As you write your next romantic storyline, abandon the clichés. Kill the "love triangle" if it doesn't serve the plot. Ditch the grand gesture if it isn't earned. Instead, look for the truth. Look for the way a person sighs when they are exhausted by love. Look for the mundane Tuesday night where a couple orders takeout and realizes they are home.
