I’d first like to thank everyone who has written me to tell me that they like the Steve series I’m doing. I find it interesting that the qualities that Steve has is attractive to quite a few women. Maybe that’s saying that we all are basically looking for the same thing but are too afraid to really wait for it.
I’ll also answer a few of the common questions asked about Steve that I’ve received by email.
Is Steve real or based on a real person?
No, he’s not. I have never met anyone like him before I started writing. I made him up.
Why don’t you ever describe the way Steve looks?
I don’t know what he looks like. Except the fact that he wears glasses and is taller than I am, I have no clue how I want him to look and I don’t feel any pressure to commit to one description. He’s everything I find beautiful…and that has nothing to do with his physical appearance.
Does writing about Steve satisfy you?
No. I think writing about him makes me want to meet more men. I haven’t been writing about all the men I’ve been meeting and greeting over the past month but lemme tell you, I’ve met quite a few. Each one is more appealing than the last but none of them have lasted for whatever reason. I never get sad about it though because I can tell from jump what I want and no one is hitting the mark yet.
I may go out with someone again soon. There’s always another chance to try again.
Are you doing this as a Law of Attraction excercise?
No. I started this as a joke, but I decided to continue it because it’s really great excercise in fiction writing for me. I am sooo not a fiction writer and this is difficult for me to write because I have absolutely no basis to gain inspiration from. I’ve never met a man like Steve and his family so I don’t know how to make this up.
I’ll admit though, after I began writing about Steve, I have ran into like..6 men named Steve and plenty other men who remind me of Steve in distinct ways. I don’t look at writing this story as “creating my dream relationship”. I look at it as becoming comfortable with the idea of having a relationship. Before I wrote this I could have never imagined that someone could actually deal with me on a long term basis. I’m a hand full.
Will you turn this into a novel?
I have no plans to do that. I toyed with the idea though and came up with a few storylines that added drama and excitement but then I thought….Steve would never do any of those things, he’s too laid back and honest for any of the underhanded attributes that make for a good romantic novel lead character. Steve is always going to be wonderful to me. He’s my fantasy man. We aren’t going to have any drama unless it’s caused by me.
