Eye candy

Influenced by the book "Blonde" by Joyce Carol Oates

Eye-candy

The figure stood on the Italian renaissance inspired balcony and a coy smile spread itself across her marble white face. Is that really Marilyn Monroe, naked? How amusing! could be heard among the crowds below, far below the beautiful balcony and the even more divine Monroe.

Her name was seen everywhere; in magazines, on radio, posters and on the cinema screen. My safe corner, where no one can reach into my little shivering baby heart. She was now officially famous. Me, famous? No, that must be a mistake. A terrible one.  She was told that she was special, hadn’t she always known that? Being special was as natural as striking a pose, especially if you had a father who was famous in Hollywood and who everyone knew, except you. The mystery of it cast a fairytale shimmer around you. Someday, he would come and save you. Yes, he would.

She was born to be s star, an extraordinary delivery to the American nation. To the hungry eyes of the world, who only waited to get a bite of her, that delicious piece of human flesh. Its mouth watered!

Norma Jeane was like a washed-out t-shirt. She’d been worn by so many people. All the men in Hollywood and many more. There was barely enough cloth to wrap around herself now. Still, why would she need to cover her gorgeous self in clothes? She was more enjoyable naked!

Her fame was corrosive to her. I will only be alive as long as the world loves me, as long as I am needed.

I really liked it. Are you planning on adding anymore to it? I will have to look into Blonde

[Anna Lundgren]

Thanks so much! I haven't planned on doing it, do you think I should? Yes, please do. It's a masterpiece!

I think it would becinteresting to see where it could go, I think if you add an obsessive fan and maybe a family members point of view you could have quite a story

[Anna Lundgren]

Ok, thanks for the advice! Have you ever had anything published? I'd like to do that, but wonder how to go about it.

[jadda12]

No, I currently finished a book and edited it and I am sending it to literary agents now. I'm not and don't pretend to be, but I wrote a 60 thousand word book in 30 months while working a full time job 60 hours a week, so I learned along the way. I set a goal of writing between 500-1,000 words a day. 500 was the minimum. I think people are worried about what the write sucking, but I just wrote and during the second draft made changes with things.

Some people map out the story ahead of time and they will not have as much editing to do, and some people just write what comes to them, but will have to do much more editing. I am the type of person who will just write whatever comes to my mind and edit it out later.

My best advice would be to write a set amount everyday, focus on just the writing(don't worry about publishing or agents or anything else), and just get it done! If it gets picked up that would be awesome, but if it doesn't it taught you how to write a book and you will have that over everyone else who always says I should write a book but never does. Hope that helps!

Ha sorry that came out wrong
'I'm not an expert and I don't pretend to be
-I wrote it in 3 months not 30

[Anna Lundgren]

Oh, hi! Thanks so much for your advice, very useful! Have you published that book you've written here on this site? xxx

[jadda12]

I only have the the first chapter up on here I don't really know if I am going to put it all out on here

[Anna Lundgren]

Right, sure! What's it called?

The History of The Mayor

[Gomer LePoet]

Such a sad sad story of such a beautiful confused beauty. Everyone is special to that one who sees the inner beauty not just the glamour. Fine story :)

[Anna Lundgren]
