Hello everybody! Willow here with an update on this story as well as some new things I am working on.
About Love on the Brooklyn Bridge: At first, I totally loved the idea of this story. It sounded so amazing in my head and then as I got busy I lost interest in writing. About a year ago I went over it and read it, and frankly I don't think it's that great. Maybe at another time I will eventually finish it, but for now it's on hiatus. However, some of the characters from this story will be making an appearance in my new Newsie fanfic…which brings me on to the next thing…
About my new Newsie story: I had this crazy dream one night about old theaters and stuff and it reminded me of Medda and Newsies so of course I rewatched it and I was like. I'm going to build a story around this theater. I really like this idea and I think I can keep it flowing fairly well. It's pretty much about a girl who runs away from a bad home life really young, meets Medda who raises her in a way, but also introduces her to the Newsies who make her one of their own. It is untitled at the moment but I have a little snippet here to see if anyone is interested….
Untitled Newsie Story Snippet: Scared. That's all I've ever been. The only way I've ever lived my life. I would have given anything to live a life free of fear. Which is why when he, my father, came home so fully drowned in the bottle, I ran. I saw him beat my mother, and then my sister who she was giving a bath. I blame myself for their pain and suffering. But then again…I blame my mother for staying with that horrible man. I should have warned them. Told them that he was on his way home and it wouldn't be pretty. But what did I do? I ran like the coward I was. Could you blame me though? I was eleven and didn't know what else to do. I had been a victim of an abusive father and a mother who was so scared of the man herself she didn't dare say anything against him. Instead she hid her bruises and those of me and my sister with makeup as best she could…
So that's all so far. Which brings me to the final things I wanted to talk about…
After this FanFic I will be writing a Glee fanfic that I've had the idea for, for over a year. It's gonna be good. I think. I will try to update as much as I can, it just depends on work and school.
Hope you guys enjoy my new story…whatever I decide to name it.
Love,
Willow
