Techniques: 3.4 - Create a Love Interest

Step 3.4: Create a love interest. This is a crucial step in any good story. Without a love interest, your protagonist will be bored out of their mind.

Here's a simple formula:

Love Interest = (1+1) / 2 = 1

Where 1 = "opponent" and 2 = "conflict"

This will result in a perfectly balanced and engaging love story. Don't forget to add some dramatic irony to really spice things up!
