"Sam & Delilah"

Author of "Sam & Delilah", Laura Young
Hallo ihr Lieben,

ich habe heute eine kleine Überraschung für euch, und besonders für Laura. Ich möchte euch eine Geschichte vorstellen, eine besondere Geschichte, eine geschriebene Geschichte. Sie heißt "Sam & Delilah". Ich lasse am besten die Autorin selbst "sagen" worum es geht:
" This story, which until further notice will simply be named "Delilah and Sam ." marks the turn of a new era. It is a homosexual romance that I devised over the hours this fine June afternoon and is the first work that I will officially submit. [...] This story, while it may not be a traditional "short story" anymore, follows the relationship of two young women who become roommates after Samantha enrolls in an (unnamed) university and moves to a new city and ends up living shoulder-to-shoulder with the precarious and destructive Delilah. As the story unfolds, it comes clear that both girls have their burden and skeletons in their closets. Still, the longing for understanding and security fuel a classic love-against-the-odds.  "
      Es gibt sogar einen Mini-Trailer dazu, den ich für gut befinde :





Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ihr mal auf ihrer Seite vorbeischaut und ein bisschen davon lest und fühlt. Es ist wahnsinnig gut geschrieben. Der Erzähler wechselt von den Gedanken Delilahs und Sams dauernd hin und her, aber stilistisch so geschrieben, dass man immer weiß wer gerade "denkt". Es macht wirklich Spaß und ich freue mich schon auf den zweiten Teil dieser Kurzgeschichte.
Also schaut mal vorbei und fühlt die Worte:

Das Shooting war ein voller Erfolg. Wir waren den ganzen Tag untwerwegs, an verschiedenen Locations und vielen Outfits und talentierten Mädchen. Ich habe jetzt ein Sonnenbrand-Dreieck und zu wenig Energie die Bilde rjetzt noch auf den Computer zu schmeißen und zu bearbeiten. Deswegen mache ich das morgen.

Hello there,

today I've got a little suprise with me, for you and for my friend Laura. I want to introduce you to a story, a very special story, a written story... Its name is "Sam & Delilah" and I'll leave it to the author to describe the short story:
" This story, which until further notice will simply be named "Delilah and Sam ." marks the turn of a new era. It is a homosexual romance that I devised over the hours this fine June afternoon and is the first work that I will officially submit. [...] This story, while it may not be a traditional "short story" anymore, follows the relationship of two young women who become roommates after Samantha enrolls in an (unnamed) university and moves to a new city and ends up living shoulder-to-shoulder with the precarious and destructive Delilah. As the story unfolds, it comes clear that both girls have their burden and skeletons in their closets. Still, the longing for understanding and security fuel a classic love-against-the-odds.  "
You can see the trailer of the story below the very first picture. I hope some of you will read and feel the story with as much enthusiasm as I did. The narrator switches from Delilah's to Sam's mind constantly, but in a way one always knows who is "thinking". And this is one of the aspects I like best about the short story. I'm really looking forward to the second part...
Check out for the 1st part here:

The shoot today was pure perfection, but I'm way too exhausted to put the pictures up here now, so I'll do that tomorrow.
take care.


xoxo

  1. I really don't know what to say!
    I am absolutely touched and ellated, that you would take the time to promote my work on your blog.
    (I would also like to thank you for the pictures. They turned out really, really nicely. 8D <3)
    Thank you for your support and your inspiration. Without it, I fear that Sam & Delilah would slip down the drain like all the others. This time, we'll be able to follow through until the bitter end.
