the opening

I am writing a story, I still don't know whether it will be a short story, novelet, novel. It's only the opening. I'd like to share with you all, as I'd like to know whether this opening is catchy enough to get your attention. Will it make you curios and keep on reading, or you think it's boring.



So here I am, with a man whom (I thought) I used to love. I never realize until now that I am still in love him, now that he’s in front of me. Six months after we decided to take a break, nothing seem to change. Six months with only few words exchanged and everything still feel the same. Maybe love is like a herpes virus. It does not dies. It just rest, stays under your skin, until certain circumstances wake it up. And those eyes, those smiles, those kisses have woken it up.




Feel free to give your opinion. Thank you.

Your english is too bad to write a book....

Well it reminds me of a love I would rather forget.
That's why there are editors & proofreaders, quad.

Re:
Getting the reader to equate his/her experiences with those of your heroine, and so empathize with her...
See Snooks's comment above.

Try not to the point mba if this is first line of your story.

Biar lebih greget aja & makin penasaran orang bacanya.

Good luck ya mba with your new novel story hug

I, for one, impressed.thumbs up
Hi Non, I haven't seen it, I'll try to look for it. Thank you for the info.

Quadal, my bad, I am not native. Thank you for the critics, I'll try better.
Hi Snook, like miclee said it's good if it makes you remember something about your own experience.

Dear miclee, thank you for your comments and opinion, it really means a lot handshake
Maksud straight to the point mba.
Aduh sometimes my mind & my fingers misundertood with what i'm gonna write doh
Lavina, lanjutannya udah ada di fb tuh :)

iotaoo, been a while I don't write... time to start again. Thank you for stopping by and give comment.
Actually the bad grammar adds a certain charm to the story.


I like the part in the next chapter where she realizes he is about to suggest another break, so she kills him so he can't leave and then she has to keep hiding the body in different places over the next ten years. Like Tonya Slaton and the murdered child she hid in her car for a decade.

Ken, ahahaha nice idea but not my kind of story, I have the end already, just still confuse of what has happened in the middle but definitely no murder laugh
Make the guy's name WALDO!

And there's your title...

"WHERE'S WALDO?"

cowboy

butterflies, thank you for reading and give comment.

Hi Johny, I will post the next paragraph. I haven't written much though.

Hi Knenagh, best of luck with me, yes I need that. It still hurts, it's part of my way of letting go, I call it writing therapy :)
Minerva, thank you so much for the corrections! I really, really, really appreciate it! Yes I intend to write it in english because someone who does not speak my language also wants to read. Thank you Dear hug
Sarasvathy - ignore those whining the English isn't perfect enough for them. Neither one of them is a native speaker of English. As someone familiar with English and literature, rest assured that to me the mistakes they whine about can just be considered elements of style (and something many authors attempt with limited success to emulate because their mind is grammatically correct and they don't know how to make the grammar errors). If your writing becomes popular when theirs is not, who is right? You are, not them.


laugh
Very encouraging Ken, thank you handshake
