This week it's all about love. We'll continue our exploration of styles by looking at the out and out love song. Yep it's time to pluck the old heartstrings, if they're still in tune.

So we're going to do the  standard love song except I don't want it to be standard I want a surprise in it (sinister or otherwise) to come at the end that will make us, as the readers/listeners, jump in astonishment. I realize most of the songs we write are love songs but we do couch them in other terms.  Be more blatant with this assignment but that's not a license to forget the other principles of the SSG -

imagery;

show me don't tell me; and

avoid cliches.

Good writing
