Myster Murder? Uncovered secrets? Strong, investigative female character? Yes, yes, and yes! Sounds like an amazing read, I would love to read this book! :D
There was a balanced lack of cheese and sauce so I felt like I was eating flavored crust. And I hate crust. At that moment, I realized that this wasn't my thing. I stopped trying to be someone else so I could please other people, and embraced my food-loving-book-reading-kdrama- fangirling self. And you know what? I think I'm doing pretty alright.I mean, now I am shamelessly sharing my embarrassing stories online to random people! Thank you Christine Bell for the laugh, together we shall embrace our awkwardness. Oh, and I can't wait to get a hold of your book !!:D
OMG that was hilarious I have tears in my eyes XD. My reinvention story is a bit embarrassing, but I'll share it since yours made me laugh so much! So, when I was in eighth grade, all the cool kids used to do a sport of some kind. I did not play sports (except for that horrible time in fourth grade my father made me play soccer and I scored more than four goals in the wrong goal, trampled someone with my cleats so hard they laid on the ground in shock holding their hand and sobbing, all while keeping an eye on the drinks cooler like it was my child because, if the didn't have kool-aid I don't know what I would have done). So yeah, other than that, I had no sports experience. Then, I had this amazingly intelligent idea to join cross country! You know, where they run eight miles in the rain for fun, "just to get your heart moving". I am not a sports girl. I am a stay- at-home-watch-kdramas-read-a-ton-of-books kind of girl. I don't know what made me think that I was a run-around- until-you-taste-blood kind of person. It's an admirable thing, I promise. I salute all of you who find pleasure in such activities,but I do not. I joined the cross country team with the delusional thought that I could be a cool kid. This was a disaster. First of all, I pretty much wore pajamas as a running suite. I thought this was completely okay. This is like, rainbow-plaid baggy pants and a T-shirt about cookies and milk. I am cringing as I write this. Secondly, I absolutely suck at running. At this point of my life, I have barely even run a mile. On the first day, the coach announced "okay everyone! stretch and then a 3 mile warm up!" My brain was like !#$@#% and my heart was like !#$#@%$ and my curly hair was like \\//\/\/\/\/\//! As you can imagine, this season did not go well. I was the last runner on every work out and I did not even remotely enjoy it. The pizza party at the end of the year wasn't even that great. There
You literally put two of the best things together- books and food. I also LOVE Halloween stories, so I am SO looking forward to reading your book. Thanks a bunch!!
Thank you for this advice! These are my favorite traits of writing- of course a great plot and amazing use of literary devices are outstanding, but what is any of that if the author cannot portray these? Many authors do not realize that the simple way to a readers heart is authenticity. I really appreciate your take on writing, which makes me very excited to read your new book!
