I am SO excited to be working with the FNC-I can't believe that 2 years have already passed and we've all made so much progress! Things are about to get very exciting since Donna, Janine and I are prepping for the Query Wars--btw did you see Donna's awesome snippet from Tuesday?
Ok--so here's mine! BTW anybody who also follows me at my other blog Frankie Writes knows that I've recently been struggling with what to call my WIP--it's gone from The Seven Sisters Brandywine to Brandywine to Rose Lily to STOLEN at the moment.
So here's an excerpt from STOLEN:
----Sorry guys, I've removed this excerpt as I'm going to be querying my novel shortly---
Why I Write?
I write because I absolutely have to, because I feel compelled to, because I have this feeling deep down in my heart and in the pit of my stomach that this was what I was meant to do and because I have this story to tell that came to me in a dream and if I don't tell it I don't think I'll ever be at peace. I write because its the thing I LOVE to do more than anything else in the world. I write, because that's just what I do.
:-)
I must read this book. *pokes* I must read, I must read.

ReplyDeleteOoh, very nice! Tension, a little romantic angst, action, character notes. Well done, good lady.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm discovering these days that I also write because I have to. It's not a choice anymore. I need it.
Thank you, Simon!!
