So, dear reader, what do you think, did I catch your attention? If you read that opening page standing in the bookstore would you turn the page and keep reading or would you set the book back down ont eh shelf right were you found it?
Oh how those college years were the woe of my existence, but now the food of my writing. As I have been penning my two most recent novels I can definitely see how the events that have a basis in real life make for a better story. The dramatization and enhancements flow so easily when I remember that look upon my roommates face as we all ate ice cream after her first kiss. Or how quickly six of us would run through a box of tissues as we cried with her after being dumped and then ridiculed the sorry specimen of a man who would dare to hurt her feelings.
February 2007 was a cold winter that I stayed indoors much of. Snuggled into large blankets at the edge of the couch with my laptop logged onto one of my favorite sites, the Derbyshire Writer’s Guild.
Hi I’m Emma Hox, and I’m addicted to Pride and Prejudice. How long do you ask, well at this point in life it has been longer than it has not been. It’s a rather interesting tale really, one that I would like to share with you.
