I hope you don't mind!) I think you are headed in a very good direction here with what you have so far. Obviously, you will need to continue toward her getting dressed and seeing if the dress fits or not (which could start a whole new set of issues, if it doesn't fit, OR it could fit well and lead into more issues at the wedding itself, which could also be an interesting direction to go here.) I'm not sure what exactly you are looking for by way of advice, but you seem to have a good idea of who your main character is, as she reacts consistently throughout what you have so far. Her voice is clear and we feel that we know her. (Heck, some of you readers might even feel as if they ARE her.) She might mess up some, but she also seems to be able to clean up those messes. Things to consider: Are you bringing the niece back into the story in some way? How does the backstory on the job situation play into the wedding story? (Are they interconnected? Does she fall for the skanky male coworker's gorgeous but not womanizing brother? Is the skanky male at the wedding and some mishap with that enters in?) How else does Earl enter into the story, since he's been brought up a couple times? Does he NOT make a mess of the wedding, saving the day in another way (beyond Amber's hair and makeup assistance)? Maybe he introduces the main character to the man of her dreams? Or her worst nightmare who won't leave her alone?<BR/><BR/>You have endless options here as to where it can go, but I think most importantly, you need to decide where you want this character to end up by the time you are finished. Will she find the man of her dreams? Or is that too saccharine? How does her mother's overbearing attitude come back into play during or after the wedding? (A phone call during the ceremony? Reception?) <BR/><BR/>Importantly, WHAT did she forget that she sensed upon exiting the cab? Did she not put the dress into the garment bag? What else do we need to know? (We already sympathize with and feel that we know this character, so you've done the hardest part already. Congrats!)<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to read the rest!
