At the pub after Writers' Group last night, Daliso said that he'd read, heard, found out somewhere that there are five ways people usually show love. We all have our different ways.
1) Words. We tell someone we love them, talk about it.
2) Actions. We do things for the one we love. Do the food shop, wash up...
3) Gifts. Flowers and jewellry and clothes and kittens...
4)Time. We spend time with our loved one. We don't rush off, we don't find something else to do, we're not all the time at work.
5) Touch. We brush our hand over their hair, face, arm, leg, hold hands, cuddle,kiss.
What do I do? What do you do? Daliso said we should try using them all. At once? Is that overkill or complete love? Will think about this. And my characters. What does it show about Lizzy if she does none of these? If Jez is action led? Andrew wants to be touch but his wife hates that? I'm talking about Erosion. So good to be working on this fully now, but also right now, it's the summer holidays and the needs of the many...
