(1978 August 8)
I have done little more on Harlequin Romance but I think a lot. I am hoping my [Fiction Class] teacher can help. Privately he said he enjoyed having me in the class. (I am a quick study.) I told him I aspired to write a Harlequin Romance, and he said he knew I could - he could tell. MM brot me a dozen to read, and I am laying a foundation. There is always a man who is horrid to the girl but later declares his love. She has many run-ins with him but finally realizes she loves him.
Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.
