Happy Turkey Day...

everyone. Wishing you all blessings and a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and right now I'm about to dig into my family's Thanksgiving feast.
Before I eat though I wanted to inform you that there will be a slight delay in the chapter 4 update of "Unexpected Love". I usually post on Thursday's or Friday's, but I will most likely have it up a few days later. I will post it as soon as possible, but I just wanted to let you know that it's coming.

Song I'm Listening To Right Now...

"Would've Been The One" by Solange Knowles. I first heard it on Youtube and couldn't help but download it.
As I listen to more of Solange's music, I find I'm liking her more and more. I was kind of reluctant to hear her music because of who her sister is! I thought she was going be like a mediocre version of her sister. But I was delighted to find she had more of a neo-soul, futuristic sound.
I've even grown to like her fashion style and her free-spiritedness. Even though she will never be as popular as her sister (a good thing I think), she makes quality music that is so much better than the bull that is marketed as music nowadays.
Hope you all enjoy the song:

"Unexpected Love" Chapter 3

Finally finished this chapter today. Phew. It's longer than the others. I hope you all enjoy the continuing story of Marva and Rick. As always look for the next chapter sometime next week.-Makka (Waiting For Love).

Had A Rough Week...

But I am determined to post the third chapter of "Unexpected Love" this week. So stay tuned.
Anyways, I wanted to post this beautiful song by the multitalented artist Janelle Monae. Let me first start by saying that I absolutely LOVE this girl. Her sound is so different and refreshing. It is wonderful to see an R&B singer take risks and go against the mainstream.

I will definitely post more of Janelle's songs, but I want to post this one called "Smile". It's a cover of the Charlie Chaplin song and was said to be Michael Jackson's favorite song. Whenever I have a rough week like the one I just had, I play this song. And because Janelle sings it so beautifully, I can't help but do what the title says: Smile.

"Unexpected Love" Chapter 2

Here is the second chapter of "Unexpected Love". Yay! This chapter was pretty fast and fun to write. It also lets you get to know the characters a bit better. I'm already working on the third chapter so that should be up pretty soon. Read. Enjoy. Comment.-Makka (Waiting For Love).

There's A Boy...

that works in a store that I frequent that has somewhat of a crush on me. I catch him staring at me and sneaking quick glances at me. To be honest I am somewhat flattered and I think he's kind of cute. But I think he's a little younger than me :(.
I know that he will never approach me. One reason is because I am always accompanied with someone when I go into the store. Another reason is he might not want to get caught by his boss trying to pick up a girl at work. One last reason is that I have had a few spats with employees in that particular store, so I know he's heard about my slick mouth, among other things.
But in all honesty, he has made my trips to the store somewhat of a treat. One that easily goes to my head ;). So even though I avoid eye contact with him as much as possible, I welcome his looks of admiration while he stocks items. I hope he keeps them coming, they brighten my day.
So I dedicate this song "One Kiss Don't Make A Summer" by Lucky Soul to the stock boy:

Still Waiting...

For love and other things. But during this time I have been working on the second chapter of "Unexpected Love". The story is still coming together in my mind and now I am just trying to translate those ideas on to paper. I am still developing both characters, Marva and Rick, I want the story to be as well rounded as possible.
All in all though, I do believe I will be able to post the second chapter up this week. I can't wait. The best part of writing for me is finishing a chapter or a story and publishing it. It's such a great feeling.
I know that I want to post this story onto Literotica but I want to a least finish it midway or completely before I do. Literotica is like the grand stage of erotic literature on the internet. I have not seen any similar sites as good as Literotica. All in good time though.

Anyway, I want to share a song with you by the bassist Esperanza Spalding called "I Adore You". It's off of her self titled CD "Esperanza". Let me tell you, I love this song, it is so upbeat and always manages to make me feel better no matter how down I am. Listen for yourself and see how you like.

My First Story: Unexpected Love

Hey everyone. Okay, so this is the first story that I am going to post. It's called "Unexpected Love", a story about a nerdy guy and a popular girl who unexpectedly find love with each other. I have been working on this for a while and am finally satisfied with this first chapter. A note of caution, the characters speak in the first person and I switch back and forth between the two frequently. I just want to give you a heads up so the story won't become confusing. Read, enjoy, and feel free to comment. I will be posting the next chapter up soon, hopefully in a week, but I can't promise that.-Makka (Waiting For Love)

My First Night...

Writing on my new blog. Well let me introduce myself. I'm Makka, a waiting lover and fledgling writer, who after months of reading works on Literotica-mainly in the romance and interracial love sections- has decided to try her hand at writing romance. I will post drafts and completed writings. My writing is a work in progress, so it will most likely get better with time. I love constructive criticism and praise so please feel free to leave some.
Also, I love music. I will post plenty. That said I leave you with the soulful sound of India.Arie:
