Well, I started another new story! I didn’t really intend to start anything new, having just started Guilty Roads, but I got this idea last Sunday, it wouldn’t leave me alone, and so I decided to play around with it and started writing just to get it out of my system. I’ve learned that if I try to sit on ideas while I’m finishing other stories first, I usually don’t come back to them, so it’s better to go ahead and write while I’m inspired and see where it takes me. Usually I’ll write a beginning chapter and then set it aside and go back to whatever other stories I was working on. With this one, I wrote on it for a full week, cranking out a chapter a day (which, for me, is pretty good these days). I said I wasn’t going to post it until I got to Chapter 6 and saw how it was going then. Well, I finished Chapter 6 this morning, so I guess it’s time to post it so you guys can see why I haven’t written anything for GR since the last update. LOL
The new story is called “Curtain Call,” and the first five chapters are up. There’s a reason I’m posting that many chapters at once, instead of staying ahead of myself and posting them one at a time. I hope that you’ll read all five before making a judgment about the story. This one reminds me of Broken – it starts out reading like probably yet another teenybopper romance story, but then it takes a turn (and it takes fewer chapters to get there this time). Also, like Broken, I started off thinking I would never actually turn this idea into a story because I’ve written similar stories before, but the more I thought about it and planned for it and started writing it, the more I couldn’t let it go. Also, like Broken… well, I’ll let you read. So for what it’s worth, here it is:
