I'm not a writer of TeleNovelas, so I bet I might not think through every aspect needed to make one awesome either. Doesn't mean I haven't written 32 pages of "La Vida Delirante" where 5 women make a pact to leave the circus to marry rich men so they can live comfortable lives, except they picked the guys randomly and no one can commit to anything and are always switching men. But they are pursued across fabulous vacation destinations by La Reina Apestosa, a Romani sorceress attempting to lure the 5 women back so she can sell their souls to the devil in exchange for the love of the lion tamer at the circus.
