Welcome to the Wattpad Block Party - Summer Edition III!
Round SIX of this popular event is coming your way the entire month of August 2017 and it's going to be epic! The invites have started to roll out and everyone from your all time favorite Wa...
Friends! Strangers! You've come to this post to see what shinies I have to show you and I really hope you accept my offering because otherwise, I'm going to have to sacrifice one of my characters. Don't test me. I will do it.
I little while ago, I adapted the first few chapters of my Watty Winner Natalie's Diary into a TV pilot script (cross all your fingers and toes that ONE DAY, maybe you'll be binge watching on Netflix). UNTIL THEN, I present the first appearances to major characters Jane, Rhys, Kate, Dean, and--drumroll--Natalie in the flesh. In chronological order of appearance.
Some things in this scripty tidbit are DIFFERENT from the book. There might be some surprises. All good surprises. For a chance to read the ENTIRE SCRIPT, enter my giveaway! I'm offering five people a copy of the whole pilot. There are a couple ways to get in on that, so make sure you look closely at the giveaways page.
Imagine dramatic music starting now.

INT. ANTIQUE STORE - EVENING
An antique store like any other. No one browses the armoires and hutches. The store is empty and eerily quiet.
NATALIE DRISCOLL, an unassuming, remarkably average seventeen-year-old, shelves books onto a shelf. There is one book she lingers on:
WATCH AND WAIT
An unassuming bird watching book.
Something moves in the corner of her eye. Natalie wheels around to find the source.
DEAN GARNETT, as close to a prince as a small town can have, studies her from the other side of an antique WINDOW FRAME on display. His is a warm, affectionate look.
DEAN
But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Natalie is the sun.
NATALIE
Ay me.
DEAN
She speaks.
Dean comes out from behind the window, closing the distance between them.
NATALIE
What are you doing here?
DEAN
Still trying to change your mind.
Natalie falters.
NATALIE
I told you...
Dean pulls her away from the shelf by the hands.
DEAN
Natalie, will you just--come to the party with me. It'll be fine.
