Inspiration is flowing

I am really feeling it today ... I know where the characters are going and how they will get there and I am SO excited to start their journey. I also found while editing last night that the characters each have a distinctive voice that I am really starting to hear. I know that Samantha & Piero do for sure. Andy needs to find her voice, but I know that will come. She has been so absent from this section of the book ... that I found I was missing her. Must be time for her to rejoin the party. I was so involved in the love story of my two characters that I forgot other people existed LOL! So we will need to find some other people to join too ... we can't have Andy being the 3rd wheel to a love couple ... no fun there. So some new souls are dancing around in my head and will soon find a place on the paper :) Hope this journey has been interesting for anyone who reads this :) I am enjoying the process and this outlet helps me to develop new ideas and talk out the ones I already have.
Of course I will have to stop writing about the book in my blog soon ... my big twist is coming and I want EVERYONE who reads it ... to be surprised. So I don't want to give it away :( Which is a bummer casue I would like to get feedback on the reveal. Lets hope that is the job of the eventual publisher and editor:) Have a great day & thanks for reading this <3

Can't think of Romantic things that are NOT sappy LOL

I have been trying to search my soul (LOL) to find a way to connect my two main characters together in a deep love without over romanticizing the book. I want you to be in a whorl-wind romance, yet hold on to the intensely guarded nature of the main character. Plus I want the unique love they share to be absorbed. UGH!
So here I am at MIDNIGHT ... trying to think of romantic things they can do together in Italy .. that are not food - wine - or hot air balloon related!
I don't want to glaze over the time they spend building their love for each other. Any ideas? I am very open to ideas lol! Plus as I sit & write ... which I love ... I think of other books I want to write .. So I have to pin myself to this ONE project and finish it ... I already have 3 half done books around here!
I am dying to do a comedy, life satire book right now. Some of the things I hear everyday, just SHOULD be shared! I should just get one book published .. I might be wasting my time on the others ... the publisher may tell me I am crap & I wasted all that energy running the computer in the middle of the night :)
