Finally No Longer A Child...

Finally ,I have crossed the line of childhood. I am now,officially and legally, seen as a young adult.Gone are the disrespectful punishments and humiliation for honesty and opinion-I am entitled to my thoughts, my freedom and belief.
I am very much against modern societies laws and ettiquette.Dull, long hours of sincere, unwanted polite silence, snooty views of 'class' and 'culture' not to mention our unmentionably english mannerism of judging those who are different or opposing our opinion, be it right or wrong, as utterly wrong and therefore the poor victim in question should be treated as inferior and cut off from all society.
As I grew up listening quietly to my mother's social circle's sharp tongues and vicious, irratable attitude to any unfortunate woman who happened to stumble into their view in the wrong dress, you can imagine the nonsense and ridicule I heard while behind the curtains in the drawing room.
I can vividly remember my mother telling me about her sister's unfortunate encounter with her husband's parents.She had been about twenty, and had gone with her fiance to meet his parents. When asked how many estates her parent's owned, she replied, extremely foolishly, that it was none of their concern and she would hope, in today's society, her husband would love her no matter what her position in society was.I dread to think of the bitter consequences.

On another matter, I would like to reply to one of my comments on the previous statment.I utterly agree. When I write, it is impossible to explain the thrill and utter terror I feel as I create the passion between characters.It is, I suppose, like contolling the strings of puppets on a huge and impossible stage.
While I am in complete control, It is like I am observing the events from a perfect view, feeling the pain and the love between the characters. I love writing-nothing is more enjoyable to me than spending an hour or two writing a dark and passionate chapter.
Jealousy is all but published- I am working on the cover design as I speak. Iit took a lot of time and effort-but it was hugely enjoyable to write and the comments and replies I am recieving is truly extraordinary.
Thank you to all my supportive friends and collegues who have stood by me all the way thorough out this story.I will continue to update you on it's success.
Yours Faithfully,

Madelaine Lucie Hanson
