It was a Saturday; I was fooling around town.....when I saw someone coming over to me. It was a psychic and she was talking at me. ‘My naaameee is Christina Sayer (ChristinaSayer@yahoo.com) and I can foretell your liffffe...’
And you are going to be a famous Romantic Fiction writer....this year BOOOOOM
It wasn’t the famous part, or the writer part or even the teacher part...but the genre part! I have written a YA book and a middle grade book. Both of which are being left to age for a while. And here I was being told that I was going to change genre completely and then get a book deal and become famous. Say whaaaat?
So, there you have it. I will be a famous romantic fiction writer, this year! And here’s the rub; I have been to psychics a few times before, OK...a lot of times, and most of what they said came true! But as the mammy says, ‘everything tastes better with a pinch of salt!!’
Right, I’m off. I need to do a bucket load of research on rom-com fiction, suss out agent du jouir Sheila Crowley, oh and season my future book dreams with salt!
Wanna share any psychic stories you have in the comments section below? G'waaan!
.
I am a Rubber Bandits. After a day of teaching - I like to drag down my hair, load on the red lippy, tear off the carrdie, climb into the heals and blast on Rubber Bandits! (Preemptive note: This band is ironic, no this is not how Limerick people are and yes..even though I am a teacher I am allowed to have a sense of humour out of class!) Oh and yeah...I do sing along in a high pitched voice!
Anyway back to the point. I was at a psychic and she asked me if I was famous! ‘Whhha? Like, no...I mean, I have a Twitter account...but sure that doesn’t count?’
She smiled and said that no it doesn’t count. She said she saw success and victory all around me, a happy life near a train station and fame.....
Here is a tiny bit of what she said:
You will go on to study a masters. TICK
You are getting married this year. TICK
You love to learn and are very career orientated. TICK
You love teaching but I can’t see you teaching for long..... TICK (wait...what?)
And you are going to be a famous Romantic Fiction writer....this year BOOOOOM
