New and Fresh
We can't reinvent the wheel. We'd be stealing someone's idea if we did this and would probably land ourselves in a lot of trouble. What we need to do is learn how to say the same things in new and fresh language. After you've read a few romance novels, you realize they have a lot in common with each other. Each writer, though, tells the story a little differently. The fresher we make the story, the better off we are.
Of course, we can always add twists and turns to the story to make it different from the last one. We've always knows that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Quite frankly, though, the shortest distance is also the most boring route. We want to do the scenic route. We want to include sightseeing and some adventure along the way. We might even through in some car trouble on a deserted road.
The car trouble scene could become quite spicy if we did it right. We have a choice here, three, actually. Nothing interesting could happen while the car breaks down and they wait for a fix. Something bad happens while they wait for a tow. Maybe the cell phone doesn't work because of lack of service in that area. They need to move on to plan B. The first people they see in their secluded spot decide to take advantage of the location to create mayhem. The newcomers decide to rough up the guy and stuff him in the trunk of the car. They rape the woman and take her along with them to continue their feast at a later time. In the meantime, the broken down car is clearly visible from the road, but the road doesn't get much traffic.
Or, finally, something good could happen. How often do a man and a woman find themselves completely cut off from civilization. It turns out they have a picnic lunch in the car and decide to take advantage of the seclusion to partake of romantic meal set in the forest. They are close enough to the road to hear if any cars come by, but far enough away that they have as much privacy as they desire. The picnic basket just happens to contain a bottle of wine which goes nicely with the moment.
The possibilities are endless. If we know what points A and B are, we can travel any number of routes to get there. Make every moment count.
