This story isn't a hollywood big budget production. There are no perfect families or angsty teens with money and fancy parties. It doesn't really fit the role of comedy and will never win awards as the next big sci-fi thriller. It's my story. It's a pretty ordinary tale, and for that I am truly sorry. That is the only truly genuine apology you should expect from me during this tale, so savour it while you can.
Before we begin, I should lay down the foundation of what you're about to learn:
- I was born into a normal family, with loving parents.
- I came out at the age of sixteen.
- I work for a bank, but my passion isn't numbers or money; it's in words.
- I typically vote Liberal.
- I come from a military family - we've all been involved in some small part.
- I have few hobbies: writing, dancing, movies.
- I can be considered obsessive, I see it as being organized.
- I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba...at least, during this chapter of our unremarkable tale.
- I am twenty-two years old.
- ...
It would be easy for me to begin this little tale of mis begotten drama, somewhere during the nine months while my mother cared for me in her womb, or perhaps in the delivery room. After all, that's where most stories begin, is it not? I suppose if you want to be litteral that might be the case. To hell with the human gestation period...lets fast forward a few years...
This is the beginning of my newest project. I don't know what medium it will take form in, but its been something brewing in my mind over the last several weeks. Before you ask, no this is not a life story or some biography. For the sake of practicality I used the intro with several personal details, however as the character grows those details will be supplanted with pieces of information more relevant to the story itself. Plus, what do you think I am...some sort of egomaniac? Who would really want to read a life story about me? I certainly wouldn't pick up a copy...
That brings the number of working projects to four. This story, the sequel to my first Elizabeth novel, the story of Aeris Raine and my angel screenplay. We'll see which one gets completed first.
Anyone wanna make any bets on either of these upcoming challenges? Make me a deal...I dare you...
