Writing for Friday Fictioneers again, hosted by Rochelle here.
The smell of antiquity filled my nostrils as I entered my new residence.
"You know the history," my broker had exclaimed, "Everybody who has lived here has turned out to be a legendary writer! Daniel Defoe, Dickens, Christie and most recently, Rowling."I could be next.
"Yes, you could be!" He read my thoughts. "Sign up for a bright future, now." I bought his house and his tales.
As I now sit at the same exquisite table and write my first piece, I can already feel words coming naturally to me. You might just see my name in this year's bestsellers!

Dear Soumyaa,
ReplyDeleteShe's nothing if not an optimist. I'll be looking for her on the best seller list. Nicely done.
shalom,
Rochelle
I hope her optimism does work for her. She'll send you a copy of her work, autographed ;)
DeleteThank you, Rochelle!
Aha! Lovely tale :) Start writing & be there on the list, Soumyaa! Best wishes :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Anita!
DeleteThough, being on the list is nowhere on my list currently ;)
Ah, the winds of happy change :) May the dream be realised, Soumyaa :)
ReplyDeleteMay the dream be realised! *echos*
Deletei'd like to buy that house too...smiles...i love your character's optimism and outlook for the future.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you do. May the Sun always shine bright on her ;) (you see what I did there?)
DeleteAh! I wonder...is it the pen, the desk itself, the chair that brings rich reward to all who pause amongst them? Lovely upbeat use of the prompt.
ReplyDeleteWe can only keep wondering, unless we use them and experience!
DeleteThank you for stopping by.
I would definitely want to buy that house! Great story!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, its not on sale! She'll let you know when she outgrows it ;)
DeleteInterested in buying a bridge that wordsworth, whitman and whittier walked across? Randy
ReplyDeleteHi Randy,
DeleteDoes the bridge lead me to the house?
Interesting. All the best.
ReplyDeleteThank you sir !
DeleteYou nailed it, Soumyaa! This is a teachable moment, learn from it and keep going! Well done! :)
ReplyDeleteFinally! Thank you, dear Kent, for you have always been supportive. I'd have never edited if it wasn't for you ;)
DeleteThe broker's claim seems to be true.
DeleteI admire her optimism. I wish it were that simple. :)
ReplyDeleteExactly! Nothing's ever that simple.
DeleteYet, optimism should keep prevailing :)
I want the lucky charm too! care for a roomie??? ;-) Nicely done, Soumyaa. Liked how you wove the dream here.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I can make some space for you, Uma ;) you're always welcome.
DeleteDear Soumyaa, Good story and I hope she's on the best sellers list by this time next year! Nan :)
ReplyDeleteDear Nan,
DeleteShe thanks you for supporting her dreams :)
