TO ALL READERS AND POTENTIAL REVIEWERS:
This is TJ, you author coming to you with an important message, so please read!!!
Due to a conflict in my personal life (more like just with myself), I won't be able to update any time soon. Don't expect anything until February.
Reason? I am nominated for an award that is requiring my full attention. I have to prepare myself for it, including but not limited to essays, interviews, and recommendation letters. It's almost as if I trying to apply for college. So, I will need to work on that. I should be done with that stuff by the 23rd of January, giving me a week to write.
I am so sorry!
BUT, for Two Can Tango, I am requesting any suggestions that you may have. Songs? People you want to see? Situations? Any special requests…send them.
But I do have one homework assignment for you:
Due to something I am planning for later in the story (infer all you want), I need:
Any native Spanish speakers to send me any phrases that your padres y parientes may say to you. Any idioms…send them. How's your family structured, and how do you party?
For everyone, send me any funny family stories. How do you guys party? Favorite relative and why?
"That's so personal…" someone might say. Well, you don't have to do it if you don't want to.
Here, is mine—
My family is structured with my grandmother head of the family. I have a great grandmother who is 98 (soon to be 99) still living, and she commands a lot of attention. One of my favorite things about her is that she used to watch Hulk Hogan on tapes. Yes, she used to watch wrestling.
Because I'm black (shocking!), I am guaranteed a big family, though not all of my family is black. My mother has nine siblings, and each had 2-4 kids. Some of them are old enough to have twelve year-old kids. Um…I have fifty thousands cousins. That comes with a cousin nicknamed Peaches, who I didn't know I had. Just last year, I met a cousin at the local community, after knowing him for two weeks. That made for awkward times. I told my mother one time I wouldn't get married because I might end up marrying my cousin. A birthday party would turn into a family reunion.
Eating is big in my family, not that we're big (except for the "junk in the trunk"). That comes from soul food. Aw, so delicious and fattening. Especially this macaroni and cheese my mom makes. It can make your heart stop. Literally. Just kidding. Loud talking is given. Babies are cute and always fall asleep in grandma's arms.
Ooo…story!
One time, my little cousin, who looks like me when I was three, was talking to another cousin. My great grandma complained, "Y'all with all that noise!" My little cousin muttered, "Go back to sleep, grandma…"
Not my family, but a teacher of mine always says, "that's why we don't have nice things."
Suggestion example: I would like to see Alice and Jasper interact more because I miss them in the story, even though it's Bella and Edward's story.
OR…
I would like to see Ana and Sebastian with Pedro Juan, having a dinner. I think it would be hilarious if…
I know I am kind of rambling, but…sigh. It's hard, you know? Life is. It's like I have a bagel and put cream cheese on it. Then, I think it's a cupcake, but then I take a bite and realize it's a muffin.
Interpret that—Anna send it to me from one of her other friends.
Anyways, just go and review or PM with your "homework." I am expecting to her from you. Now, I'm going back to finish my work.
Until an update…
Your humble writer (and prose servant),
TJ a.k.a. Angelznight3000
P.S. I have a new story idea. I haven't started to write it, but for future reference, if anyone wants to beta, let me know…
