What better time to write about love than during Valentine celebration week. Look at all the choices you have. There's boy-girl romantic love, the love of family members, the love of certain foods, love of your country, and many others.
There are even different kinds of love in each of those mentioned. The boy-girl/man-woman kind of love can produce sizzling, sexy stories, or the simple coming of age love stories. Or even the quiet love stories of those in a longtime marriage.
Parents love their children and vice-versa. Siblings, even though bickering at times usually love one another. I didn't realize how much I loved my three younger brothers until two of them passed away.
If you love specific foods, you can probably write a love story about whatever it happens to be. Or a poem--An Ode to ...!
When we feel deeply about our country, we can surely write an essay about out patriotism. You might write an essay about the love and joy gardening gives you. Or quilting or writing or painting!
Your 'love stories' can be warm and fuzzy, or they might be funny, or deeply serious. As writers, we are in charge of what kind of story to write. On a Monday, you might feel like writing a serious love story, but on Wednesday, you might be in the mood for a funny tale.
As I've said about so many things in our writing world, 'It's your choice.' Isn't that wonderful? You're not meant to heed rules and regulations about what you write.
I wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day. Give some thought about what you can write about this annual day of love, cupids, chocolates, and flowers. Or about some other kind of love as written above. Wear a big smile as you write about someone or something you love!
