Love Letters: A lost art?

Romance Writers Weekly with coffe cup underneath and a mocha foam heart in cupThe question on RWW this week is one I asked our authors.  Love Letters: Have you received any or written any? Has any of your characters written or received any? Share if you dare or make up one to a special someone.

In this modern day of social media, love letters seem to be on the route to extinction like the dinosaurs.  I met my future husband before he was due to leave town on a two week training with his employer.  This was back in the day before cell phones or e-mail.  Below is a copy of the snail mail letter I received while he was gone. It’s the closest thing to a love letter I’ve ever received. The year and his name were omitted to protect the innocent. 🙂

Although social media keeps us connected, it doesn’t usually inspire an environment for love letters. Also, a classic love letter used to be handwritten adding to the personal touch. Fonts can be so cold.

While researching for this post, I found Napoleon to be a naughty boy in one his love writings, mentioning his wife’s “dark forest” and firm breasts.  While Richard Burton alluded to Elizabeth Taylor’s “special and dangerous loveliness.” Whatever that might have meant. 😉

Instead of shooting a miss you text to your nearest and dearest, next time why not text them a handwritten note as a  picture! It may not be a true love letter, but it will be personal! Hope you have already visited Jenna Da Sie and will go on to visit Leslie Hachtel for their take on love letters.

What’s Your Must See 2018 Summer Movie?

Romance Writers Weekly with coffe cup underneath and a mocha foam heart in cupThis week on RWW, Jenna Da Sie asks, “Have you seen any good movies this summer? Write a review of one you saw. If you haven’t seen one, tell which one you want to see.” Hope you’ve already visited Leslie Hachtel.

This is up my ally.  I love movies!  I’ve been an action movie junkie  since a double feature Bond flick at the age of ten. More recently I’ve become a Marvel fan in part thanks to the heroes portrayal by the hunkiest actors in Hollywood.

Back to Jenna’s question of the summer movie I most want to see…Summer is flying by and I’ve only seen Deadpool 2 in May. It had some surprises, some sad and some happy. I love Ryan Reynolds in a comedic role. Deadpool’s  raunchy, humor, puns and innuendos  fulfills my sarcastic side.

Back to the action must haves… Mission Impossible. I need to see Tom Cruise jumping the building where he breaks his leg and continues to finish the scene.  That’s giving your all.  And as a special forces fan, I want to see him doing a real Halo jump.  Respect.

I could go on, but let’s hear Brenda Margriet’s  must see summer flicks!
