Dear best friend,

I understand what you mean about breaking the law… though some of my characters had to break “rules,” to help someone that was being kidnapped. I think in that respect, it is warranted. If your characters were getting in trouble for bad reasons or selfish reasons, it could be interesting but I can also understand why you want to recreate it if it’s morally objectionable.

I can appreciate why you want to make the beginning more playful and start it off with the tone of a romantic comedy. That is such a perfect idea and I love those. How long do you think the Michaela & Noah novel will be? I believe my Bexley sequel will be at least 60,000. My first Bexley was almost 70,000, so I am still developing the world.

I’d like to be your chef. I love cutting up fresh fruits and veggies it’s a weird thing I like to do! It’s an ASMR thing, possibly Lol. But, I also like to carve raw red meat so… lol as you might recall me telling you.

I’m glad your smoothie settled your stomach. Coffee can also have that effect. Let yourself have a treat and have some candy, girl! Lol. Of course, wait until your stomach is fully better. I’m glad you got to go out and get what you need for your raw diet. I’m proud of you!

I made waffles and eggs & coffee for breakfast, and thought of you! I was wondering if you’d like some lol

But yeah, I’m going to try and finish my chapter today. Embracing the embarrassing moment that it’s taken me over a week to finish it, I will hope that my illnesses do not return and all this external drama with my life is going to end as well.

Ohh! And yes, lol I do sometimes want to read and write and do many things. Though one of my favorite new authors, KD Lumsden, just had a sequel out to Secrets of Urthis. I am trying to read the sequel but I can’t concentrate! It’s just she changed how she writes and it’s odd. She is telling more than showing. Frustrating!

I’d love it if you would read my Bexley story on Resurgence Novels. The app is free & the chapters are free too. (If you start up an account, you get free tokens every 7 hours and you can use it toward a chapter).

Anyway girl, talk to you soon today!!

Love,

Melissa

    Not to mention, of course, "Robin Hood".

  • And yet, two of my favorite stories are "Oliver" & "Les Miserables" where the leads & other most lovable characters are themselves law-breakers.
