Melodie Michelle: I hope everyone had a magical Christmas and New Year's for 2023!

God bless all of my FanStory family and may all your wishes come true for the New Year ahead!


Melodie Michelle: Happy New Year's Eve everyone here at FanStory! God bless you each and every one in 2023!


Melodie Michelle: I landed a writing job a few days ago. A friend is involved in a publication that will debut in about two weeks. He told me that he needed someone to write an ongoing saga - soap opera - each month. It has to be about five women, of various ages, working in a beauty salon and five men, of various ages, working in a barber shop. The story has these ten characters, their families and their lives in the spotlight, if you will. Then I figured ten (((at least))) characters that were the clients of these hair kings and queens!
It takes forever to build a character in finding out. I just hope I can get 'er done in two weeks!/
Poetry is much different and I'm better with poetry because it tends to flow thru my soul (((soul is made of your mind, your will and your emotions))) thru my entire body out thru my fingers into the screen.
Anyway any advice would be appreciated about writing prose since it's not my forte'. It's fiction so it cannot be written thru my soul. I want to help someone thru my writings but I'm very grateful for this job of writing tho, it's like a dream come true!
    Rachelle Allen: I would recommend you visit a few salons and take notes. You'll have a YEAR'S worth of ideas. The drama of those places is second to nothing!! I refer to the people who work there as "Salon Girls," and they have INCREDIBLY drama-filled lives. And they remember everyone ELSE's drama, too!! They fascinate me.

    It might be interesting to compare and contrast the barbershop men with the Salon Girls. Offer up one of each in every issue, maybe? They could be the ones whose lives are most alike or the most different. Giving them similar clients but how they handle them/make suggestions on their lives/think of them could be polar opposite.

    Down the road, maybe one of the barbershop clients jumps ship to the salon?

    I'm interested in this publication and seeing where you take this. Please private message me with details if you'd like. I always like to support new endeavors.

    Good luck with your new assignment!! -
    Melodie Michelle: Thanks for all your smart advice and I'm going to follow it for the the most part but I'd already started on the characters and places and the backgrounds on all of that so I was going in the right direction for that, after all!

    I need ideas for the monthly stories and the first one debuting should blow people's minds. I need IDEAS PLEASE! I have one week to get that story finished plus I gotta get the characters backgrounds finished and build a few of them still. I've only got four done to completion. -

Melodie Michelle: I'm back! Is been a crazy three months since I've been here last! My landlady and best friend passed away on July 4, 2021 (the angel I wrote "My Angel, my friend" about) and her husband is a real piece of work. We all don't know whether we are going to have to move out or not! He's hateful to those that live here and it's just been real crazy around here!
My partner and I are doing great tho and I thank You, Jesus, for that man every single day;-)
I've prayed for all of y'all while I was away and I missed being here a lot!

God bless y'all ...
    robyn corum: It's awesome to see you back! We have to remember that those hard things make us stronger. hehehe Some times it seems God thinks we need to be reminded OVER AND OVER, though. UGH.

Melodie Michelle: Thank you so for your support during this horrible time. I've never been this close to a murder ever and I cannot get it out of my head. Thoughts racing, wondering what if and how? Y'all made me feel better thank you;-)


Melodie Michelle: Happy Easter everyone!


Melodie Michelle: I just wonder how to break the barrier with people that are so cold they don't even realize how cold they've gotten ... I pray for those people!


Melodie Michelle: I'm getting closer to my goal of self publishing my erotica stories and my book of poems!
There's still a few more things I have to take care of before that happens but it's cool bc I'm inching closer every single day!

Thank you so for your tremendous support of my poetry. I love you guys;-)


Melodie Michelle: It's so good to back, almost to normal;-) I guess I wasn't worried during the pandemic because I'm mostly a hermit anyway;-) My guy and I are doing amazing and I couldn't be happier! I miss my kids and my grand kids and I still haven't met my bonus great grandson yet but I hope to soon;-) Y'all have a remarkable rest of the week and God bless;-)
    greyson ernst: welcome back even though i have not seen your profile at all -


Melodie Michelle: With this covid-19 thing going on I've barely had the money to keep up my month by month membership here and it is very important to me that I have fanstory to be there for me!
Otherwise things with us are going great and we are just now getting used to my boyfriend being home again.

Happy New Year to all my Fanstory fans and buddies;-)

This is your year to sparkle;-)


Melodie Michelle: I miss you guys SO MUCH!


Melodie Michelle: I'm still here guys! I have a lot going on but I'm still writing! Y'all have an amazing weekend!


Melodie Michelle: I have missed you guys but as you probably know, I am enjoying every second that my boyfriend is home! A year and twenty days he was gone and I missed him terribly!
I'm writing again so I will see y'all soon!!!
    karenina: Girl, I KNEW you had better things to do! (smile)----Nice to see you back though!--Karenina -


Melodie Michelle: "Write from your heart ... Scribble down words when you're crying at 2 am ... or right after you got home from spending time with someone you love ... whenever your emotions are at their peak ... Writing is best when it's pure and raw and genuine ... Don't filter when you write ... Just let your soul flow out from you onto the page ..."

    Eve Vasa: This is a great idea for the first draft, which is the 1% inspiration, then comes the editing process, the 99% hard work. -
    Joanne Gill-Maddick: I love this I could get inspired at 2 in the morning if I do I just get up and write. Like you said no filter just let it flow. It?s wonderful 🙂 -
    webfoot: yes Melodie, that's what i've been doing lately when an ex who i thought highly of "turned on me" and is cyber bullying me all over the web. Writing really helps:) -
    Berenice: Just thought I'd send you some love today. Having had the courage to leave a narcissistic husband a year or so ago, I am only now feeling my creative spark returning. I am not stupid, my writing is not rubbish and I am free! Best wishes to you and may you continue to write and inspire others. Kind regards Berenice -


Melodie Michelle: I hope everyone has an amazing and blessed weekend;-)


Melodie Michelle: Just wrote another poem about my partner coming home on August 20th!

Melodie Michelle: Well it's almost the weekend and there's a lot I have to do before my guy comes home on August 20th!

I'm so excited and would y'all mind praying for an unspoken prayer request, please!?
Thank you so much;-)

    Therese Caron: When are you coming back? I miss you.

Melodie Michelle: My guy and I are doing great, under the circumstances, but my mind wants to go to these people who think they are better than others. That right there should tell them that they ARE NOT!😜
    Bunglie: You obviously love and need your Guy. Don?t conform to societies norm if you don?t want to. The best advice I ever got was from a friend who said, ?If it feels right it is right.? A simple rule but true. Inside we all have a voice that says yes or no, so listen to your voice and say **** off to those who don?t understand the daily torments you endure. Good luck and freedom comes from within, I hope you both fly xxx -


Melodie Michelle: It's the weekend that will probably bring a lot of poetry out in me ... Kinda sad but happy ... It's CrAzY 💋 to many emotions today. My guy is missing me like I am him, we just got off the phone. (((Sigh)))


Melodie Michelle: My thoughts tonight are on people that don't believe in kindness.

You can give constructive criticism with a kind voice and out of a kind heart. You don't have to call them names in a third party kind of way or sound cocky talking about "oh thankfully I don't know anything about crack cocaine, etc ..." sounding like they are superior to you.

I feel sorry for those people because evidently they haven't had to many people be kind to him.
    Therese Caron: I believe firmly in kindness, even to complete strangers, and try to practice it daily.

Melodie Michelle: I'm so stoked from my EXCEPTIONAL REVIEWS from my very first poetry entry, "until I see you again"! I really never expected such amazing things to be said about my poetry! Wow is all I can say!
