Day 6: Write the Opening Statement of Your Debut Novel

I read a lot, and I write a lot. Only one person has read anything I've written creatively. He's not allowed to talk to me about it; no feedback, no comments, no criticism. I'm not ready to face the reality that my work may in fact blow hard like divine brown on hugh grant. I let him read it, that's enough for now. Today's task includes writing the opening statement of my debut novel. The great American novel written in Canada eh? Well, I ponder, what kind of novel should I write. Adventure? Science Fiction? Horror? Dectective? Its unimportant. I'm the kind of girl who starts with one sentence and goes from there, building each statement off the one before it. I don't really plan out my writing, maybe I should.

"There is nothing like snow to make a moment magical."

So, there you go. On shelves November 2020. I have a deep love of snow so I think it seems appropriate to pay homage to this wonderful act of weather. So many possibilites, so many roads to take. I'm going to go watch the snow fall now.
