An Author's Life BNG Part 1
Use the six sided dice: http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/reso...s1/maths/dice/
You are a recent college graduate living by the sea in a small town. You are renting a small apartment near the beach, and are working at the newspaper of a city awhile away. You don't enjoy the job, it isn't interesting at all. But you don't know what else to do, where to begin. So on a whim, you begin to write a novel one night.
What's your name? (you choose)
Where are you living?
1. Bar harbor, Maine
2. Chincoteague Island, Virginia
3. Kelley's Island, Ohio
4. Dennis, Massachusetts
5. Ventura, California
6. Seal Beach, California
One day, you go to the library to get a thesaurus. You need a good word in your novel, but can't find the right one. So you bike over to the library, to find it is closed. So, already in town, you decide to get some ice cream at the little shop nearby. There, you meet a boy who begins to talk to you. By the time you arrive back at your apartment, it's beginning to get dark out, and his number is scribbled on your wrist.
What's his name? Choose from this list (last name is your choice.): http://nameberry.com/list/106/Relaxed-Names-For-Boys
You two date for (roll the dice times 3) months before he proposes. He takes you on a walk around the beach, and when you're at the waters edge, he gets down on one knee in the water. You're so caught off guard that it's so early, but you realize that no matter the time, you know it's meant to be. You say yes, and spend the next few months planning the wedding.
What does your dress look like?

You are married on the beach, with just close friends and family watching. You go off on your honeymoon, (your choice) and come back to find out you are pregnant. You are worried, you are younger than anyone you knew with their first baby, but also extremely excited. You know (DH) will be a great father. Quickly, you buy a home together and lovingly create a nursery for little baby. You find out it's a boy!
What does your home look like?

During your pregnancy, with all those sleepless nights, you finish your novel. You are amazed at how well it turned out. You send it to your mom, who reads it and immediately tells you to send it to an editor. You do. You send it to someone you know at the newspaper who tells you she'll look it over. You are very happy and now relax to wait for the baby.
On July eighth, you give birth to a healthy, happy, baby boy. He comes out screaming, but quickly, you see him smile. His first and middle names come from: http://nameberry.com/list/218/Yupster-Names-for-Boys
It's tough with your husband working all day as (occupation) but you get through it.
10 months after he is born, you receive an email from that editor. She read your story and loves it. She asks you to revise it a bit, changing a little here and there, but then, she says, she'll publish it! You are ecstatic. You have a wonderful husband, an adorable little son, and now you are about to become a published author.
To celebrate, your husband whisks you away on a short trip to the city. While there, you become pregnant. With your son isn't even one year old, and you are already pregnant again. You're worried this is too much, too soon, but your mother convinces you it's lovely, and nine months later, you have twin girls!
First names come from http://nameberry.com/list/35/Girly-Girl-Names Middle from http://nameberry.com/list/46/Janes-I...nal-Variations
The day after your twins are born, the editor sends you an email that your novel will be in stores in (roll the dice) months! You can't wait. You quit your job to stay at home with your children.
That time later, your book appears at the local bookshop. Proud, you show it to people around town. In five months, it's appearing in the news. And in the papers, and suddenly, it's on the bestseller list. You go on a few talk shows, but mostly keep to yourself. You do no need all that attention. But you are getting wealthier and wealthier, which is nice. And soon, you have enough money to buy a bigger house for your three kids. On the beach still, of course.
PART 2 WILL BE POSTED TOMORROW! HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT!Life is too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.

Crushes:Jem and Louisiana and Sophronia and Georgiana

You have a wonderful husband, an adorable little son, and now you are about to become a published author.
To celebrate, your husband whisks you away on a short trip to the city. While there, you become pregnant. With your son isn't even one year old, and you are already pregnant again. You're worried this is too much, too soon, but your mother convinces you it's lovely, and nine months later, you have twin girls!
First names come from http://nameberry.com/list/35/Girly-Girl-Names Middle from http://nameberry.com/list/46/Janes-I...nal-Variations
Names: Anastasia Gianna Danvers & Valentina Jeanne Danvers
The day after your twins are born, the editor sends you an email that your novel will be in stores in 4 months! You can't wait. You quit your job to stay at home with your children.
That time later, your book appears at the local bookshop. Proud, you show it to people around town. In five months, it's appearing in the news. And in the papers, and suddenly, it's on the bestseller list. You go on a few talk shows, but mostly keep to yourself. You do no need all that attention. But you are getting wealthier and wealthier, which is nice. And soon, you have enough money to buy a bigger house for your three kids. On the beach still, of course.

You are a recent college graduate living by the sea in a small town. You are renting a small apartment near the beach, and are working at the newspaper of a city awhile away. You don't enjoy the job, it isn't interesting at all. But you don't know what else to do, where to begin. So on a whim, you begin to write a novel one night.
What's your name? Natasha Louise Reynolds
Where are you living?
1. Bar harbor, Maine
One day, you go to the library to get a thesaurus. You need a good word in your novel, but can't find the right one. So you bike over to the library, to find it is closed. So, already in town, you decide to get some ice cream at the little shop nearby. There, you meet a boy who begins to talk to you. By the time you arrive back at your apartment, it's beginning to get dark out, and his number is scribbled on your wrist.
What's his name? Louie Jack Henderson
You two date for 18 months before he proposes. He takes you on a walk around the beach, and when you're at the waters edge, he gets down on one knee in the water. You're so caught off guard that it's so early, but you realize that no matter the time, you know it's meant to be. You say yes, and spend the next few months planning the wedding.
What does your dress look like?

You are married on the beach, with just close friends and family watching. You go off on your honeymoon, Fiji and come back to find out you are pregnant. You are worried, you are younger than anyone you knew with their first baby, but also extremely excited. You know Louie will be a great father. Quickly, you buy a home together and lovingly create a nursery for little baby. You find out it's a boy!
What does your home look like?

During your pregnancy, with all those sleepless nights, you finish your novel. You are amazed at how well it turned out. You send it to your mom, who reads it and immediately tells you to send it to an editor. You do. You send it to someone you know at the newspaper who tells you she'll look it over. You are very happy and now relax to wait for the baby.
On July eighth, you give birth to a healthy, happy, baby boy. He comes out screaming, but quickly, you see him smile. His first and middle names come from: http://nameberry.com/list/218/Yupster-Names-for-Boys
Name: Tobias Felix
It's tough with your husband working all day as a Lawyer but you get through it.
10 months after he is born, you receive an email from that editor. She read your story and loves it. She asks you to revise it a bit, changing a little here and there, but then, she says, she'll publish it! You are ecstatic. You have a wonderful husband, an adorable little son, and now you are about to become a published author.
