I am looking for ideas for a clean romance story. Would like it very much if you lot could give me some writing prompts. Cheers!
 
Start with a bathroom...dimly lit...the tub is running...the suds bubbling...
 
Define clean? Sweet (i.e. sexless) romance? Or replace sex scenes with fade-to-black? Or what? Also, how long, because novel-length ideas are quite different from short-story length ideas. And did you want a straight romance? With the usual beautiful heroine and tall muscular hero? Any particular setting, like modern or historical or fantasy, or...?
 
Just a regular guy and a regular woman getting together. A little touch of rumpy pumpy but not to much that sort of thing.

Make it a modern day adult Irish take on Romeo and Juliet.

Perhaps she is a Northsider (round Parnell Street) and he comes from Bray.
If you want to be really daring she is a Cat and he is a Prod, from different parts of Belfast.

In either case she is a 21-y-o widow (car accident) struggling to make ends meet with a young child, while he is a 25-y-o bachelor with a well-paid job (Civil Service or something equally safe).

It wouldn't be an Irish story with a happy ending.
 
Rumpy pumpy? Is that like anal sex? I'm not up on all the Irish euphemisms these days......Carney
