The Season of Love Continues!

As the Season of Love Blog Party continues in the blogging world, a season of love has been blossoming in my own life. And no, I don't mean I've found the love of my life yet! ;)

The love I'm referring to is from two sources--the manuscript I'm working on, and North and South. I'm over halfway done writing my work-in-progress, which is an historical romance set in 1885 in the American West. My current steady writing schedule has put these characters on my mind more, and oh, I do love them so! I'm so grateful that God gives us stories. I hope someday in the not-to-distant future, if it is God's will, I might be able to share this story of my heart with all of you. If or when that time comes, I hope you love these characters as much as I do!

As for North and South, last night I re-visited this beautiful movie, although I only watched the first part. I'm looking forward to hopefully watching more soon! Since we're celebrating love all this week, I couldn't resist showing you some pictures of the handsome Mr. Thornton! *Sigh.* I do so love this movie!

Back to the blogging world, I just wanted to remind you that the blog party continues today over at Casey's blog, Writing for Christ, with an author interview and giveaway! Hope to see you there!

*Update: Today (Thursday) hop on over to Hannah's blog for a fun guide to celebrating Valentine's Day as a single woman! With great music and an awesome giveaway, you won't want to miss it!*

I'll be sending you an e-mail soon! Thank you for all those who stopped by to join the discussion and the party! I hope you had fun!

Now, I must say that I cannot write anything more. I know I ought to do my "Sunday by the Sea" post, which I think I still might because I've been inspired by what I've read of MaryLu Tyndall's book Surrender the Heart, and I think I have a verse that I would like to share, too.

However, I just finished watching North & South, and I am in a state of bliss. The movie enthralled me, moved me, and drew me in so deeply that I simply want to savor the last memory of it and the last strains of haunting, beautiful music echoing through my mind. Perhaps I will be able to write more later . . .
