I know nearly everyone in the world now has an opinion on the books. It's turned into "Marmite" you love it or you hate it. I know a lot of writers enjoy bashing it and I find that to be a little disappointing. Yes everyone is entitled to an opinion but when you're a writer I think a little tact is called for before you call out another writer and tell them how terrible their work is.
But all of that is really beside the point. I admire E.L. James for what she has created. She has certainly done something right in my book to have legions of fans hanging on her every word and dying to know if she will write another book, or who will star in the movie.
For me I want to write love stories that people can fall in love with. I'm a huge fan of romance. I adore the Twilight books even though they have been slated too. But for me it is the love story. The can't eat, can't sleep without having him near feeling. It's about the "need" you feel deep in your soul that if this person went away you'd simply cease to exist. And I know how cliched it sounds but the feeling of complete and perfect happiness you have when he slips his hand into yours and squeezes it gently. That for me is what I love about these types of romances and books. It's the feelings I want to evoke in mine. That beautiful feeling of falling in love. The fear and excitement as you take that final step over the edge hoping and praying that he is there to catch you when you fall...
*Sigh* I'm having a ramble now :) I get a little lost sometimes in my own thoughts.
But coming back to my original idea. Love them or hate them 50 Shades has created something and the romantic in me is dying to find out what it is. On my search through the internet I came across a fan made trailer. I have developed a slight obsession with it now and I've watched it quite a bit. But I really like it. It gives me tingles when I watch it and I don't know why. So I want to share it with you...
Have a wonderful day,
Millie
