Seven Days with You
by Hugo
Driscoll
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: YA Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Sean
Johnson’s life as a small-town farmhand has been nothing but predictable, but
when he meets Sophia Hillingdon at the local animal sanctuary, she gets him out
of an eighteen-year rut, away from the mundane existence on the farm, and a
grieving, drunken father.
Sophia is
the first person who understands him and makes him believe that he might get
out of their small town, who tells him, he has the potential to be whoever he
wants to be and do whatever he wants to do.
But as
their relationship unfolds, it is the most devastating of news that will change
both of them forever.

EXCERPT:
Her face was nearer than it had ever been. Her skin
felt smooth and warm. All I could do was lean further into her, losing myself
in the moment. And then there were her piercing blue eyes-even more
extraordinary up close. Before I knew it, I’d brought my hands to her chest as
our parting lips collided. We kissed for hours, inhabiting each other with such
force as our bodies rolled across the cooled grass. She was the change I had
been searching for. It was the first time I realized; I could be anywhere in
the world, but nowhere without her.

The
hardest part of writing is….
The hardest part of the writing process is
the risk involved. You’re devoting precious hours of your life for a creation
that may or may not be read by anyone other than your nearest and dearest. You
can spend months- years even- writing what you think is a great novel only to
have it rejected at every turn. That’s why a good writer is a risk-taker.
You’re creating something that you hope will reach an audience. You have a
story that may or may not be good. But you don’t know until you sacrifice
things in your life for a shot at something great. Not everyone has that in them, which is why
so many brilliant writers find it hard to finish a novel, let alone build a
career.
Regarding the process, the dialogue aspect
has always been tricky. Sure, you can write 10 pages about a window and use a
variety of superfluous adjectives, but what good fiction really comes down to
is relatable dialogue. Can you express a person’s vernacular in a way that is
well-written but also relatable and engaging? Can you move someone to tears
from a conversation, so compelling readers feel the characters jumping off the
pages? That’s what separates fiction writing from journalism and blog posts. It
takes more time, and in the end, the level of detail required causes many to
lose their patience.
