OK, we got that out of the way, now to the good stuff.
I want stories about women that make us feel good. I DO NOT want Rom-Con. I do not want drama stories that make me want to take up drinking or drugs. In other words, don't give me stories that make have us feeling overly depressed. I want stories of inspiration. I want stories that make us feel that we can do it.
This is where I am coming from.
As I am writing this, I am watching THE LOST KITCHEN which is my latest binge watch (thank you Erin French (check her out on Instagram@thelostkitchen) (tell her you heard about this on my blog)
These are stories about inspiration. These are stories about real people. But here is the thing. I DO NOT want BIOGRAPHIES and I DO NOT want real stories where you just changed the name to protect the innocent.
I want you to tell me stories that make me feel good. I want you to teach me a lesson. I want you to think that your story has a "theme" and a "message". There was a block of time, at the early stages of women's fiction when women told these stories. But then they felt that the only way they could get attention was to make the stories so incredible, was to make it over the top.
I am sorry but the world is done with it.
Share this with your friends.
If you have this story, Send it to me.
If you have a friend who has this story, send it to me.
If you are a write with an editor at a publishing house, tell them that we need to move on. This IS the new trend.
I will bring you the next trends next week.
