Hey author, I really like the "The waitress" book. I was wondering if I could start my story (meeting the girls at the cafe) the same way? Of course only if you accept my proposition and I get if you don't want, 'cause it's your book after all. I assure you that the rest of my story will have nothing to do with your book (I don't want to copy your book) and characters will be written in a different way. Of course, I'll write in the book that the beginning was borrowed from you. I really like your books and others too so don't stop writing! (I'm sorry if I made any mistakes writing that, english isn't my first languge.)
