I think it's useful to try the "Come as you aren't" approach
i actually did that a few days ago, with Aiuto! (http://kidsnurse.livejournal.com/50722.html). i'd never in my life attempted writing anything approaching 'romance,' and i must say, i enjoyed it and was satisfied with the result.
but i must also admit to being much more comfortable last night, posting more angst-und-drung. :) i... don't deal well with change [and i also have a gift for understatement! hee].
