Fairy Tale Or Finance by Tiffany V Bobb
Most aspects of my life contain some kind of fun story that led to my current state of affairs. Today’s fun story is about my first novel, Fairy Tale Or Finance. I originally wrote a 13 episode screenplay for a comedy series I planned to pitch. After its completion, I decided to condense it into a feature film. Then, I did nothing with it, and forgot about it.
About 2 years later, I randomly decided I wanted to write a book. After about 12-15 minutes of brainstorming, I remembered my screenplay, and began the process of turning a screenplay into a manuscript. Since I printed it out, I went through pages upon pages, and re-typed the story, occasionally adding, and removing various parts. So overall, it was a fun, and easy process, because the story was established.
After the screenplay became a manuscript, I went back and tweaked some scenarios, and realized I had to translate some of the dialogue, because you can’t fully grasp a story by reading a transcript of people speaking. It’s a romantic comedy, however, there is much more comedy than romance, and that was a deliberate choice.
Fairy Tale Or Finance centers on my main character, Cameran. Her personality and speaking is similar to mine, however, none of the situations have happened to me, especially having to choose between a doctor, and a stand-up comedian. Oh, that’s really the story. She is the last single girl in her group of friends, and she is in a passion-less relationship with a doctor, until she randomly meets a stand-up comedian she feels is her soulmate. (totally normal, right?)
When she is ready to dump her doctor for a stand-up comedian, her friends suggest she date them both, before throwing away the man who is perfect on paper. Again, has this scenario ever happened? Probably. Is it common? Of course not! But I thought it was a funny situation, and the comedy, including the stand-up is spectacular.
Although the choice between a doctor and a stand-up comedian is rare, one girl being the last single girl isn’t rare. I was in that position. Going to wedding after wedding, buying gifts, then baby shower, after baby shower, and buying MORE gifts, was exhausting. When we were little girls, we fantasized about our ideal husbands, what he would look like, and what our lives would entail. It’s not until you live, and experience life that you realize that different people have different paths, and everyone has their time. You also don’t realize the picture perfect families you see on social media, aren’t always as blissful as they seem.
Love is a journey, and a relationship requires two people who can meet each other’s needs and wants, and are dedicated to building and maintaining a foundation.
