How to Survive Valentine's Day as a Writer

Ah, Valentine's. A time of year that splits society down the middle: do you love it or hate it? Either way, I've compiled below a masterlist of how to enjoy (or at least survive) Valentine's Day!

1. If you're single, go out with other single friends. I've always considered Valentine's to be a day for all sorts of love--appreciate all the other great relationships you have in your life!

2. If you're in a relationship, write a romantic short story. Hopefully, after Valentine's you'll have all sorts of inspiration flowing!

3. If you're single, write a romantic short story. Wallow.

4. If you're single, stay in bed as long as possible. Get yourself yummy food for breakfast and write in your journal or write a story by hand. Start your day creatively.

5. If you're in a relationship, convince your significant other to watch your favorite Jane Austen movie, or read a few passages from your favorite novel together.

6. If you're single, get together with a single writer friend and work with them on your stories while eating something delicious and extravagant. You may not have a significant other, but that doesn't mean you aren't going places in life.

7. If you're in a relationship, buy a lot of candy. Write a story while eating said candy.

8. If you're single, buy a lot of candy. Write a story while eating said candy.

Well, there you have it friends! I tried a little bit to be humorous, but in general, these are some pretty legit suggestions. I'm not a cynic when it comes to Valentine's Day. It really is a day for all sorts of love: romantic love, platonic love, familial love, and self-love! Make the most of the day, whether dating or single!

Much love,
Kekai
