A Foreword....
I'm full of brilliant ideas. Absolutely full of them! But I'm not full follow through. I get so excited about my new projects, then fail to really complete any of them. So, I decided that I'd try a new approach. Instead of trying to write one screenplay or one novel all at once, I would write my latest fancy as a blog. Along with publishing as a blog, I decided to make it a serial or episodic novel. This way it will keep me writing and keep you guessing. Also, along the way, I may ask for suggestions or opinions to move the story along, and include some of your great ideas as well!
In the next few days the first segment will appear. Please pass this along to anyone you think would enjoy it. Below is a teaser to get you started....
At 18, being engaged was a bit much. When they ended it at 21 she thought she could definitely find "the one." At 27 she'd been a bridesmaid 6 times already, and by 31 she'd given up on a wedding of her own. Evelyn isn't necessarily one of those girls everyone likes, but she's a lot of fun. She's witty, charismatic, daring, and independent. On the flip side, she's opinionated, bossy, demanding, and dramatic. A bit too honest some would say. She has a quick tongue and fowl mouth, but a very large and giving heart. Her pretty face and mediocre body make her non threatening to women and appealing to men.... as a friend.
On this very Saturday, she was going to be a bridesmaid yet again. In her father's wedding! She hadn't grown up with him, so she didn't know him very well. Only when her younger half-sisters wanted to get in touch did she know of their existence, and his desire to get to know her. Evelyn grew up happily with her mother, stepfather, and brother, and felt no real loss as a child. But as she got older, there were definitely questions that lingered in her mind. "Who was this asshole and why did he leave me? Why didn't he try to keep in touch?" Then she's squash those impulses with a quick, "Fuck him," and carry on.
However, on this particular day, she couldn't say that. She had an obligation to fill, and she always kept her promises. Well, mostly....
