Books & Authors - January 2007

I'm writing a novel set in the Victorian era. It's about a prostitute who falls in love with the inspector who had rescued her from a suicide attempt. The problem is, I can't figure out how she could end up falling in love with a man. The only fact I am aware of about a prostitute is that they are usually man-haters. But what else of their character? Are they all untrustworthy, unsensitive, loud, dishonest and such? (I'm sorry, but that was how this one prostitute I had once encountered acted like...but I KNOW not all are like her, that's why I'm asking for help). Or can they be sensitive, kind, and . . .trustworthy? But I'm sure most all of them don't trust other people. Anyways, my point is, tell me about how a prostitute's character might me.

Also, is it possible for a prostitute to fall in love? I mean, they've been treated so bad by men and all.....if they CAN fall in love, how?

The quote, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (30). Who is he saying that about. in the first place. Is he telling her about Miss Caroline or Walter or both... . Thanx

My great-grandfather was a writer (Paul Powers) and I have so many overwhelming ideas. I have written poems, but I really think I could write a novel. Should I??
