Writing: My Novel

I have been working on this short story for some time now and would like to get some feed back. I'm considering making it into a novel. This is the introduction. The first part of the story that I hope generates enough interest for the reader to keep reading. Let me know what you think!



Stirring Up Trouble (Working Title)

Introduction: Small Town Secrets

I’m your typical small town girl. I love small town life – the town square parties, family cookouts and the honky-tonk bars that serve minors. I am not a country music loving cowgirl, who works on a farm to help the family raise money to sustain their lives. I work in a small diner in town, and I tend to date the bad boys who don’t appreciate this town for it’s southern charm.

Life in a small South Carolina town is really just what you would expect. No rush hour traffic, tractors parked in parking places around the square, lots of people walking and shopping, and sometimes you even see folks riding their horses into town to go grocery shopping. The best part about small town living is that no one here has any secrets.

Well, they have them, and try to keep them, but no one ever can. Eventually your dirty laundry will be strewn all over town – and then the stares and the gossiping behind your back begin.

I know so well because this happened to me, not too long ago.
