MadLoves

I don’t know if you’ve picked up on this by now, but I’m not much a romance writer. Like, if my readers get one smooch by book’s end, they should really consider themselves lucky. Things tend to get about as steamy as a banana split.

But still, I like to do something for Valentine’s day around here, even if it’s just to make fun of myself. So because I have the maturity of an emotionally-stunted middle schooler, here are some MadLibs to pass the time. Or, as I like to call them, MadLoves.

Seriously, these are so dumb, but my kids had fun with them, so enjoy! And until next week, happy writing!
