the trashy romance novel I'm writing

So here’s my idea. A young, beautiful, white southern belle named Elizabeth Mae Compton (Ellie Mae for short) lives during the Civil War in South Carolina. She’s secretly an abolitionist. She works as an undercover agent seducing old mean white slave owners. While she is distracting them (this is when some trashy parts happen), the slaves can escape. But! She eventually falls in love with someone. I’m thinking she should fall in love with a slave, because that would make for some good trashy romance scenes, if you know what I’m saying. But then, she could also fall in love with a slave owner, which would create a lot of conflict.

But then I think maybe writing a trashy novel about the Civil War could be offensive, or like, distasteful? I hope not. I mean it’s like Gone With The Wind. Sort of.

For my birthday, Nathan took me to Olive Garden. When we left he told me we were going to Metal Bryan’s so that he could borrow halo 3. When I got there, Alisha and Chip jumped out. There were decorations and a cake. And I even had a Disney princess tiara to wear.

Yes, I had my very own little suprise party. I think it was one of the nicest things people have ever done for me. It was a very great day, and it reminded me there are still lots of nice people in the world.

Well, I guess that it’s typical
To cling to memories you’ll never get back again
And to sort through old photographs
Of a summer long ago
Or a friend that you used to know
And there below his frozen face
You wrote the name and that ancient date
And you can’t believe that he’s really gone
When all that’s left is a fucking song

And I’m sorry about the phone call and waking you
I know that it is late
But thank you for talking, because I needed to
Some things just can’t wait…
