Romeo and Juliet has me thinking, once again, about Epic Love, a topic I wrote about on this blog some time ago. Epic Love continues to be one of the most visited posts on this site. I may return to the topic of Epic Love next week on Heroines of Fantasy. I would definitely like to write something about love; we'll see what the muse inspires.
In the mean time, this week on Heroines of Fantasy Terri-Lynne DeFino has invited us to rewrite the story of Valentine and his true love Adalaide. I have to admit, we're off to a kind of rocky start. Last time we did a group story, it worked out really well. But this week everyone seems to have a different story in mind; and it's not always clear that any given set of phrases is following from what was written previously. I'm going to blame this on a syndrome Costa Ricans would call malenamorado -- We must all be distracted, in a bad way, by love. Please stop by and help us straighten out our love story.
Speaking of love-related events, I've been invited to participate in a celebration of love on the blog of Terri Giuliano. From February 14th through the 22nd, more than forty authors will post on her site about various topics related to love. Guests will share their thoughts on love and family, friends and animals; on passionate and contented love; on love of food, music, language and writing. I will be up with my own post on February 22.
Visit Terri Giuliano's “For the Love of Love” event to vote on your favorite posts and have a chance of winning a unique prize: one voter will be chosen to have a character named after them in Terri’s next book! Two runners up will also win signed copies of Terri Giuliano Long’s bestselling novel, In Leah’s Wake.
That's the news for the moment. I hope you are all having a lovely week.
