interesting article on the role of sex in stories. I’d argue that it’s as valid as any other aspect of the human experience, and it’s the writer’s call as to what part it plays in a story – if any.

We’re all monsters. Find one you can love.

The discoveries of love
Nothing says love like finding out your special person is… more than a little special at the February full moon— and still keeping your Valentine’s Day date a few days later.
Valentine’s Day (and Lupercalia) planning
In 2020, the February full moon is on Sunday, February 9, so if you have a date for February 14, they’re probably not a werewolf.
Not a lunar werewolf, anyway.
(If YOU’RE the werewolf, you’ve already taken this into account on your calendar.)
Love and writing
I’ve heard the advice that if you are contemplating writing a book, you’d better REALLY be in love with it, because you are going to be living with it in your life for a long, LONG time…

A movie trailer has a character described as “pure evil.”

Choices
Marry someone you love and who thinks you being a writer’s a good idea.
