Suburban Goddess

I’ve always wanted to write a book. Years ago, I went through a trashy romance novel phase, reading about 3 per week. After you read that many trashy romance novels, you begin to see the pattern, so I took the formula and set out to write my own. The problem was, I didn’t know how to fill out the boring parts in between the steamy ones, because honestly, who cares about those details? That’s not why you read trashy romance novels. That’s like watching wrestling for the amazing acting. So the project fell to the side, left in an orange binder that I pull out of my closet sometimes & laugh at.

I thought about writing about my experiences as a waitress for a certain old country store, but there was really no way to tie it all together successfully. I suppose if I wrote it under the guise of fiction, it might fly, but I want people to know what’s REALLY happening to their food behind those doors. (You will either develop a cast iron stomach or NEVER eat out again). It’s not fiction, people. Seriously. Be nice to your waiter.

Now I’m at the crossroads again, inspired to put my life down on paper, because my life has been pretty interesting. Somebody might read about it. You’re reading about it now, so somebody has to be interested. If anything, there’s some funny parts in it, and if it makes you smile, then that makes the endeavor worthy of the time…..
