In honor of Valentine''s Day, how about creating your own romance novel cover, featuring YOU!

Shiny oiled chest and long flowing Fabio styled locks are not required, but welcomed!

Click here and have fun!

 

[monarch64]

Ha!

I may have to actually play around with this some more and give DH a framed copy for Valentine''s Day. Here''s my trial run, LOL!

 

[Sparkalicious]

This is great ... Thanks for posting it Equestrienne!

 

[monarch64]

What?! No one else is going to join in on this???

 

[OUpearlgirl]

Hahah so goofy!

 

[monarch64]

That''s adorable Oupeargirl!!! You guys are such a lovely couple!

I guess we''re the only ones silly enough to post our covers....tsk, tsk.

 

[OUpearlgirl]

[princesss]

Okay, I''ve got to do it. I feel like I''m exposing myself a little (I know for a fact my mom''s a lurker) but this is too funny not to post!

Lynn, that is so sweet that you and hubby have been together since you were 18!!! Cute book!

Eta: I love all the books, they are soooo cute! It was funny because I thought this thread was about how to actually write a romance novel, lol!

I couldn''t get my picture to load yet, but somethingshiny, you are cracking me up!

How much time do you spend watching soap operas each day??? Aww...come on, be honest, we won''t tell!

(I''m just jealous...I think I could''ve written some of those myself!

)

 

[monarch64]

SS...the "nothing on but the radio" somehow reminds me of that song "Ain''t Misbehavin''" LOL! Your title ideas are FABULOUS! If that doesn''t inspire anyone, I don''t know what would.

Actually, I''ve never read a romance novel, or watched a soap opera. My inspiration is from everyday life

Oh, gosh! And here I sit reading my trashy romances whenever I can, catch the soaps on my vacations, and here you are actually LIVING it!!!

Maybe you and DKS can join together and start writing novels...you make up the raunchy titles and DKS can make up the rest!

 

[somethingshiny]

HA HA HA!

I actually do a bit of um, "writing" myself.

And, those are the tame titles. I didn't think some were appropriate for posting...


But, I've added a new Pirate themed title...."Land Ho!"

And, another one..." A Camper's Guide: Including, How to Pitch a Tent and Where to Lay Your Wood"

 

[somethingshiny]

Ahem, I apologize in advance.

"She Makes it Easy to Go Down Hard"

"As Long As You''re Looking Back"

both of these are for those who''ve been loved and lost.

 

[Harleigh]

O.M.G.! I''m seriously dying over here!

Must.go.get.something.done.between.your.posts!

I need to make a promise to myself to not check it again until I actually go accomplish something!

(So keep ''em coming so I have something to look forward to, will ya?

)

 

[monarch64]

OK, now I don''t feel so bad that my novel had the words "trash, filth, and lust" in it....LOL!!!!

 

[somethingshiny]

"Slippery When Wet--A Traveler's Guide"

"Navigating Brazil--For the First Time Explorer"

"Coming up Twin Peaks" (another for the traveling enthusiast)



and a Not so romantic - "who moved my cheese?"

ETA--

"Doggie Styling - A Groomer's Companion"

"Ropin' and Ridin'" (obviously for the Equestrian)

 

[Harleigh]

Could you just start a thread solely for my entertainment?

Seriously snortin'' over here!

Maybe my creative juices will start flowing by morning!

Thanks for sharing your creative genius with us, ss!
