A Writer’s Love Story...
This is a small excerpt from the tiny novella entitled 'A Writer's Love Story'...
Excerpt 1
There was a reason why Stella felt very drawn to this particular book. The book's cover design was simple and gave nothing away. Yet the story was different- special. Stella flipped page after page with excitement since she liked it so much. The book was a typical rich people's romance novel, but there was something very intriguing about the way it was narrated that kept her glued to the story.
The book was not true to its name. On the other hand, it was making her think spiritually about life through the trysts and triumphs of the star-crossed protagonist Giselle Kindchen who finds herself lost in Swanky Monte Carlo and seeking something meaningful.
Stella was so taken by the book's heroine Giselle and her lonesome adventures when her eyes fell on the wall clock above her. She had been reading the book for more than a few hours and her hands had started to ache.
She put the book down for a moment and looked closely at a newly formed pink zit on her nose in the mirror. She also noticed her blue eyes, full face, and beautiful blonde hair. Stella wondered what it would be like to have Giselle's guts.
Excerpt 2
Stella was so busy in her little world and the notes she was making for her blog article that she hardly noticed a handsome hazel green-eyed man who had sat down at a table just next to hers. He seemed like a nice man.
Whenever she concentrated on her writing she found herself very deep in thought. She usually was so lost in thought while writing at her favourite cafe, that she wasn't aware of other people and what they were doing around her.
Stella continued to make her notes as if nothing had happened because she did not notice the man sitting near her. When she finally looked up she noticed him again. Something made her wonder if he too was a writer like she was. She keenly observed him from afar and felt that she had never seen a more dashing, handsome man.
She wondered if he too was a writer. She wondered if he too thought about the world the way she did. There was an air about him that made her wonder if he was someone who seemed wise and almost philosophical.

Personality / Writing Style - Writes about love, but my stories usually have highly relatable female protagonists who are not very loud and in your face, but someone the audience can relate to and learn a thing or two from. My stories are high on romance but have something earthy that will draw you to them on an emotional level.
