My Fictional Neighbor

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where we post a weekly writing- or reading-related question. We'd love for you to participate! Just answer the prompt on your own blog and leave a link in the comments - or, if you prefer, you can include your answer in the comments. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.

This week's topic: What book character would you most like as your next-door neighbor?

I've read a load of books in my life, so this is really difficult. But, you all know me well enough to not be surprised that I pick Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's. She's suc a fun character, and the neighbor of the narrator, who adores her as well.

Of course, she ends up breaking his heart, but being a girl would make being her neighbor much more fun. She'd totally be my wing-girl. Being a "Girl-About-The-Town" gave her enormous access to parties, and dates, and clothes.

And, girl-to-girl, you could have some amazing deep conversations. There were hints to sexual abuse, and other difficulties in her life and that gave her a depth beyond her superficial appearance. And that's why I chose her.
