"I'm Still a Woman" (Excerpt #1)
I've decided to try something...I'm going to write a novel right here on my blog--that's right! Right here on my blog! Below you will find the latest excerpt from my book entitled: I'm Still a Woman...please read and enjoy!
Chapter One
~ A SHORT SYNOPSIS ~
Ok this is the story, I've been a full figured woman all my natural life; the fact that I'm black is just an added bonus. Most of my family supports my decision not to loss weight; I did say most of my family. Of course you have your distant relatives that come into town every now and again trying to make you feel, ya know, unwanted, unloved, stupid stuff like that, and I did say "trying". Anywho, I'm the kind of woman that holds her own. Ya know, whatever they dish I may taste a little bit, but I have my own buffet and I'm passing out samples! Shoot, my momma always told us, my three sisters, one brother and I, not to take no mess from anyone; let alone stupid relatives. Now, I'm absolutely, positively certain that didn't include her and daddy--you can bet money on it! But back to the stupid relatives, I don't know why they feel, I should fell less than a woman because the good Lord blessed me with all this! I mean, what's wrong with a little mo' meat! Shoot, don't no dog want no bones, let alone a man! Besides, I've never had any problem finding a man, now keeping him that's a different story--and it has nothing to do with my weight. 'Cause if I haven't mentioned it, I'm fine as all get out! You better know it! Let me clue ya in a little; I'm twenty-six years young, roughly 5'3--ok, it's more like 5 '2 ½ with deep brown smoky eyes...inviting eyes...bedroom eyes, mid-ear length natural hair, but I've got so many wigs it'll make ya head spin! In all styles and colors too, don't mess with me! I'm a whole lot of woman in a whole lot of ways! Anywho, the Lord also blessed me with a small waist, big boobs, and a round shapely behind with beautifully matched bo' hips, a semi-flat stomach--you know only real women have a pouch! And I carry all this loveliness at a measly 180 pounds and I love every inch of it! Now if your white, you may think I'm crazy, thinking I'm all that, but if you're black--and a black male, well shoot, I'm just whatcha looking for!
So, whatcha think?!? Feel free to leave your comments/pinions, may they be unfavorable and highly critical (Oh God, no!) or positive and over-flowingly supportive (Oh God, YES!)
Seriously, I need you to be on the look out for things like continuity, writing myself into corners, things like that--not so much spelling (although I'm awful at it) I plan to critique that as I go along.
So, tell me whatcha think?! Bring it on! I can take it!
Here's a peek at tomorrow's excerpt...
Now my three sisters are a treat. Patricia, Tricia for
short (Daa) is the eldest, she’s thirty-two years old and has been married and
divorced three times working on her fourth and always wants to give advise on
love and relationships. Ironically that’s what she does for a living, she’s a
psychologist who specializes in relationships, needless to say, no one listens
to her--at least in this family. And if any of her patients knew her personal
life was in such shambles, I don’t believe they would either.

Wonderful writing! Is this fiction or autobiographical? Or a little of both? Either way, I really love the way you put a personal touch on it, like you're talking in confidence to a friend. By the way, to get your menu back to the top, have you tried deleting this entry and reposting maybe using a slightly different format?
Thank you, it really means a lot coming from someone outside of my circle of friends! "Is this fiction or autobiographical? Or a little of both?" ABSOLUTELY! It's a little of both! Again thank you for your compliment!
And no...I haven't tried that, but I will, thanks!
Well this explains why so many black men gawk at me. Hahaha. You know they like the curves...as does my husband! That's great ~ you really bring the character - or yourself - alive in this writing! Or maybe it's because I used to live in MI that I feel I know exactly how you are in real person.
Thank you! The character is softly based on my physical attributes! Apparently, yours too! U Go, Girl!
