Greatest Love Stories - Romance Writers Weekly - #lovechatwrite

I’ve been MIA on the blogging front the last couple of weeks. I usually prep my blog on Sundays, and the last couple of weekends have been busy with Easter, and then something called QuizMe. My “pay-the-bills” job is TV production manager, and one of the programs we do is a Jeopardy-style quiz show for Grade 7 students in our area. We record 15 half-hour episodes in three days, and those three days were last week. That being said, I was a tad bit busy. If you’re interested in seeing what it looks like, the previous season is available to view online here.

28 years ago on May 25, 1991. I think I was happy that day!

Anyway – enough of that! Time to move on to this week’s Blog Hop! J.J. Devine set the topic.

One of my favorite sayings is, “Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite.” Tell me your favorite love story.

Wow – that’s a doozy of a topic! It’s like asking who is my favourite character, or choosing one book to bring to a desert island.

One of the reasons I write romantic fiction is that I love to hear how people came to together. I know of so many just from my own friends and family:

• A student nurse makes a new friend and falls in love with that friend’s cousin (my mom and dad)
• A young woman agrees to leave her tiny island home and travel thousands of miles to join a man from her village in the depths of the Northern BC wilderness, even though she knows no one there and doesn't speak the language (my parents-in-law)
• A young man decides to take out a personal ad in the paper, and when his first pick doesn’t work out moves on to his second with much more success (friends)
• Two people meet at work almost thirty-two years ago, married twenty-eight years ago, and still work side-by-side (Mr. C. and I)

There are so many wonderful love stories. Tell me yours in the comments below, and then move on to Leslie Hachtel  to read more.
