Umm... so, I just stumbled across an interesting file on my computer...
It's only 25 pages-- but, it's a book I vaguely remember starting during my pregnancy with EVA. She's 5 years old now...
I completely forgot about this manuscript! It was saved in some obscure file and I accidentally clicked on it when I was looking for something totally different.
I even TITLED it, you guys!
I NEVER title anything. I'm terrible with titles. Dare I say, I loathe titles?
It's called The Price of Paramour... and, as you can suspect-- it's a romancey-for-the-chicks-NA.
For starting the manuscript at 21-22 years old... it's not THAT bad. As I read, I definitely found myself feeling a bit embarrassed (ie- WHAT WAS I THINKING WITH THAT STUPID METAPHOR!?) but-- it's really not bad. I think I could easily finish this.
Yes, it is now *another* manuscript that I have floating around... and yes, it is kind of a trashy romance novel that I never write... but, that's kind of fun!
On a completely separate note-- The Strokes have a song available for free download on their website and it is TERRIBLE. I want to cry. Who listened to that song and told them, "Hey guys! This sounds awesome! This should totally be on your next album!" I want to find that guy and tell him he's an asshole.
Anyhoots-- I hope my critique partners are honest enough with me to tell me if and when my writing sucks.
Honesty is a strong, admirable virtue.... And, I'll much appreciate you saving me from embarrassment!

Oo maybe you should post it bit by bit on the blog! I'm all for girly stories.
ReplyDeletehmmm maybe I will! It's kind of a romantic- NA. Well, not kind of- is definitely that.
