Don’t stop and smell the roses.

It’s the worst possible thing to do if you’re not looking for love. And I wasn’t, but when I stopped and smelled the roses, literally, something happened to me. Or really, someone. My name is Kit Rossi and this is my story.

And yeah, I’m probably the only girl you’ll ever find not searching for love but it’s not like I don’t like guys. It’s just that in everyone’s mind, summer is about one of those short and sweet summertime loves. But I don’t want my summer to be about that. If I’m finding a guy this summer, I want it to be for keeps and no one believes in that. It’s like it’s against summertime rules or something.

Either way, my summer definitely didn’t come out to be the way I pictured it. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start from the beginning.

    I really enjoy the conversational tone of this. I’m not really a “love story” guy (though I admit to being a huge fan of romantic comedies, Sleepless in Seattle is one of my favorite movies), but this did pique my interest.
    You’ve got a couple scattered spelling errors, but they don’t really detract from the story too much.

    ”..my summer defiantly didn’t come..”
    spelled definitely=]
    i always had trouble with that word too. i could neverrrr spell it right. then i’m like “uhduh, it’s just definite with the -ly end” and i felt story.
    but before i write you a novel on my mistakes i’ll get back to this story=]
    i really like this, it’s a really good beginning! i totally love love stories, so i’m going to keep up with this one!

    Sorry, it’s just habit for me to look for that sort of stuff. Reminds me to do it to my own work.
    Specifically, you wanted “but it’s not like I don’t like guys” in that third paragraph, and you used “defiantly” instead of “definitely” in the last paragraph.

    That’s what I get for typing up a comment, then walking away from my desk for a few minutes before hitting submit. What’s the embarrassed emoticon?

    I like how you set up your character as someone who’s looking for something deeper. And in the end where your narrator gets ahead of herself and goes back to the beginning is a nice narrative touch, as well.

    I have come back to read the beginning!

    I like the intro, and how it gives a brief insight into the character’s motives.

    Good job!
