Years ago, I started a story – A Fantasy About Love. It took me years to finish it, getting longer with each chapter.
A young couple met in Sydney, Australia, fell in love, they got involved with her mother, and had success in developing a logistics company from a local company to a national one. He was aggressive, the mother had money, and the daughter provided emotional stability. The three became four with another woman being added to the union, and the company grew into an international success. It was not easy – personal conflicts caused eventual problems, but having a solid love base, most were vanquished. Then life became interesting as their growing subsidiary in Poland was threatened with expropriation. They set a trap, caught the PM of the ruling party demanding money and the control of their company, went to the media, and resulting publicity had the ruling party losing the majority in the Sejm. The government fell and their company was saved.
It's a story based on love and trust and while relationships grow and decline, all’s well at the end – like a fantasy should.
The story was published first as one long piece (with a satisfactory reception), then edited and separated in eight parts – still with a good reception by the readers. Now I re-read my story and perceived that it could be improved. It took me seven months, a new editor helped, and I decided to re-publish in a rewritten, revised, and reformulated posting.
If you have read the original version, read it again to see how it has improved – the dialogues were especially improved, making the text flow easier and more natural. If you haven’t, try it. Please remember that only reward a writer has is the recognition that the reader liked it, and that is expressed in the rating you give.
In any case, enjoy it.
