Q. 6 #momswritersclub I can't be the only one who thinks about how my characters would celebrate holidays. What would your MC give their SO for Valentine's Day?

She'd whip up a simple but romantic home-cooked dinner. He, on the other hand, would give her expensive diamond jewelry, and she'd tell him he should have saved the money for something they truly need! #MomsWritersClub
Fun question! She’d stress out about it then bake him something that won’t turn out quite right. They’d laugh. Then he’d take her on a walk so they could reminisce about events from the story and tell her something deep and swoony. We’d be left wondering if he pantsed or planned the whole thing.
M: Books! I write characters who like books -very on brand for me :-). T: Mélanie Rannoch struggles to find presents for Malcolm, but she'd try to find a 1st edition or something Shakespeare-related. Malcolm gives Mélanie R jewelry. Maybe something that relates to her latest play. #momswritersclub
Full disclosure, I celebrate very few holidays. I feel like if you care about something, it should just be a part of your life. That said, I rarely even acknowledge holidays in my books. I have 2 that take place in a period over Christmas and don’t even mention it (and that’s MY fave!).

Emma would forget/procrastinate until the last minute but then get him something useful that he wouldn’t think to get himself.
Liam would build Emma a garden and fill it with her favorite plants.
