Thank you so much to everybody who liked and reblogged and replied to my recent story excerpt post, which really needs a title less unwieldy than The Proposal Meets The Nanny Meets Faking It But With A Guaranteed Canon F/F OTP. (Aaarg, titles!) It is so awesomely motivating and thrilling to know that there are actually people out there who would like to read this story. 😀
I have been scribbling away for the past few days (14,000 words and counting), and here is another excerpt to prove it!
In this one, Riley’s best friend Nadia is giving Riley and Vanessa convincing-sexual-chemistry lessons. Because WHY NOT! It’s a pretending-to-be-a-couple romcom! Anything goes.

Ugh, can’t believe what they went for. Having a Charming once again ruin Regina’s happy ending, putting Hook and Emma together, and then having freaking ELSA be the bad guy? Ugh.

I wanted to watch in support of the lead being a woman almost 50 (also, Sarah Lancashire), but christ, the stuff happening to Ann? Can’t watch any more.

The Proposal meets The Nanny meets Faking It But With An Actual Canon F/F Relationship??
So, my current romcom romp writing project (hopefully soon to become my next Kindle release!) basically has the premise of:
Our heroine, a very chill and sort of winningly awkward nanny by the name of Riley, finds herself ensconced in a romcom scheme for the ages when the parents of the kids she nannies for split up. The husband has been having an affair with a much younger woman … and so his uptight workaholic wife Vanessa decides to retaliate by revealing the totally untrue fact that SHE’S BEEN SLEEPING WITH THE NANNY THE WHOLE TIME. Cue opposites attract fake couple shenanigans like never before!
(Is it at least 25% fueled by the futile dream that one day it will reach wildly successful heights resulting in a film adaptation, thus finally making my dream — all our dreams! — of a Kristen Stewart/Charlize Theron romcom come true? I DUNNO, MAYBE. Definitely. Yep.)
And I have to admit, I am just having way, way too much fun with this silliness.
An excerpt from the first scene, just for fun!
