Plan Your Romance Novel From First Kiss to Happily Ever After

Romance readers have expectations. The meet-cute needs to land. The black moment needs to hurt. And the happily ever after needs to feel earned. That structure doesn’t happen by accident.

This 25-page planner is built specifically for how romance novels work. Not a generic story template with “romance” slapped on it. Every worksheet follows romance-specific structure.


What’s Inside

💕

Character Chemistry Worksheets

Build both characters independently, then map their chemistry: what attracts them, what repels them, and where their wounds collide.

🏷️

Trope & Subgenre Selection

Choose your tropes (enemies to lovers, second chance, forced proximity) and map how they create conflict and tension throughout your story.

📈

Romance Arc Beat Sheets

Complete 3-act beat sheets with romance-specific turning points: the meet, the first kiss, the midpoint intimacy shift, the black moment, and the grand gesture.

🔥

Intimacy Level Mapping

Plan your heat level scene by scene. Track emotional intimacy alongside physical intimacy so both arcs build together.

📅

Timeline & Scene Planner

Map your scenes chronologically. Track which relationship milestones happen when, and make sure your pacing feels natural.

✏️

Revision Checklist

Romance-specific revision guide: does the chemistry come through on the page? Is the black moment earned? Does the HEA feel satisfying?
