          	Hello, beautiful people! 
          	
          	This month, our theme across Contemporary and Chick Lit is Black History Month. We are excited to share the first few lines of your stories with our community.
          	
          	Our first quote of the month comes from How To Forgive A Cheater by @Jadiinvine
          	
          	✨ The doorbell rang three times while I was setting the dining table. I looked at the wall clock, it was 8:00 PM sharp. I was not done yet! I looked around me but my husband was not in the living room. Probably still in Clara’s room. Last time I saw him, he was trying to put the mini demon to sleep. ✨
          	
          	♡♡♡
          	
          	The opening sets a cozy family scene. Want to know what happens next?

          Hello, Beautiful People!
          
          It's Friday! Time to unwind, relax, and celebrate your writing! 
          
          Today, we're spotlighting the opening lines of A Life Rewritten By Love by @cadreamer27
          
          ✨ The sound of rain against the window was the only thing filling the room. Sera sat curled up in the corner of the bed, her knees pressed tightly to her chest. The glow of the city outside barely reached her, the soft flicker of lights casting faint shadows on the walls.
          
          She closed her eyes, trying to focus on the rhythm of the raindrops instead of the ache in her heart. ✨
          
          ♡♡♡ 
          
          This line is beautifully written. It feels very quiet and emotional. Does it make you wonder why she's so sad?
          
          Are you intrintrigued by the first line? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! 
          
          ♡♡♡
           
          See you in February with a new theme and exciting quotes from our community. We hope the next month is a good start.

          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
