I will, dang it... if it's the last thing I do! :)
I've done it before... I can do it again now.
Plus, this should be a fun story to write.
Though, I'm debating which year to set it.... 1962, or 1968? If it was set in 68, I would have to do some research about Vietnam, AND a ton of researching on the assassination of MLK Jr. and how the Civil Rights Movement officially ended.... But hey! It would mean a challenge! Which I LOVE taking on!
BUT... it's a story of all epic-proportions... I can FEEL IT! :) When I get an idea, there is noooo stopping me!
I'm thinking of naming it "Burnin' Glory" or something like that... but I'm not positive, yet.
Here's my preview for it:
Sarah-Lynn Bradford is just a typical teenage woman growing up in the 1960's in Georgia. She has her good and bad hair days, a life to die for, good grades, and a love for writing. BUT Sarah-Lynn also has a secret: She's in love with a black man.
Secretly meeting with him after her parents are asleep every other night, Sarah puts her safety and life on the line. If anyone were to find out her secret, she'd be shunned from High Georgian Society, and Tyrone would be lynched to death- possibly by Sarah's father.
But everything changes when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is assassinated, causing pure controversy.
Can Sara-Lynn and Tyrone finally receive the freedom to love each other as they wish without the ominous threat of persecution, or will it always be this way?
