Who teaches a
female-seeking-female how to date? If
you know, did your father or brother take you aside? Maybe you
learned everything from a gay boyfriend. (Now, that would make for an interesting story!)
Tell me how you made magic happen. (Don’t worry about grammar. I’ll clean it up or leave it alone- just let me know what you want.)
Come on- tell me a tale. I’ll publish the bad and the good, giving us a means to
connect.
Your story might be a few sentences or a few pages. Here's some ideas to get started. The most important part is--tell your own tale.
1. Set the stage. Tell me where you were when you saw her.
Were you celebrating with friends or alone on
a park bench?
Were you ready for this love or running from reality?

2. Who are the players?
Are you a work-a-holic, a starving artist or something-stuck in-between?
Are you addicted to someone you can’t have?

3. Add the obstacle.
Were you too much in your head to come out and play...or you needed to check your ego?
This is where you tell me what wasn’t going right, what wasn’t.

This is where you tell me what wasn’t going right, what wasn’t.
4. And then, a spark.
What did you put in motion that changed the course of events...or, did your object of desire open a door and let you in?
This is where you tell me what finally went right.

5. Add the peripheral players
Who supported your pursuit?
Did your parents or priest play matchmaker?
So many times the people who perpetuate our realities and feed our souls don’t live in our world. This blog/book is as much for them as it is for us.
