story idea

so i had this great idea last night/this morning. while writing in my old journal catching myself up on all the relationships ive had in the last 3years, i decided to write about well that. i think that is the best thing i can do, it will be honest and well interesting to see how good my memory is. what i blocked out and what i remember like it was yesterday. i hope it all goes well. and i hope i have the proper motivation for it.

ok so this is just a normal blog.

i was think ing about a new story, it was something i had a dream about a month ago.  its been sitting in the back of my head bugging the crap out of me.  so yeah i thought id actually write it down.  its about a war, in america.  between america and russia.  it just happens with no warning at all.  the main character is a girl who just trying to survive during all the fighting and bombing.  she has company, and its a guy she kinda knows but they never saw eye to eye but they eventually are all they have left of the world they knew.  they eventually fall in love right before hes forced to go and fight for their country.  

so yeah the story is there, but im still working on the details.  obviously....well if i have any time or ideas ill write them on here.

Step One

Waking up was easy, when you still didn't belive what had become of your life. In my case I was in serious denial about a lot of things. One, I had recently moved in with my best friend and her family to save money. Two, I had a job that I loved, I mean seriously who actually likes working? I do, that's who. Three, I was dating my dream guy. I couldn't actually think about the last one, every time I did I felt the need to scream, or hyperventilate. Oh yeah and four, I had an amazing son who was incredibly smart. I couldn't actually believe my luck, most of my life I have been one of the few people who didn't get any luck. My parents died in a car crash when I was little so I was raised by my mom's parents. I loved my Grammy Tish and Gramps Mitch. Tish and Mitch, they too died when I was away at college for my freshman year. Grammy had a stroke and didn't recover and Gramps died of a broken heart, I missed them so much. My dads parents died before I was born so I never actually knew them. After Tish and Mitch died I had no one else in the world except my best friend, Kathy. Her mom took me in under her wing while Kathy and I finished school.

By the time we finished I had a steady boyfriend who asked me to move in with him. So I did, not really thinking about the consequences.
