Love List!

Recently while on Jaye Robin Brown's blog, she featured Love Lists, a list of things you love about your book to hone your focus during the ups and downs of the writing experience. Love Lists were originally created by Natalie Whipple (read more on her blog). I had heard about Love Lists a long time ago, and Jaye refreshed my memory, and I fell back in love with the concept. Anyways, I thought it'd be fun to share mine for my latest WiP. Share some of yours in the comments below, or do your own post and let me know! Hope everyone's having a kick-ass weekend so far!

  • White stag
  • Time travel
  • Golden bows
  • A kiss beneath a fall of stars
  • Computer hacker/finder of lost children
  • Astral hounds
  • Masquerade ball
  • Countless dimensions
  • Airships and flying cities
  • A dead tree and the daughters of Death
  • Horses with purple eyes
  • Lunar base
  • Dragon fire bond
  • Unexpected betrayals
  • Ever-changing sky
  • Harp music
  • Forest through the eyes of a silver fox
  • Clocks
  • The horned Ferryman
  • The Seeker and the Huntress

P.S. - If you love my love list, I'd love for someone(s) to read my first couple chapters and provide honest feedback. I'll swap crits with ya. So much love :)

  1. Great idea! Feel free to send some chapters my way any time . . . I'm busy with the book release on the 28th, but I can take some time to look at the first 20 pgs or so (and more later if you want).

  4. Okay, this is a GREAT idea! Completely without thought or revision:
    tears
    a smile
    a cross at the base of his neck
    regret
    a motorcycle
    a Halloween costume
    stars eaten whole by clouds
    bluffs
    a park she's never entered
    lifeless cornflower blue eyes
    a jewelry store
    a check for $126
    good-bye
    hello
    a funeral
    a wedding
    27 daisies

    um, too long?

    anyways. THANKS for this. i'll swap 15 pages if you still want another reader. i'll be able to do more in February, too.

    Christy (remember me?)

  8. Hello, my friend! Oh my goodness, I am finally back on the blog for the first time in ages, and I realized I never responded to your comment on my New Year's post. My heart just dropped at the thought you are going through the same thing I went through in 2012, so please let me know if you ever want to chat or vent or anything. I am HERE for you, and I am sending good energy your way!!
