Letters to Lia/Letters to JC

[Jazzie C]

A character development exercise. This is something I thought I'd share so that you guys could get a proper insight to my MC, Lia. The letters are between her and me, assuming my blog has a wider readership, lol. Hope you enjoy!

Dear JC,

I hope I can call you that. I realise it must be strange, reading a letter from a complete stranger, if you read this at all. My name's Liana Rose. I read your blog. It's nice to see an insight to someone else's life, to be able to feel like you know someone like that. So I hoped we could make unlikely friends. Honestly, just someone to talk to would be great; I do feel very alone sometimes.

So, yeah, I'm Liana. I told you that already I guess. I'm seventeen, and I'm a witch. Truth is, I've lost everything, and from reading your blog, I'd guess you're the sort of person who likes to talk to people about these things. I know you'll understand, maybe not empathise, but you'd be a friend. That's one more than I have.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to pressure you. Please do feel free to ignore my letter, but I'd love if you responded.

Thanks for reading,
Liana Rose

Dear Liana,

How are you? It's always nice to hear from a reader - like I said on my blog, I'm there to make friends. Hopefully people like being on my emotional rollercoaster with me, since apparently sharing experiences would be a good way for me to well...get a good experience.

Of course you can call me JC! Heck, you can call me J if you like. I'm glad you've written to me instead of suffering in silence, I used to bottle everything up, and that can destroy a person more than anything else. I hope I can help.

Trust me when I say I never ignore a letter. Sometimes it can take me a while to reply, if things get on top of me. I love reading and responding. I hope you like my replies and I live up to your expectations.

Please, tell me about yourself. I can only try and understand. That's what friends do.

Love
JCx

I like this idea, Jazzie I might just take it up myself; getting a letter from he vampires in my novel would be epic XD

Dear JC
I don't really know what I'm doing. but you know me well enough to know I usually don't. I was just wondering whether there is an actual blog and could I get a link. I've been away as you might have known so if there is a link already to the blog please don't bother reading anymore. If such a blog does exist I am intruiged and would love to read more of your ramblings.
Lots of love and hugs,
Your very own Thomasxx

Dear Thomas,

Don't worry, a lot of us don't know what we're doing a lot of the time. My blog is jazziecarmen.blogspot.com, I'd love if you checked it out!

I love you lots!

Dear JC,

I'm not really sure what to write anymore. I don't even know if it was a good idea writing to you in the first place, but she's chasing me JC and I don't know what to do. My parents are gone now, and it's just me and my brother. Dan's never really had anyone else, but he's scared and he's trying to run. We both are.

The people at my school don't even register us as real people anymore. They just want us to disappear, and other than hissing abuse, they completely blank us, including our tutors. The blanking is the easy part to ignore. The abuse is harder. I think it's time for us to leave her, but I don't know where we would go.

My parents didn't just leave, JC, they were killed. Nobody will believe me, and even Dan is starting to doubt himself. I'm feeling really helpless, and I want to protect him, and I need to get out of here, but i don't know how. Please, if you have any advice, tell me what to do.

Thanks for not blanking us.
Lia Rose.
