Valentine’s Day--Thaelro’s List of Lovable Things

I—Thaelro, if you’ve forgotten already—am in charge of bringing you a special Valentine’s Day post this week. I’m afraid this is in lieu of a regular post for last Saturday; Riel is busy with school work, including other parts of Project Feathers (hint, hint!).

Really, I’m not the best candidate for a Valentine’s Day post—romance and all that gushy stuff is not my thing. But there’re a lot of kinds of “love” other than the romantic kind. So, since it’s the day to commemorate lovable things, I’ve made a list of ten things that I love. Maybe you’ll find something on the list that you enjoy, too.

Thaelro’s List of Lovable Things

Love is….

1. Knowledge.

2. Making a discovery.

3. A new idea.

4. A good book.

5. A quiet, comfortable place to read.

6. Those who accept me for who I am.

7. Sharing thoughts with those I trust.

8. Tuna and milk.

9. That old book smell.

10. Clean glasses.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Remember that life is filled with all kinds of loveable things that make it worth living.

Author’s Notes:

Eldenore was the first of the griffin protagonists that I sketched out, but she also went through the most revisions. Her personality only truly fell into place after I fleshed out Benithew’s; originally she was going to be a much more arrogant character.
