Romance Writing Assignment: "A Love as Pure as Solventless CBD"

**Objective:** Create a romantic narrative that uses the purity and artisanal process of solventless CBD flower rosin as a central metaphor or literal element in the story. Explore themes of authenticity, craftsmanship, and the quest for natural, untainted love.

**Instructions:**

### **Part 1: Character Development**

1. **Protagonists:**

   - **Background:** Develop two main characters who are deeply involved in craftsmanship or artisanal trades. One could be a master rosin presser, dedicated to creating the purest CBD extracts, while the other might be a naturalist, herbalist, or a boutique shop owner who values authenticity and natural products.

   - **Personal Values:** Highlight how each character values purity, whether in their work, relationships, or lifestyle. These values should be reflected in their approach to love and life.

2. **Character Arcs:**

   - **Growth Through Authenticity:** As the story unfolds, illustrate how the characters’ commitment to authenticity and quality in their work influences their romantic relationship. Show how their pursuit of something genuine—whether it’s in their products or their love—helps them overcome personal challenges.

### **Part 2: Plot Development**

1. **Inciting Incident:**

   - **Prompt:** The story begins when the characters meet over a shared interest in natural, solventless products. Perhaps one character is sourcing the finest CBD rosin for their shop, while the other is the artisan who creates it. How does this initial business interaction spark a deeper connection?

   - **Chain of Thought:** Detail the setting—perhaps a small, cozy apothecary, a farmer’s market, or an exclusive launch event for the CBD flower rosin. Show how their mutual respect for quality and craftsmanship ignites a spark.

2. **Rising Action:**

   - **Prompt:** As their relationship develops, the characters face challenges that test their commitment to authenticity—both in their work and in their budding romance. What obstacles arise that make them question their dedication to purity in their personal and professional lives?

   - **Chain of Thought:** Explore scenes where external pressures—like the temptation to compromise quality for profit or the strain of maintaining an artisanal business—mirror the challenges in their relationship. How do these challenges affect their bond?

3. **Climax:**

   - **Prompt:** The story reaches a critical point when the characters must choose between staying true to their values or taking an easier, less authentic path. How does this decision impact their relationship? What role does their commitment to purity (symbolised by the solventless CBD rosin) play in resolving the conflict?

Chain of Thought:** Focus on the emotional stakes—whether it’s a tempting business offer that would dilute their standards, or a personal misunderstanding that threatens their relationship. Show how they navigate this turning point.

4. Resolution:

Prompt:** Conclude with a scene where the characters reaffirm their commitment to each other and to their shared values of authenticity and purity. How do they integrate these principles into their future together?

   - **Chain of Thought:** Paint a picture of their future—whether they continue their craft, expand their business, or simply find peace in their relationship. Highlight the lasting impact of their shared dedication to natural, untainted love.
