You just need to write more...
on 2011-07-22 08:44 pm (UTC)If you write about your life, your whole life, then the shmoopy parts will be represented, but it won't be all that's represented.
When you write about gender issues, especially gender issues affecting you, it isn't shmoopy, but it's interesting to read. When you write about dancing, it isn't shmoopy (or at least, not usually). When you write about what you had for (insert meal of your choice), it's probably not going to be shmoopy.
To take your example, there is a lot that can be said about a trip to the science museum -- details of the lightning show, other interesting exhibits, if there is anything new since your last visit, etc -- of which holding hands while watching the lightning show is the only shmoopy bit. Heck, if shmoopy was all there was to the visit to the science museum, why bother going?
I don't believe in One True Soulmates, as there are Many Potential Soulmates. Tim Minchin has a song about it (If I Didn't Have You). So anyone giving you grief because they say you'll never find your One True Soulmate -- and thus denying your bi-poly-switch-and-not-sleeping-with-you nature -- they need to bugger off and let you be shmoopy with your Harem of Soulmates.
