One Friday Thing

June 26, 2009 /

It’s been a long week. My brain is scrambled, my heart more than a little broken. But I didn’t want to leave this page blank, so here’s the “One Friday Thing” promised in the title:

All novels are love stories.

Discuss.

I’ll tell you why I think it’s true next week.

Thanks for stopping by. Now go tell your significant others “I love you” and have a good weekend.

    I want examples. I’m interested to hear your thoughts. Let’s be simple. Like if there were a great children’s stories about a doggy wanting a bone and how the doggie hunted for the bone, would the love story be between the dog and the bone?

    What about the good stories that are just lust stories?

      Good questions, Amber. I’ll address these in a Monday post. Keep in mind that it’s merely a theory-in-training. I’m hoping for some good discussion on the topic from those who disagree.

    One could argue that regardless of topic, all novels are love stories: the love between the author and his/her words, the author’s love of the story.

    Just my thoughts…

    I was thinking along the same lines as “Headless Mom.” (Love that name) But I don’t like to answer questions unless I have a good chance of getting it right 🙂
