Valentine’s Day is always February 14 (in the U.S.A.). This year (2017), it is on a Tuesday.
There are hundreds, maybe a thousand ways to express your love and affection for your sweetheart or family members. We want to know your story! (The Rated PG 13 version, please!)
Here are a few prompts to get you started writing:
- Tell us about a memorable occasion when you expressed your love in some way that was out of the ordinary for you. Did you plan it or were you spontaneous? How did you feel about it afterward? How did the recipient respond?
- What about when someone demonstrated their affection for you in a manner that was different for you? Was it awkward, or wonderful?
- Can you list unique ways to say “I love you” in actions?
- How about a poem to your loved one that other’s will also appreciate.
Here are a few Valentine’s Day articles from last year to spark your creative writing:

The Good Men Project is different from most media companies. We are a “participatory media company”—which means we don’t just have content you read and share and comment on but it means we have multiple ways you can actively be a part of the conversation. As you become a deeper part of the conversation (Which really is “The Conversation No One Else is Having), you will learn all of the ways we support our Writer’s Community—community FB groups, weekly conference calls, classes in writing, editing platform building and How to Create Social Change.
