So, this 1000 likes contest on Facebook is proving to be a challenge. I am a very detailed writer and I love to create imagery with my words, I'm finding it difficult to do in 1000 words or less. I've edited my entry down from 1700+ to 1284 and messaged the moderators to see if it will be acceptable. They did mention they would take entry's that were "a bit" over. So cross your fingers folks. Also it seems a novella may have sprung forth from this contest, lol. My son liked my plot so much he suggested I make another version and keep adding to it. So I changed the names of a few characters and now the 2nd version is over 3000+ words. :-)
Basically it's a paranormal romance, I guess. The character list given by the contest judges had ... shape-shifters, and people with special abilities so it was impossible for it to not be paranormal, lol. It's not usually a subject I work with but I'm liking it.
NO TITLE YET :
It's essentially about a young woman, Dominique, that is a succubus and her budding friendship/romance with a young man, Tristan, that is cursed to only be human at night ... in some way she will help him be released from this curse and they will have more encounters (adventures) together.
Extra's Today :

Just The Beginning
I used to write all of the time; getting published in high school and college literary magazine's. Then, I lost focus for a short time and now I'm back in full swing...creative wings spread wide and taking flight untethered ! :-)
Finished three complete outlines for stories that are begging to be told. I was trying to narrow it down and just focus on one but they kept fighting for the previledge of being first so I decided to call it a tie and outline all three.
Free writing starts tomorrow or maybe today, this should be fun. Finished my entry (first draft) for the "1000 likes" writing contest on facebook; a public event hosted By the Young Writers group. Going to put that away for a few days and start editing with fresh eyes on Friday. Deadline is quickly approaching.
Also, I'd love to plug Sarah Daltry here. I had the opportunity to read some of her work recently and it was page turning. I cannot wait until Bitter Fruits comes out on June 25th. I literally woke up feeling like I had watched a movie and I wanted to watch it again lol.
Something a little Extra : Here you can meet the characters of Bitter Fruits
