The Coming of a Woman

Being wrapped around your body
         sweat dripping
            over every inch
                  of each body
Feeling my heart
          racing
            againest
              your bare chest
Feeling your hands
          over alll parts
             of my
              virgin body
In the part
          of my life
            between a woman
                 and a child
Taste my first
          taste of
            love
             bittersweet
Suddenly
          my female
                lightning bolt
                  races through my body
I had never thought
          laying next to you
               you would be the one
                   to let my woman come out

        

New contest

I entered my first story for Scinti. This is the first contest of theirs I am entering. I actually rewrote my story three different times. Here is some of the beginning. You will have to wait to see if I make the finals to read the rest of my story.

Excitement filled my heart when I heard my mother call me into her bedroom one October morning before school. I had heard her on the phone talking while I was getting dressed for school. Erin, my best friend, was mentioned. It could only be that she was going to come over and stay another weekend. A few months prior to this morning, she had come to stay because her parents had gone on a business trip. Skipping to some unknown exciting news, I entered my parents’ room. The scene there was not something that I had expected to see. My sister and dad were both on my parents’ bed with tears in their eyes. My thirteen-year-old brain was completely confused. They would not be crying if Erin was going to spend another night. Maybe she had to move again. She had moved out of our town a year prior to this crisp and cold fall morning. I sat on my mother’s bed facing her with a look of confusion.

Publishing research

I took the day to research some publishing outlets for webzines. I found the site to Chicken Soup for the Soul story submission. I love these books so much that I have now formed this into one of my goals. I will need to work on stories within their guidelines. I found a listing of other publishing companies on this website:

This will be a great thing to accomplish. With being published in their book, an author will receive ten free copies of the book that their work is published in.

random story plot

I woke up this morning with an idea for a story. I know I sound like Stephanie Meyer from Twilight. I think she was on to something with the dream inspiration. Anyway, here is the plot.

Two women travel across the united states. They sometimes get rides to places and sometimes have to travel on foot. In my dream, they were in Texas and met up with a restaurant owner named Cobb. Cobb gives them a hard time about being in Texas. He is supicious of their situation (he thinks they are gay). Of course, Texas is not known for it's tolerance in alternative lifetstyles. Anyway, one of the girls convincing Cobb to give them both a job to raise money to continue on their journey. They have been traveling since New York...blah...blah. This is what I have so far. What do you think?
