Fresh Starts

Posted at 08:14 AM on October 26, 2009

There's nothing I love more than starting a new story. Over the weekend I was a bit under the weather, but I had enough energy to start outlining my next WIP, a "fish out of water" Christmas story.

 

The title is Someday at Christmas (taken from the old Stevie Wonder song) and it's about an Atlanta lawyer from a dignified family who falls for an exotic dancer. Y'all do know that Atlanta is the strip club capital of the nation, right? He takes her home to meet the family for Christmas, and you can imagine the drama that ensues.

 

During my cold medicine-induced wooziness, I managed to put together this collage of the cast of characters. These are some good-looking black folks!

 

 

TOP ROW: The Gardner Family - Everett, Helene, Grandma, Family Home, Veronica and Lisette (sisters)

CENTER ROW: Christmas Dinner, Warrick "Rick" Gardner, Tamyra "Tamy" Allen, Sledding in New Jersey

BOTTOM ROW: Dreamland, Shanice aka "Luscious", Ouida (Tamy's BFF), Dreamland Bodyguard, Campbell (Rick's BFF)

No, I didn't know that about Atlanta! I LOVE starting a new story, too.
Do you still need crits on Hollywood Swinging?
