This morning I finished reading Meg Cabot's newest book (as written by Mia Thermopolis) called Ransom My Heart

Because I am so into reading books like Meg Cabot's, I am torn as to what kind of book I should start with in my career. Should I start in romantic fiction? Or will that ruin my credibility when I want to go into Christian fiction? (Refer to Stealing Adda by Tamara Leigh) Should I write a non-fiction snarky girl book giving advice to guys? I just don't know.
Lately, I have wanted to continue with my original story, but include more aggression in the first scene, maybe a punch or two. Seriously, in everything that I have seen or read the past couple of weeks has convinced me that not enough people express their true emotions and let everything fester until it goes beyond a punch or two. Or even a hair pull or strong yank.
I mean really, wouldn't that first scene from blog 1 be more improved when that witch walks in to try and steal the groom if the bride-to-be just rares back and lets the girl have it in the nose? And then runs out. Yeah. Much better. I feel better now. haha.
Also, I don't know if I want the two main characters to end up together anymore. Why you ask? Well, because these two characters are based on real people of course. You think I have that much of an imagination that I can just conjure fake people out of thin air? I think not. I would just seem weird these two being together now. I don't know. I liked the additional guy to be added later... maybe the groom stays with the intruder and marries her after the bride flees. Maybe she finds this out a couple of years later when they cross paths and he is still unhappy and she is able to find closure... hmm... good? no? This girl needs a fella with NO drama. No past girlfriends that would want to ruin someone's wedding day. No apprehension whatsoever.
I still don't know where I want to set this novel. Any ideas? I was thinking somewhere out West...maybe Colorado or Oregon? Any thoughts on those?
Be back later.
I don't know, she could end up with someone that happened to move away to go to school but while he was gone realized that he was in love with her! Of course, I don't know anyone you could base that on!
ReplyDeletehmm...i have no idea what you are talking about.
ReplyDeleteReally I think it would be rather obvious! Do you think we should let a few of our friends read this to see if they could figure out who I am talking about? :)
ReplyDeleteUm. no. I don't think it would be a good idea for some of our friends to read this.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, which is exactly how you know that I wouldn't do that!
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
