I agree 100% on the love theme (hence the title of my blog: Love Stories). I may end up writing a variety of genres, but love will always play a major role. Sadly, many romance novels are not really romantic. I find better *love* stories in YA for some reason, so that’s where I’m at. So glad you are, too!

It’s true there are all sorts of love that will cause one to die for the other. Passionate love, love of country. It’s this raw passion that’s at the heart of a good story, and really defines us:) I love Eliott and Jules…50% so far….[of course, I’m sorta partial to the name Elliott : oh, yeah…and I have a new blog now! http://www.laurasmagicday.wordpress.com ~:)

I have been married almost twenty years, and I have never been happier. I think one of the hardest parts to today’s social networking is that we never connect deeply enough to become close friends. Thanks for the ideas.

I agree totally with you on this week’s post, I’m such a hopeless romantic myself… I think your expressed your point perfectly and if I were writing this post I would only add one more type of love, the love of oneself. I think you started to hint at this with your, ‘they don’t know they’re worth jumping out of planes for’ phrase.

If kids today loved themselves more, especially females, they would not abuse themselves with drugs and other harmful substances and they most certainly not allow others to abuse and take advantage of them.

It is sad how teens today are really missing the concept of true love, but maybe our stories can help shed some light on the subject…

Looking forward to your next post!

It’s that thing that makes the world go ’round :) And I was seriously just thinking about the other day…I love how empowered girls are in today’s YA literature, but I’m missing the rescue by the boy who’s head-over-heels for her….she doesn’t have the rescue herself…and him EVERY TIME. lol

Great post Fisher! :)
