Featured Story of the month for November 2007 - Somewhere I Belong by Teri
mare:
I'm trying to think of more clever questions for you but my brain isn't working properly lol I need to turn it in and get myself a new one. :P
So i'm going to steal some of my questions I have asked other people lol
For someone like me who isn't big on the romance side of fiction, tell me some things that would draw me in into your story. Plot points that don't have to do with a romantic aspect.
Or for people who live for that sort of thing, what has been your favorite scene to write concerning the relationship between Nick and Ali?
(I hope I got that right?)and why?
Also give us some of your favorite quotes from your story (either the first or the sequel) and this one is for anyone who is reading or has read both of these stories. I have a feeling Tri has a few favorites she can share.
You can tell us who said it or you can just put the quote and have people guess. :)
Teri:
LOL hmmm all good questions I shall ponder these as I drive to the library and answer once I get there!
Tri:
Ooo, Mare, you're right... I have some to share! I know there have been some killer lines that I've loved, so I gotta go back and look at my reviews to find which ones I really liked. I'll post em later tonight! :)
Tri:
Okay, I found ONE quote that I like from Accidentally In Love that I remember laughing about... (I'm starting with AIL, but I promise I'll go to SWIB after that. lol.)
"I can’t think about that, I won’t survive without her I know that. And losing her that’d kill me. I know, I know what’s with the melodrama. Yep I said melodrama. Bet you didn’t think I knew that huh? Well I do. I own a dictionary, and I use it damnit. Just because I act like a dumb blonde in front of the media doesn’t mean I’m actually a dumb blonde. But I know I’m never going to live down certain things I’ve said in the past. Resign, reside…whatever everyone knew what I meant. How many people have screwed up a word in their lives, I bet you that everyone has at least once. Even the winner of the spelling bee."
I think it's things like that, especially in Nick's narrations, that show that Teri captures Nick's personality SO well and manages to add little quirks to him. That's why I feel like he's really real.
Tri:
Okay, another favorite line of mine...
"That was going to suck, going home and not seeing her there, the house was going to be so empty without her. Nick had gotten used to seeing her stuff lying everywhere, bras, thigh highs, shoes, girlie magazines, soccer cleats and now he wasn’t going to see that anymore."
To me, it showed that Nick cared more about Ali than just sex. It was the presence of her in his life that he would miss when she wasn't around. :)
