This Week's YA Highway Road Trip Topic: It's (the day before) Valentine's Day! Let's
jumpstart the lovefest by blogging about what you love most about writing
(and/or reading)!I'm going to totally cheat and repost the declaration of love I wrote for last year's Valentine's Day Road Trip. It covers all the things I love most about writing.
For the love of gerunds and active verbs.
For the love of idioms and twisting them about.
For the love of strong female protags who don't always play by the rules.
For the love of creating love interests who deserve the protag's attention.
For the love of cutting and slashing, saying more with less.
For the love of all the worlds and stories that live inside my head.
For the love of YA Bloggers and fans who I share this love with.
For the love of the words that make it all possible.
This is why I write.
Also, if you're in the mood for a light Valentine's Day short story, check out my Cupid's Carol HERE.
What about you? What do you love most about writing/reading?
Nicely put!!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, and yes. Perfectly said, all of it. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI think this pretty much sums it up! Also, I'm going to make a cup of tea and sit down to read Cupid's Carol as a Valentine treat. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this poem. Happy writing!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I love writing for the same reasons that you do. For the love of words that make all realities possible - allowing hope to spring, hatred to melt and love to grow. Definitely, nice poem! Keep writing!
