About This Newsletter

A banner for the Romance/Love newsletter.

I believe the core of most of us women is very simple. We want to feel appreciated, acknowledged, and something as simple as flowers with a little note or some love letters goes a long way. – Yolanda Hadid


When I really discovered who God was and had a firm relationship with him my junior year of college, I journaled constantly. All day long. I had boxes of journals. They were really just love letters to God, just thanking him and praying out loud and telling him my desires. – Ainsley Earhardt


November is the heart of Autumn. It’s National Novel Writing Month. I’m sending good vibes for success for all who attempt this daunting task. The last time I did NaNoWriMo was in 2014. I wish I could try it again this year. Maybe I will so I can finish a project. Haha! I better get on it. Feel free to share your projects for the next newsletter.

Veterans Day and American Thanksgiving fall in November as well.

Thanksgiving is about Turkey and who doesn’t love Turkey? Maybe my next NL I’ll gush over my turkey love. This month though, I thought I’d look at letters and how it ties into Veterans Day.

November 11, 1918, the waring parties in World War I laid down their weapons and called an Armistice. It was the war to end all wars, (sadly, that didn’t happen) The intent was to honor those military personal who came home – the veterans. In 1954, Armistice day became Veterans day.

Until recently, letters to soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors were the only way to keep in touch. Those on the battlefield treasured their love letters.

Letter from the editor

Probably the oldest love letter known to man is the Song of Solomon from the Bible:
Behold you are beautiful, my love,
Behold you are beautiful.
Your eyes are doves.



Come the early Renaissance, letters took on a literary form. They became discreet correspondence during the Age of Chivalry and allowed the writer to express their feelings in a sensible manner.

Some famous love letter writers include Napoleon to Josephine. – “A few days ago I thought I loved you; but since I last saw you feel I love you a thousand times more.”

Beethoven to his Immortal Beloved – “Even in bed, my ideas yearn towards you, my Immortal Beloved, here and there joyfully, and then sadly, awaiting from fate, if it will listen to us.”

Zelda to Scott Fitzgerald – Darling, I love these velvet nights.

Throughout history, these letters have done the following: given us a glimpse into society, highlighted important events and expressions, as well as communication styles.

The best letters do the following:
Show tenderness, charm, and humor, by drawing on memories to set a mood and tone.
They celebrate independence and strength.
They show how one’s love has evolved.
Express how much the writer cares for another.
Speaks highly of the receiver’s attributes.
Are true to the writer

With the dawn of texting and emails, writing a handwritten letter is a past art (much like cursive). I’d like to pose a challenge for the next newsletter:

Write a love letter using one of the following prompts and it will be featured in my DEC Romance/Love Newsletter.

1. Write a letter from a young woman writing to her lover on the battlefield in World War 1.
2. Write a letter from a sailor in the Pacific during World War II to his sweetheart.
3. Write a letter from a Union soldier to his Confederate lover.

FEEDBACK FROM MY ROMANCE/LOVE NL DATED: 6 OCT 2021:

Nixie🦊 Author IconMail Icon
My Paranormal stories usually involve a human with supernatural abilities. I don't find inspiration in writing about vampires and such. That said, this series is considered Urban fiction, where the 'terra indigene rule the world. There's a subtle attraction between the protagonist and a terra indigene wolf. I've read book one five times. The other books weren't that interesting.

I read so few romance novels that I have forgotten the authors. I get an idea at times from this news letter, an idea for love poetry that I write.

I’d love it if you could share it for the next newsletter!

Great newsletter, Steph! I enjoy reading paranormal stories, but can't recall any specific favorites.

Thanks for reading!
