Week #10 Check-in

The end of Week 10 is upon us!

How's it been for you? Have the words been hotter than Fahrenheit 451, or has The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms gotten in the way? Here's your chance to tell everybody about it, whether you're a weekly or monthly (or anything in between) W1S1 participant.

If you've managed to write a story and submit a story, shout it from the rooftops. Yahoo! If you've had something W1S1-related accepted, tell us so we can add you to the Write1Sub1 Hall of Fame. But if stuff has interfered with your writing and every reply has been a rejection, let us know that too so we can commiserate. We're all in this together.

This year we have cool forms for reporting your acceptances and paid publications. Thanks to Jeff Chapman for the design work.

Please report ONLY accepted/published stories that you wrote as part of your participation in W1S1 (2011-2014).

(Please note that reports will not immediately appear, as they must be verified/processed by the weekly moderator) 

 While W1S1 continues to encourage all avenues for publication, we want to especially highlight those stories and markets that help to put protein-rich snacks in a writer's fridge. (Please note that reports will not immediately appear, as they must be verified/processed by the weekly moderator)

Even if you have no acceptance or publication news to report, please update us on your week's progress in the comments. Successes and failures, triumphs and disasters, brilliant ideas and insane dreams: we want to read all about them.

And if you've had something W1S1-related published this month that you're particularly proud of, add its title and URL to the widget as well. We'll be sure to check it out!

What is Love?

As Haddaway famously said back in 1993. We're all familiar with romantic, ooey-gooey love that populates Harlequin romance novels, but love can come in a variety of forms. There is... (thank you Wikipedia)

Eros – a passionate physical and emotional love based on aesthetic enjoyment; stereotype of romantic love

Ludus – a love that is played as a game or sport; conquest; may have multiple partners at once

Storge – an affectionate love that slowly develops from friendship, based on similarity (kindred to Philia)

Pragma – love that is driven by the head, not the heart; undemonstrative; pragmatic love with the purpose of achieving a common goal, as in a coalition

Mania – obsessive love; experience great emotional highs and lows; very possessive and often jealous lovers

Agape – selfless altruistic love

There is also “platonic love”—a love of the mind rather than the body.  “Puppy love” is where a younger person may infatuate on an older, mentor-like individual.  And we can’t forget the love between a parent and a child.

So what types of love populate your stories? 

And Happy Valentine’s Day!
