While Lizzy is out touring the world via the query process
(she's travelling at a leisurely pace and visiting only a few agents at a
time), Mags has been making her way into her own story. She's very different
from Lizzy. Whereas Lizzy is full of angst and anger, Mags is upbeat and bubbly and sees the good in everyone. Lizzy is disengaged from life; Mags revels in it. Unfortunately, she has recently
found herself unexpectedly in a difficult situation. But, she is resilient and
resourceful. She will find a way out. I know she will.
Tentatively, this is the opening paragraph. Mags is about to
say goodbye to her childhood friends, knows that things will never be the same between them again, and she's struggling with it. So, without further ado, Dear Readers,
meet Mags.
I
love to laugh. I laugh 'til I snort like a pot-bellied pig. I know it's gross,
but I can't help it. Snorting makes me laugh all the harder until I'm bent over
with the pain and have to calm down before I die from not breathing. Yeah, I
love to laugh. But not today. There's no laughter inside me today.
Dear Mr. Falkner, I hear voice, too. And I love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat voice, Mags.
Thanks Zan Marie. She is great fun to write.
DeleteLovely character. I think there's nothing better than putting two opposites in the room so they can set each other off.
ReplyDeleteCrystal,
ReplyDeleteThank you and I agree. Contrasting characters make for interesting situations. Thanks so much for stopping by.
