What I should be doing is working on my first book. What I’m doing instead is dreaming up scenes for my second book.

"But I don't like the ending/the character/the plot point. I would have done it differently."

Yes. Good. Go get a pen. This is where it begins.

Why is the hardest part of writing a book not the actual writing, but writing a blurb? Capturing the essence of your story, with all the characters and complex relationships, in only a couple hundred words, without spoiling anything major.

Annabelle's Diary: Prologue

This is a small collection of shorts I'm going to do to introduce you to the main character of my book, His Obsession. Enjoy learning more about Annabelle, a character I have very much enjoyed writing.

I have to stand on my toes to reach the high parts of my small apartment. I knock down a letter, one that was probably put up there by Mama before she died. the letter is in a bright red envelope with the words WARNING inked on it. I flip it open. It's a letter reminding us to pay our debts. I scoff. Fat lot of good that did, Mama still died. I pull a chair up to the cupboards and stand on it. That's better, I can reach now. I still have to stand on my toes, and I can't see on the top, but it's enough to dust it. A cloud of dust blooms into the air and I cough, waving it away from my face, before resuming my dusting.

At the end of the cupboard, my hand hits something. I nudge it to the edge and barely avoid it as it almost falls on my head. It's a book. I pick it up and smile. It's a dusty notebook, but brushing off the dust reveals handdrawn flowers and hearts. They've dulled over time and have smudged from all the crying I did back then, but there's no doubt it's the diary I started writing after Mama died. I tuck it under my mattress. I'm probably going to live a long time, I'll probably go through another event where I'll need something to vent to, and it's not like I'll ever have friends. For now, it'll be a piece of Mama that remains with me.
