Unrequited love. I think it's one of the saddest things in the world to love someone who doesn't love you. That's what the song from Les Mis is talking about. I've been there, done that. A part of that experience has influenced my novel. Fortunately, my heroine, who happens to be around the same age that I was at the time, does not suffer the same fate. She's too busy looking out for others to be concerned with matters of the heart. But, I do tend to make my male characters suffer on occasion. Come to think of it, it is quite a bit. But, make no mistake, I do still love them as their creator. That's the fun of being a writer. It's like playing God in your own little world.
I hope you're enjoying summer. During this heat wave, I'm looking forward to the cooler days of autumn. That is my favorite season.
