STORY STARTER

Write the blurb for your first romance novel.

A blurb should intrigue the reader; introducing the main characters, and describing the plot, without giving too much away.

The One

Waiting by the door


Waiting for a call


Waiting for the one, to pass by me in the hall


The one he walks close by me


The one he walks, then stops


The one cannot make up his mind, what is it the one wants?


The one he looks at me


He looks and one day talks


He looks and talks with loving eyes until one day they drop


The one has eyes like a jungle


Tangled and confused


His proud smile like a thirsty hunter, but his treasure he will lose


My eyes are like a jungle too


Determined, wild, and free


My smile is the treasure – a treasure known only to me


I watched the one as he walks


I gaze at him when he stops


He used to walk and stop for me until one day I’m not


I’m not the one he waits for


He stays, but not for me


His jungle eyes they wait for her


Now I see what I could not see


I watch the one as he waits for her


Like he used to wait for me


His jungle eyes have risen from the floor to look, differently


He would barely look with nervous eyes, ashamed of what I could not see


But he looks at her with anticipation, hunger, for what used to be


One day, the one betrayed her


He would lie and steal and cheat


The next day, the one be betrayed me


He did the very same things


The one he lied to me, said he did not, but he did


The one he stole from me, my heart, unguarded it had to give


The one he cheated me, called our jungle eyes the same


He said mine were beautiful


If only his were tame
