Win some (teen?) romance books at the Book Muncher by submitting your own Valentine poem: 20 lines or less. Here's mine:
Ode to My Valentine
Oh sweetest berry, thou has ripened well,
Summer’s blossom has made thee taste like ambrosia,
Thy juice is as dark and rich as the finest wine,
I kiss thee once and yearned,
Thou has tantalized my every sense,
Ardently I seek thy secret pleasures,
I vow to cherish thee and make thee cheery,
Wouldst you love me, oh sweetest berry,
And be my Valentine?
In other news, it's tough being a writer. Lots of romance writers experience what is known at "genre shame" and they shouldn't. Look at the statistics - more romance is bought than all the rest of the genre choices out there. If you make it as a romance author that's definitely something to brag about.
Who's more romantic? Men or women?
From The Times:
Yes, and they put their dignity and their reputations at risk for it, writes Oliver Roberts.
Women get so offended when you say that men are the more romantic sex, when, really, they should feel complimented by it.
What do you say about that?
Review Highlight:
My Friend Amy poses an very different view than more people have about assigned reading. I'm with her about 90% of the way and then I remember... Tess of D'Ubervilles... (scroll to bottom to read my comment.)
Happy February! Go Superbowl teams! (That's right I don't care who wins lol)
