Meet Emily: A Behind-the-Scenes Character Deep Dive
Have you ever felt like life pulled you away from your real dreams? That’s exactly where we meet Emily. She grew up in a sleepy small town with big city ambitions, always imagining she'd write a novel one day. But as life would have it, she took a job at an ad agency right out of college—penning snappy slogans instead of her own stories—until a very personal loss (and the ownership of a gorgeous brownstone) forced her to hit the reset button. Talk about a wake-up call!
Why Emily’s Story?
I wanted to create a character who feels the weight of unfulfilled goals, yet still finds room for fun and spontaneous adventures—like a series of one-night stands (we’ll get to the “elusive O” in a minute). Emily’s journey isn’t just about landing the perfect partner (though a certain “bad boy” stirs up all sorts of trouble and passion!). It’s also about discovering her own boundaries, desires, and identity amid the chaos of city life. Emily longs to finish that novel she’s had on the back burner for too long, proving to herself—and maybe the world—that she still has big dreams left to chase.
Little-Known Quirks
While Emily’s official story dives into her steamy escapades and dramatic showdowns with pushy real estate developers, there were fun details I couldn’t cram into the final book. For instance:
Coffee-Obsessed: Emily cannot function without her morning latte, and she has a secret habit of naming her lattes after her mood (Mad Mocha Mondays, anyone?).
Word Nerd at Heart: You see glimpses of Emily’s wordsmith side at her ad agency, but she also keeps a hidden file of half-baked chapter ideas on her phone—titles, quotes, random scribbles. That’s the novel-in-progress, waiting to be unleashed!
Emily’s world is laced with plenty of humor (picture those giggly slumber-party moments with her best girlfriends) alongside heavier themes like grief and self-discovery. I hope you’ll find Emily as relatable as a close friend—one who’s sometimes messy, often brave, and always ready to fight for what matters to her. If you’re curious to see how she fends off shady developers, pursues her creative passion, and finally takes charge of her love life (and yes, her elusive O!), I invite you to dive into her story. Welcome to Emily’s world—you might just find a piece of yourself in it, too.
