Hey, guys. I did it. I just finished my layer of adding the guy's side of complaints to the story. I still think it is a little flat. I mean it's all been said before. But this is just the way you do it. Layer by layer without editing. It's coming along.
My next layer is to add the comedy. I really, really have to be in the highest of spirits for this layer so, I will be starting sometime this week when it is natural with an hour or two of work on it everyday. If you remember the original P&P, there is a lot of comedy just from the narcissistic mother and the bratty sisters. But, for my story, it needs a lot more punch. This is actually the fun part of writing. I will be listening to a lot of crazy fun 50s music and possibly some cartoons to stay in the mood. I do live around family and a you know how that goes. One negative word and BOOM! Makes writing this personal. Anyway, thanks for checking back. I probably won't be back for a week and a half. The comedy portion is going to be very important, as Jane Austen did so well lifting a regular comedy above the rest with her comedic characters I have to do the girl justice.
See you later, Girls and Guys.
Love,
Denise Rochelle M.

Update
I will start posting some more cool topics once there is more interest in the blog and questions. Right now, I am still rewriting layer by layer. I am about to start my fourth re-write focusing more on the comedy and the funny part of the prejudice black men have of black women.
Give me a shout out anywhere about anything. I'm in no rush. Looking to have a final draft by end of December.

What Are Your Prejudices?
This book and blog is not going to be for people who think these thoughts on their own, but are afraid of looking like racists for saying it out loud. If so, maybe another blog is more suited. Who knows, I may be the only one who thinks this way, but that's why it's called "My" not "Black Women's Prejudice".
If you look at the about page you will see that the biggest offense that started it all was that I was seen as lower and less by a black man just because he had strong black mama issues. He saw every black woman in a negative light and wanted to do anything possible to be distanced from any woman who said anything about him when it came to romance, no matter how truthful it was. "The sky is blue". "You think, you know everything. The sky is not blue." Along these lines. If this is news to you, then maybe you are lucky to not experience such injustice.
My prejudice was that black men that were like this were kind of a sissy who do not want to be around 'real' women who have an opinion. They like their women to be exactly what society thinks is beautiful and outstanding before they decide she is worthy. This type of guy is similar to Mr. Darcy, the co-character of the original 1800's Pride and Prejudice, and he who sparked my rewriting the tale in modern day, black society.
It will offend, but I am tired of keeping quiet; if only I am the one who views this blog, or reads my book upon its release it will be enough. I will be fine with just me, God and the angels knowing of its existence because it has been a very, very befitting healing process to heal my heart of people who have shown prejudice and never seen me as equal, and I came close to believing them. Anyway. That is all for now.
What are your grievances about black men or black women, or men or women in general if you hate to use color as a reference to a person?
Love you,
Denise Rochelle:)
