Okay, my first really long story. (Fifty-eight pages on word) and I have it all written out, I just need a beta. And by need I mean this-story-will-suck-and-I-can't-edit-my-own-work-to-save-my-life. (I just read and since I already know pretty much every scene, I gloss over it more then hardcore reading and editing. It's my weakness.
So, I thought I would post the pre-face and hope it sparks someone's interest and they decided that editing would be more than delightful. And life I said, the overall story is finished (and not just an outline) I mean, it's fifty-eight pages on word and ready for someone to look over.
Thanks for reading my ridiculously long author's note, and please enjoy my small pre-face!
I sat there in the waiting chair, staring at the walls.
I of all people should be grateful for this to be happening to me. I wished for this moment for more agonizing years than anyone can image. I felt water start to build up in my eyes. This was by far the hardest thing I have ever done.
I heard my name in the distance being called. I knew who it was and I just couldn't bare it.
I didn't take my eyes off the wall. I knew someone would come for me. I was extremely happy but when you are deciding something like this, you can't help but feel a mixture of happiness and extreme sadness also.
I couldn't help but to be unsure. I mean, I was pretty sure I was doing the right thing, but I just couldn't help but to think 'what if I'm making the wrong decision?' it would be disastrous.
I heard my name again. I still stared at the wall. Maybe I could will this terrible, crappy, shitty problem away, maybe I was just dreaming….just dreaming…
How was it? I bet you loved it enough to say you want to read the rest before anyone else! Right, right? Just message me if you're interested because if no one steps up to the plate, I'm going to have to edit it myself and lets face it, it will suck if I do.
Oh! And here are some quotes that helped me with the story, so if you think you know what's going to happen, or want to try and figure it out, here are some clues:
"Maybe you're sitting here because you aren't supposed to be standing somewhere else." –Serendipity
"My interest in the future because I am going to live the rest of my life there"
–Charles F. Kettering
"The future is always beginning now."
–Mark Strand
"You can never control who you fall in love with, even when you are in the most sad, confused time of your life…It just happens."
–Kirsten Dunst
