A taste of my story

I am currently writing a book, so I decided to give you a little snippet here goes, it's called What You Know

“Write about what you know” My English teacher, Mrs. Bell tells us.

“But, Miss Bell I don’t know nottin!” I say using my slightly country tinged accent to my advantage, “I only know me and who wants to read ‘bout that?”

“Lots of people will want to read about you Addie” She says swishing her long blonde hair over her shoulder, “That’s the joy of writing, there are so many others like you out there, that and you are not exactly a boring character to write about”.

            Well she is right about one thing, I am quite an interesting character. I am a country girl, moved up to New York from a small town in southern Mississippi.  I have seven brothers and sisters, and a show business mom. Mama don’t do to well with money, but she has a voice like an angel and eyes like one too. I ain’t never seen eyes like Mama’s. She has the brightest blue eyes I ever seen, they sparkle in sun and darkness, and are slightly tinged with purple. You can tell a lot about a person by their eyes. I once heard eyes are the windows to the soul and it make sense. If you look into a person’s eyes you can see the character, if they nice, mean, a liar, a saint. Well Mama got the purest eyes I ever seen.
