place and imagine two characters in it.

What's the science?

Writing about emotional experiences can be a therapeutic process. Pennebaker, J. W. (1997).
