The Damsel is a short story, 3,335 words (about 9 pages in a paperback novel, or 14 pages printed out) about Ashton Monroe, a professional Damsel in Distress, who loses her job when the #1 hero falls in love, and everyone knows that Love Interest trumps Damsel in Distress. Now she has to find a way to break back into the business.
I absolutely loved writing this story, and it was much easier than a lot of the other things I've tackled lately. I came up with the idea at the start of a 6:30a shift at work and wrote it down. My coworker liked the idea and I was excited writing about it, so I brainstormed the rest of the day and began writing last night. I just finished, putting in 2,646 words today alone, which is pretty amazing for me. Ashton has such a strong voice in this piece and she is honestly the most fun I've had writing in a long time. I even stuck out first person for her, not something I'm exactly known for.
I'm really excited for people to read it, because I think I did a really good job this time. No clue what I'm doing with this, if I want to get it published or if I can, but if anyone wants to read it, leave a comment with your email address and I'll send it to you.
