It\u2019s almost Valentine\u2019s Day, so Ann, Christy, Meredith, and Mike are honoring romance with asbestos-filled teddy bears, overpriced dinners, low-quality jewelry, and a mylar heart on a stick. We wonder, what\u2019s the point of having a day to affirm and celebrate your relationship if nobody can quite figure out what\u2019s supposed to happen? Mike shares a story from his life where the lesson he learned was \u201cjust don\u2019t try.\u201d Then, we try our hands at the self-publishing industry with our pitches for the Great American Romance Novel. From the societal expectations of the Regency, to Puritan danger, to a historical(?) 90\u2019s setting, to a modern, border-straddling \u201cmulti-cultural\u201d Canadian affair, to whatever the thing that Mike came up with is, we\u2019re re-defining literature and bringing a tingle to romance lovers everywhere. Sorry for the weird tangent about butt butter.
