After I told him I was going to go ahead and write a book about it, he insisted on certain elements that - though I fear they may be cliche - I hope he enjoys when the finished product hits his table.

I love the feeling of falling in love, and of discovering with immense awe, that the love is requited! There's no better feeling! And writing romance novels and stories allows me to feel that jolt of joy often. <br /><br />As for your parents laughing at your early stories, I used to sit on the front stoop where I'd set up my Barbie houses, in the summer, and my Barbies were exotic spies who had jet-setting romances with dashing men from all over the world. My mom told me she used to stuff her fist into her mouth while she stood right inside the door, because she didn't want me to hear her laughing at my outlandish ideas of what love and sex were supposed to be like! Hopefully that's not the way readers react to my books!Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-71351494050578854682018-08-19T21:05:58.724-07:002018-08-19T21:05:58.724-07:00I loved your growth and path to becoming a writer,...I loved your growth and path to becoming a writer, and loved Virginia, the Girl of the Golden West.Beverley Batemanhttp://www.beverleybateman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-83757465413956672572018-08-19T14:32:57.362-07:002018-08-19T14:32:57.362-07:00Hah - a story-boarder!

What a great beginning you give them. We have an annual family week summer vacation that always includes campfires every night and sometimes we have round robin stories. Each kid gets to start the story, but just a couple sentences, then it goes around the campfire with each person adding a little more to the story.
