Norah was still reeling from winning the award for best actress. She worked her ass off to get where she was today. Her less than humble beginnings were what fueled her constant drive.
Grabbing her coffee and laptop, she went out to the terrace. The view was breathtaking, the finest money could afford.
She knew she shouldn’t but she was curious what the critics were saying. And boy, were they critical. According to the press, she was too old, too fat and too untalented to be holding the revered statuette.
“Yup,” She sipped on her steaming coffee, “Living the Hollywood dream.”
I found the observations in the 100 spot on – women are always in the spotlight, always criticized for the slightest failing, and you really only need to look at the tabloid magazines in shops to see the evidence! Glad to see your protagonist is enjoying herself – and the fruits of her labour.

I wish I could have lovely dreams like this Melissa.
Most of my dreams are horrible. If this was my dream the balcony would probably collapse!
Enjoyed
