Every now and then I read a juicy Romantic Novel. I like that they don't require brain cells to comprehend. It's also nice to lose yourself in a completely unrealistic situation and forget about real life problems. Romantic novels and reality tv. Those two things give me a silly escape from the everyday stresses of living with a chronic illness. The only problem with Romantic Novels is that they aren't realistic... at all! For once, I would like to read a Romantic Novel filled with realistic situations. Awkward, uncomfortable situations. So, I'm writing one. Please enjoy this teaser to my Not-So-Romantic Novel.
Jane was pushing her squeaky cart down the busy aisles of the local Wal-Mart. Lost deep in thought about which spaghetti sauce she should buy, Jane recklessly pushed her cart forward. Just as she was about to turn the corner to the next aisle, she smashed into an oncoming cart filled with Chef Boyardi, Ramen Noodles, and the cheap toilet paper that scratches in all the wrong places. Slowly, Jane lifted her eyes to see the poor, broke owner of this cart. As soon as their eyes met, it was love. He was adorable with his pasty white skin, dark greasy hair, and chicken legs peaking out from under green plaid shorts. His tattered Star Wars t-shirt and white tube socks with sandals completed the intriguing ensemble. She couldn't wait to introduce herself and shake his clammy, sticky hand.
Yup, that's much more realistic! Haha! No, I'm not really writing a book. I just needed a little giggle today! Stay tuned to find out what happens with Jane and her mysterious, nerdy man friend! :-)
