Nothing Interesting to Say

I was going to post an excerpt, but it occurs to me that the majority of you don't know Adeline. Ok, if I look at who I've linked to and who will eventually start reading this, you guys do. But maybe some day there will be others who I'll be attacking, and they won't know Adeline. So, allow a short introduction if you will. The excerpt - oh my zillions of fans *grins* - will wait until next time.

This isn't really interesting or important, but I like to babble so indulge me. Around two years ago, I was a sophomore in college, and in the speech class from hell! More than once, I seriously contemplated gouging my eyes out with a pen because at least it would be more interesting than listening to my professor drone on and on and on. At the time, I was an avid lurker on a (for lack of better term) roleplaying board. People would post ongoing stories under the name of their character. And, for a girl who loves to read, it was heaven.

I've always liked to write and been encouraged by those who happened to read my writing so I decided to delurk and join in on all the fun. And, thus, Adeline was born. She was named after a little girl I knew when I was in high school who had the biggest, prettiest brown eyes I've ever seen. But, unlike the Adie I knew, mine was pure mischief.

Living with Adeline is like having a three year old running around with me and commenting on the world. Granted, she's a highly intelligent three year old, but still. If I don't pay attention, she'll have me sticking my tongue out at my boss when he's being ridiculous and his back is turned. Or she'll announce to my friends, "I die easily." She's also prone to bouts of hysterical giggling with the least little provacation. And, she's easily bribed with black teddy bears.

She's young for being the main character in a romance (series hopefully!), at only 22 (a mere 20 at the time!), but I think (hope) that's part of her appeal. She's growing, learning, as you read about her. Her reactions are starting to even out, become more predictable, and, sadly enough, she's becoming more cynical. But, hey, that's life, right?

There's ever so much more about Adeline I should probably tell you, but I think that'll be enough for now. Besides, you can get to know her (and trust me you will!) through the blog. If you're really interested *points to the side bar* Flights of Fancy is where she gets to spout all her nonsense mostly uninterrupted by me. And that, as they say, is that.
