Deep inside the story, past the start of the beginning, but before the middle of the end
When the boy has met the girl, and kissed the girl, but not yet lost the girl, that’s my favorite part.
The waters are still calm and the wide open skies are blue. Conflict sits on a shelf by the door.
At the end of the middle, she is still his. There’s been no misunderstanding, no complicated,
Convoluted, comical slash and parry. Only long, hungry looks and a shared danish.

Agreed!

Yes. And in the tundra, my heart…the Snz…has that rom-com jones, and I pick no bones about teasing her about story structure.
a really well done…wise and charming synopsis …Painted Toes

Yep, I like the middle part too. Then there’s usually a bit just after the middle when some terrible (and often terribly contrived) misunderstanding breaks up all the happiness for a while. Luckily, it generally all comes together again by the end (unless it’s a tragic love story, in which case one of the pair gets hit by a truck or something).

Exactly so. I hate the conflict. Just one more reason I’ll never be a published author.
