“Love, twue love.”
by Pearl R Meaker
This blog is being posted on February 14, 2017 – my 41st wedding anniversary. Still happily married after all these years.
Today is the “love holiday” and, like the movie “The Princess Bride” from which I borrowed my title, most stories have love in them somewhere along the way.
It might be love done well, or love gone wrong. Maybe love long lost and mourned, or love that is being newly sought. It can even be all of the above and more.
It may even be the self-love of the narcissist or someone who is in love with money or some other inanimate object.
Love is usually in there somewhere if only because love is in most of us. We can relate to love.
But what do you, as a writer, intend to do with love? The answer to that depends on the sort of book you’re writing, your characters and you.
