Hello, Beautiful People!
          	A new week is starting, full of adventures.
          	
          	Here is a question to start your day: A pop-up Winter Theme Park just opened close to your house. What is the first thing you're planning to do?
          	→ Ride the highest roller coaster
          	OR
          	→ Hang around the food stalls
          	
          	Every new day we wake up is worth celebrating, but if you don't know what to do, Thursday is Christmas! We hope you receive a Christmas gift, and if not, we're sending you loads of good vibes!

@chicklit First lines, in my opinion, can make or break a story for me. If I'm not hooked by that first page, then my hopes are low.

          Today, we're spotlighting the opening lines of Holly And The Faux Man by @Pollyf79
          
          ✨ "Christmas-time. Full of joy and good tidings. Selection boxes. Bustling markets. Brightly wrapped presents. Children excitedly opening Christmas lists to send to Lapland…
          
          Holly Sprigg hated everything about Christmas with a passion. " ✨
          
          ♡♡♡ 
          
          It makes us want to know Holly's backstory and why she feels this way.

          Hello, Beautiful People!
          
          It’s Friday! Time to unwind, relax, and celebrate your writing! 
          
          This month, our theme across the profile is Winter, and we’re looking forward to spotlight the opening lines of Winter themed contemporary stories.
          
          Our first quote of the month is from Falling By Design by @chroniclesoftatiana
          
          ✨ If there is something that frustrates Miguel more than freezing rain during winter, it's romantic cliches, particularly those he's encountered repeatedly in movies. The tired narratives of boy-meets-girl, childhood besties morphing into lovers, and enemies making an unlikely romantic turn leave him vexed. His cringe radar pings at scenes featuring an accidental kiss or the contrived clumsiness of bumping into someone, causing one's belongings to scatter, with their fingers inevitably brushing against each other. ✨
          
          
          ♡♡♡
          
          This opening gives us a clear view into Miguel’s inner-world. And his somewhat grumpy voice makes the passage very fun to read.
          
          ♡♡♡
