Maple Leaf

Currently working on “Maple Leaf: Stage 1.” This is a project that leaves me feeling incredibly hopeful about the world and life in general. It’s much lighter than what I usually go for and it makes me feel as though I’ve in someway been carried back to a more innocent time.

Nadia–a girl with a secret past she’s trying to forget.
Bran–incredibly poor, he has big dreams for a much better future.
Winter–she never thought she would have to get over her first love.
Jason–all he’d ever wanted was a family; a group of people that would love him.
Freya–she’s always gotten her own way, and she’s not going to let that change now.
Benjamin–he was just doing a favor; he never expected for things to go so wrong.
Tia–being kidnapped was the most terrifying experience she’s ever had. She just wished it was over already.

I hate doing research!!! Okay, honestly, I had a good time this time 🙂 Especially when it included watching a bunch of soap operas and flipping through magazines. That is truly the kind of research that I enjoy. I’m so lazy.

My little sideline, “Maple Leaf,” is coming along very nicely and I’m tentatively hopeful that people will like it.

It’s not usually my thing and I think most people would be kind of surprised that I’m actually that “sweet and sensitive” because I totally come across as HARDCORE! Okay, not that hardcore, but a bit hardcore. Or at least like an emotionless robot.

OMG, just saw this Quicken Loan commercial. “Will you marry me?” The girl has a shocked, maybe happy expression, then she lowers her hand from covering her mouth and it’s more a “Oh crap, what now” expression. “I’m sorry, no. I think we should see other people. Especially your best friend.” Made me laugh, even though it was kind of stupid. Still, I bet in a couple of years he’ll be grateful that at least she was honest about it and didn’t wait to tell him until after they were married or even after he blew a ton of money on a gigantic wedding.
