Bad Week!!!

Hey guys!!!,
I've had a crap bag of two weeks that started on Valentine's Day. No Valentine this year!!!!! But I'm cool, better luck next year right?  

Monday started off the actual week of terribleness. First I fell in the snow and ruined my pants. If you've seen NYC snow after a day, let alone a month, you know why my Monday was horrible. I felt like I needed to disinfect my entire life after that, I still feel grossed out. Tuesday really wasn't bad, I can't complain honestly and neither was Thursday or Friday. Wednesday was just horrible. I'm a good daughter (I hope) so when mom wrote out a list for the market, I told her I'd go before I left. 

I go to the market for mom and this guy starts talking to me, trying his hardest to strike up a conversation, I tell him I'm not interested because the dude was old enough to be my father. He doesn't take the hint so I ignored him. I don't like being rude to people, it's just not me but sometimes though getting a little New York on people is the way to go, whether you want to or not. 

So I leave the area and go to another part of the market to get mushrooms, low and behold he comes strolling around the corner and tries to strike up the conversation again. I'm starting to really get pissed off by now and I'm like look pal get lost and walk away. I figure he'd get the hint right? Nope! 

I go into the freezer section and here he is, following me again. He's like you're so beautiful, you captivate me every time I see you I can't take my eyes off of you, but by now I'm just really annoyed. I don't say a word I just walk away from him and to the register. 

So I leave the market after I bought my stuff and the moment I walked out of the store he's there offering me a ride. Like I'm going to get in the car with him. He even tried to pull my cart to his car and I tugged it away and kept walking. Like some nerve right? 

So I ignored him and said hello to a cab driver I know. This guy is in front of the market begging me to get in his car and trying to give me his number. I started to get on the bus which was how I got to the market but I didn't want him to try to grab me while I waited, so I took a cab. I noticed this guy was waiting around for me to leave and I told my cabby to keep a eye out for him and he did. This guy followed my cab, my cabby took other streets and tried to lose this guy and he still somehow caught up with us. So we get to my street and my cabby pulls up at a different house, the guy drives up the other block and my cabby is in like total disbelief, so am I. I get out, take my bags out and go into the house. Lucky break I got inside before the stalker could see where I lived. But he drove up and down the street twice trying to see which house I went in to before he left. 

My mother couldn't believe it, I was just disgusted. I mean when a girl says no she means no, not for you to follow her home. Not to toot my own horn or anything but I've had guys tell me I was beautiful before but they were always so respectful. 

Like I went with my mom to a local flea market a few years back and I was helping her pick out these little crystal figurines she likes, we were teasing each other like we always do and joking back and forth. This guy walked up to us, excused his-self and told me I was beautiful, I was flattered and like taken aback. But I thanked him and he walked away, that was it. He didn't follow me, he didn't harass me he said it and that was all.  

Every woman has something they hate about themselves. Me, I feel like I'm too tall and have bucky teeth which they are bucky. I don't mind admitting that at all. But that whole thing made me really angry. Essentially he was stalking me. I told my mom I don't mind going to the market for her but I was going to do it on Saturday mornings from now on, just to avoid possibly bumping in to this guy. Next time I may have to go back to my old ways. There was a time where I didn't mind embarrassing a guy if he couldn't take a hint but as I got older I saw how wrong it was and I stopped doing it. Besides it made me feel bad when I made other people feel bad. 

Anyway, I'm not sure if I wrote it here last time but I've been writing three new stories and rewriting a mystery. My mystery is a female sleuth story that I wrote so long ago and I found it on an old drive. I decided to make it into a series so I can't wait to get that out. I'm just not certain if it'll go to Amazon, Smashwords or Kobo.  All of my books have been released on Smashwords but I've had Amazon and Kobo accounts longer than I've had Smashwords and I never published on any of them. God knows I've got a billion stories rattling around in my head so there's enough to go around.

My other stories are romances. One is about a woman who divorces her movie star husband after she find out he's cheating and moves back to her home state. She falls in love with her neighbor who is totally different from her ex. I'm still panning it all out.

The second one is about a woman who in her youth, dated a criminal. He was a headbanger, he drove a Thunderbird, had a motorcycle and hung out with bikers. The girl in the story came from an extremely wealthy family and her father didn't like the fact that she was seventeen and dating a twenty three year old man. Years later she basically breaks up with the guy because her father threatened to take away her trust fund. But the story speeds ahead seventeen year when the she decided to leave everything behind to go find her ex. She still loves him and along the way she realizes that things in their relationship weren't as perfect as they seemed back then. 

This story is a bit of a nod to my love of 80's and early 90's rock, I grew up listening to Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Ratt, Tesla and all those old bands before I went straight hip-hop in fourth grade then grunge in sixth grade. I LOVE music, you would never believe how many of my friends are shocked by my playlists. On my IPod I have a classical, classic rock, 80's,  Back in Da Day with all my old hip-hop and rap(you know Salt -N- Pepa, Kid N Play, A Tribe Called Quest, Heavy D and the Boyz, Mobb Deep, early Jay-Z, all of the good old stuff), Disco, 90's, 90's Alt. rock, New Jack Swing, Jazz, Jazz Standards, a list called Headbangers Ball(I used to sneak downstairs at night to watch it on MTV when I was a kid), and I even have a Selena list. 

The last story is a time travel tale. I'm still working out the kinks. I'm not sure if I'll have my hero dropped in to this world or a future world or if I'll have him come here in conquest of this world. Either way he's going to fall in love with a tough as nails streetwise woman who tries to save his life and she's going to discover something about herself that she didn't know before. 

I'm so excited to get these stories going. I absolutely love creating stories and I love when my fans love them too. It's so much fun!
Oh and by the way speaking of stories, I know that I've not put Tessa back out yet but first of all I'm changing the name back to Runaway after weeks of debating with myself over the title. And second I'm reediting it so that there are no grammatical errors in the story. I try to make certain my fans are getting what they pay for which is a good story that they feel is worth their money. So bear with me please and I will have it out ASAP. 

I wrote on my twitter that a woman named Marlene wrote me about a book of erotic stories I wrote and she couldn't find it, I will put it out again soon, I'm reediting that also. I may offer it for free since it's been such a long wait. But I'll try to get it out soon as well. 

Well I'm gonna hit the bricks, it really beautiful outside today. I'm going to hang out with big sis today. Yesterday was her birthday and we're having dinner. See ya!

Go out and enjoy the beautiful sunny day!!!! This upcoming week will be icy again.
