The Quill Sisters

My very own favorite niece, known on these pages as aimlsrdhd, began blogging last month:

We are a collective of three new writers each busy working on our first historical romance novels.  We have had quite a journey taking the leap from avid readers to dedicated writers.  Now, as writers striving to be authors, we are faced with an entirely new set of challenges and triumphs. 

Join us as we embark on a search for the perfect revision, an agent, a publisher and the realization of our dream of working as professional authors. 

The Quill Sisters – writers of historical romance novels.

I’m going to steal this whole blog post (she wouldn’t sue her uncle, would she?) to give you a taste.

I wish my dialogue was this good

So this morning Sassy (age 6) and The Bandit (age 4) are eating granola bars. Sassy’s has chocolate chips in it and The Bandit asks if he can have a bite. Usually, they are very good at sharing. Sassy is all solicitous and sweet when she says, “Do you want a chocolate chip? Do you?” Of course, he does so she gives him one, even going so far as to put it sweetly in his mouth for him. Then she says, again sweet as pie, “Was is good? Did you like it?” He nods that is was indeed very yummy. She puts her face right up to his, I thought she was going to kiss him and I was thinking, Wow, isn’t she a nice little girl. Then she whispers, “I got it off the floor.”

Seriously.
