After a while it is difficult to remember details. Where before I could have counted the petals on the flowers, I can’t even tell you what colour they were now. I also can no longer tell the colour of the shirt he was wearing that day.
The thing I do remember are the little lines around his eyes. He was still young, you could barely see them, but you could when he was worried. The moments that he cared about. My father has the same lines, his are deeper. More refined. The ones you would expect on a man that has been through all the things my father has been through. My fathers lines grew deeper the day my brother left.
Another thing I still remember is the smell. They, people, say that smell is the best way to remember things and they are right. His smell left our home a few years ago, but sometimes I think I can still smell him. As if the house is haunting me. The smell is lingering in the walls and in the old floorboards. When the house sighs, remembering him, we have to remember as well. The house is telling us to never forget him, thinking it will be possible to forget him.
It is not possible to forget. Not inside the house, but also not outside.

Jane Doe(my nanowrimo 2010 main character) has her own blog. I guess she wants you to read it, or not. I don’t know what she wants and neither does she.

So excited! I am waiting for my own proof copy right now. I hope it gets here soon, I want to see my own novel in all it’s glory.
I was wondering. What is the maximum you would pay for a book?

He put his hand on my leg to comfort me. I picked it up and held his hand in both mine.
‘I just want to move on, leave all the pain behind me and make fresh start, so I can be happy again.’ I looked at him. He was looking straight back at me.
‘I really am sorry for everything I have done.’ He gently squeezed my hand. ‘I really am and I would really like to start over.’
‘I would also like that.’ I told him.
‘Hi.’ He held out his hand. ‘My name is Hayden.’
I smiled, but still shook his hand. ‘Jane.’
