During the course of our life, we don’t necessarily think about it but we look for that one special someone. Many times when we do find someone it leaves holes in our hearts and part of our life empty when things don’t work out.
We don’t think like soldiers. Maybe we should and we might have something that would leave our hearts in tack. Go into the “war” with guns blazing and take out everything that stands in your way. Of course, it doesn’t always work like that when you join the war and your partner doesn’t.
When you look at the battlefield, you’ll see that there are so many wounded and so few to pick up the pieces. If you’re one of the lucky ones that have found their better half, cherish it and give it your all. It might be the only chance you get.
For all the wonderful authors, let’s stop this war and continue to bring all the lonely hearts some loving through our work. We write for the enjoyment but think of all those people that wish the man in your book…was theirs. You’ve made a lonely heart become a loving heart just by bringing your characters to life.
I hope everyone is having an awesome day and may love find their way to you, if not in real life but through our books.

Great post. Reminds me of the old Pat Benatar song “Love is a Battlefield” and yes, you’re right…it’s nice to imagine we can bring happiness, love and happy ever after’s to our readers. Lord knows there isn’t enough of that stuff in the real world.

Thanks a million Regina. The song actually inspired me to write this. Well, also because my next book is titled “Battlefield of Love” and the song “Love is a Battlefield” was on my mind when I initially had the idea for my next book. LOL
Very true Regina. Today’s life it seems revolves around one night stands and a quick f*uck int he back of the club or something. There are so few true romantics left in this world and even their spirits are being broken down when they look at what’s happening around them.
It makes those romantics, myself included, look around and think “Why even bother when this is all there is?” and that isn’t true at all. There is someone for you out there! Keep your head up and don’t let the nasty real world get to you. Until Mr or Mrs right comes along…indulge in fantasy

There’s never enough love in the world. If there was, there’d be no wars and no slums and no criminals.
Great post, Leiland!
