Girls Write Out
Friday, February 04, 2011
Okay girls, I need input. I'm working on an ever tightening deadline, and could use some inspiration for my romance. My female lead has had a crush on the male lead for years. He was her first true love, but she was determined to make her way in her career independently, and her career took her away from her hometown.

I need to hear about your first love. How old were you when you had your first crush? What was he like? What memories do you have?

The other night, Mel and I were watching Gilmore Girls, where one of the characters loses her mind and runs her fingers through the hair of the guy she has a crush on. She's humiliated. I told Mel I was also humiliated when I suddenly walked past Willie, the boy I liked in fourth grade, and impulsively kissed him on the cheek. Since we were supposed to be quietly studying, the whole class saw it, and the whole class laughed. Including the teacher. Poor Willie just sat there, probably trying not to wet himself. That relationship didn't end well. I learned an important lesson. Never let your first kiss be public. And ask permission first.

I could use some input, and my deadline is in ten days. Dish, girls!

I was working on the computer the other night and suddenly realized Dave was watching Sleepless in Seattle. Dave. By himself. He was chuckling and enjoying the romantic comedy he'd seen quite a few times ALL BY HIMSELF. He wasn't watching it because I said, oh stop here as he was flipping through the channels. No, this was of his own accord.

And I realized he is a romantic! My big, strong husband has such a soft side that most people don't see. He loves the romance in my books. He shows love in so many little ways like doing laundry when I'm swamped or taking me out to eat when he can tell I'm tired. He took over sending out my reader mail letters and stays on top of that every day. Sometimes he just likes to take me shopping and buy me something new. In recent years, he has started buying me jewelry. This from the man who bought me a blender for our first Christmas. LOL What's happened? Is it reading my romances? Nah, I don't think so. I think he's learned more and more how to let his soft side come out and has made learning what makes me tick his priority.

So today is appreciation day. What is the nicest thing your significant other has done for you? Or what do you wish he WOULD do? And if you have no significant other, brag on your mom or best friend.
