For the most boring first chapter of a young adult novel in the history of young adult novels, read Chapter 1 of my first novel, "Always." I can only excuse myself by noting that I was probably only 13 or 14 when I wrote this. Also, it sort of gets better.
Note that the description of the house in the novel is suspiciously similar to that of my parents' house... Oh, the cringe-inducing hilarity!

Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteI think it is very well written and has a rhythm (or beat or cadence) in the writing style that you have carried forward.
More!
Thank you, Eddie! You spoil me, though. I am going to wind up with a giant ego!
