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.

Karin, I'm so jealous you're going to the ballet of Romeo and Juliet. I've never seen it but I would love to. Thanks for the info about "For the Love of Love." I'm going to pop over and check it out. I sounds really neat!
Oh, I'm so excited! I've been looking forward to this for months. I was starting to get a little worried, though, because with the husband out of town, it was somewhat difficult to find someone who wanted to go with. (Too bad you don't live in KC!) But Mom stepped in to save the day at the last minute. ;)
The Kauffmann Center is brand new -- really a state-of-the-art place to see a performance like this. It should be a great evening.
Thanks so much, by the way, for helping to build the story on HoF! I should probably add another few lines before Terri finishes it this weekend...
I noticed you started a FB page for Twin Souls - very exciting.
And yes, "For the Love of Love" should be a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Thanks so much for posting about 'For the Love of Love' Karin! Your post will be up on 22nd and it's set to be a really great day!
I too am very jealous about the ballet - I hope it's wonderful!
All the best,
Donna
You're very welcome, Donna!
Thank you for asking me to participate.
I enjoyed the first round of posts on 'passionate love' yesterday, and look forward to all the upcoming posts as well.
