Diamond Gothic #1: Our girl wrote a novel. Seriously. Her talent is immeasurable. Come check it out!
1  What is Diamond Gothic? "DG began as a short narrative written one bored & rainy evening in Wilmington, North Carolina where I was filming the final season of One Tree Hill. If you know me at all, you know I have a MILLION balls in the air and the idea of starting a new project wasn’t even an option. But if I could collaborate... I thought... And within a few days the concept of a rotating internet novel was born!"---BJG  The Authoresses "Without hesitation the HelloGiggles team outstretched a hand to help a fellow sista. They introduced me to the lovely and hilarious JC Coccoli who I knew would lend a playful and smart-as-a-whip voice to the story; and, for another unique voice, I approached long-time galpal, actress & writer Abigail Spencer, to be our third authoress. I sent out chapter one and said “lets play!”---BJG Bethany Joy Galeotti  Abigail Spencer  JC Cocolli   Who Shot Annabel Hayworth? In 1929 Savannah, Georgia, Annabell Mason-Hayworth has just turned 18 and has all the privilege a young girl of southern comfort ought to have. She’s terribly excited to finally be a woman and to show-off her new womanly-ness to any boy who’s keen to notice. But, this year’s annual stay at the Mason’s summer home in Savannah will bring about much more than new romance. A marriage is crumbling, a faithful friend is hiding a deep secret, an old nemesis returns-- as does a handsome troublemaker, there are buried family secrets just dying to be unlocked, and murder is in the thick, southern air...  The Story Chapter One DG Information HelloGiggles Diamond Gothic on Twitter Diamond Gothic on Tumblr Diamond Gothic's Blog BJL on Twitter Abigail Spencer on Twitter Jc Cocolli on Twitter Annabel Hayworth on Twitter Nessie on Twiiter Theodore Wentworth on Twiiter Jason Wentworth on Twitter BJL's Blog Abigail Spencer's Tumblr  -Women of Legend- O my child, the heart is a perilous thing. The heart crowns all paradoxes of God; made of muscle and steel and fire, but frail as the sparrow's wing. Women of Legend are not born-- they are grown out of spit and dirt and fire and sweat; they are not a glamorous flock. They have grease underneath their fingernails and wrinkles around their eyes. They have bruises from too-hard pounding upon their breasts. They have lines from laughter and their feet are callused from barefooted adventures and sojourns. Women of Legend are grown out of the spit and dirt and fire and sweat; their significance is secured in their steadfast response to unimaginable pain. -BJG          Art Credit: Bethany Joy Galeotti, Abigail Spencer, JC Cocolli, DG, Jason Flynn, & iloveonetreehill __________________

No problem on the thread. I'm glad you guys like the OP!
 As C said, please feel free to contribute anything and everything! I can't believe DG is finally up and going. It's so exciting. I mean our girl wrote a book. She wrote a book! It's amazing. She's so full of talent, in so many ways, but for me so much of that has always shown through words. The words she uses, the way she can craft them into though provoking statements, heartfelt lyrics, insightful reflections. It's amazing truly it is and I think that is so evident in DG not only in this chapter, but in the fact that she pushed her creative limits, delving into something she had yet to do, but clearly felt/feels so passionate about. I love it. Love it! And I love the chapter. The words alone are amazing, the imagery and feelings she conjures up, put it's not just hat. It's the pace of the story, the characterization, the mystery.....so good! Can not wait for more. So glad our girl decided to do this. So glad. __________________

The second chapter is up on HelloGiggles.
HelloGiggles – Part 2 – “The Masons” It's another good one. I love how detailed Joy was in the first chapter and same with JC in this chapter. It makes it really easy to picture what's happening and sort of put yourself in that moment. |
