Hey, there…it’s Tuesday again and tomorrow marks a new month—already. Where does the time go? We hope your day is wonderful and thanks so much for joining us!
Here is this week’s challenge:
Write a letter to one of your characters, either from yourself as author or from another of your characters.
This letter is from the contemporary heroine of my novel “Come Back to Me” to a man she has just seen in a painting from the sixteenth century in Scotland:
Dear …I don’t actually know your name…yet,
When I saw your portrait at a local estate sale—when I saw your face, your eyes, well, I wondered if I’d ever be able to breathe again. Yes, of course I bought the painting and I have to do some research, but I intend to find you. And marry you. And spend the rest of my life with you. It might sound crazy, but I knew instantly, in my very bones, that you were my soul mate and time can’t defeat that. Nothing can stop true love. As Wesley said in “The Princess Bride”:
Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
And if death cannot stop it, why should I be discouraged by a little thing like time?
I have always loved stories of romance and fairy tales and my imagination can sometimes run wild, but then why not? Magic is real. And time travel? Well, why not? I’m not sure yet how I’m going to accomplish it, but I am determined.
So, I will find you and I will love you and somehow I am certain you will love me, too. Because everyone is entitled to a happily ever after.
Soon my love…
Skye
