Who is Rob Ford when the cameras are off and the microphones aren't aimed at his face? What motivates him? Why does he party so hard? Why does he say such horrible things that make him look like an idiot? Does his private life matter if his job commitment is honorable? Can he come back from political ruin? This is a fictional series of shorts about Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto and partyer extraordinaire. Loosely based on the real Rob Ford, this fictional mayor plans to save the city or have fun trying.

This is a story I wrote the majority of daily, as part of NaNoWriMo 2013. The concept for the story is one that I have been considering for a while. Earlier this year, I wrote about 3000 words on the subject as part of our Wattpad HQ Writeathon, and that work can be found under "Wattpad Writeathon 2013: Skyward". However, I wanted to start fresh for NaNoWriMo, so I have created this story to capture my progress through November.

This story is being adapted from a television script I wrote. I'm a big "Sex and the City" fan, but I've always kind of wondered what the show would be like if they didn't have that perfect "best friend crew." I mean...how likely is it that we'll always have three best friends to discuss every problem and thought with? It kind of made me think of a more...awkward reality, leading me to a series where: friends enter different life stages and drift apart, your go-to gal is an elderly lady, and you're actively seeking new pals via meetup.com. And then there's the part where you're a writer haunted by your last big love, and constantly clinging to nostalgia (good luck to our main character on the dating scene!). I welcome you to join me on this awkward, relatable, and sometimes crazy adventure, which proves that finding love is never easy, and include lots of dialogue that will hopefully be quotable and fun! Each "episode" will consist of 4 or 5 Wattpad parts, and if people want to see more I'll write more. I'd love for this to be considered for a television series one day, so please vote and share the series if you enjoy it! DISCLAIMER: this series has a political incorrectness and edge that some may find it offensive, so read accordingly!

**** This is a sample only!! The story is being published on 15th May 2013 so I am not allowed to leave the full version up on Wattpad*** <3<3 Kirsty They say that your school years are supposed to be the best years of your life, and that you should make the most of them because you’ll miss them when you’re all grown up. Up until Maisie Preston’s senior year, she would have totally agreed with that statement. Life was great, she had everything going for her, excellent grades, great parents, an annoying yet caring twin brother, and an impossibly sweet boyfriend. Everything was perfect - that is until the arrival of Zach Anderson. A misfit delinquent that seemed to bring with him a lot of bad karma. Is it just a coincidence that his arrival marks a significant change in Maisie’s life? Up until senior year, life was perfect, but things seem to be going downhill fast. *** This is a companion novel to 'Always You' but the story stands alone, so you do not need to have read 'Always You' first.
