Writing About Love

Love is an action, a hope, a longing, an excitement, an adventure, a thrill, something to look forward to, something to share. Love is about togetherness, uniqueness, beauty, and grace. Love is also about sadness, disappointment, anger, the need for privacy, and misunderstanding. So all these things may be taken into consideration when writing love poems and love letters. Not everything you write needs to be shared. Sometimes just the act of writing itself can be helpful. But if you think you want to share your love writings, then use lots of specific details and sensory descriptions. Exaggerate. Embellish. Really go all out. Use your experiences and your imagination together to build and create some awesome love writings. Make stuff up. Let yourself just make stuff up. It won't be easy at first because most of you are inclined to want to tell only the truth, but you have to elevate your writing to a new level when writing to or for a loved one. And remember that your love writing might be shared with others someday. Good writing always is.
