I don’t think LTA’s “Chapter 28″ is a very strong chapter…. but I posted it regardless.

Send in feedback!

It’s 2:15 a.m. on a Friday night / Saturday morning and I can’t sleep. I just got home from work a little bit ago and showered. I jumped online and finished a chapter of “Long Trip Alone,” which means I updated. I like to stay at least one chapter ahead of myself.

I do want to continue to thank everybody for their feedback and comments. They mean a lot to me, especially with my absense from the fan fiction scene.

I mean, I like the Jonas Brothers, but there’s no way I can write about them. That’s just… weird. Very weird. Crazy. I’m too old to write about them.

I always go back to my standby - the Backstreet Boys.

Now, I’m going to go start writing Chapter 29 and then head to bed. I have an appointment to get my haircut at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow which means I need to wake up a little before noon. Then I have work!

For the first time in my life I feel accomplished and I’m doing something right. I’ve always done stuff and felt as if I was out of place somewhere or didn’t belong, but now, I think I’ve found it. Hell, I know I’ve found it. I love working with one of my best guy friends and I love working at night.

Right now, I love my life. I’m just waiting for something to screw it up.

Now go read Chapter 27 and SEND IN FEEDBACK!

Anyway I’ve done a little bit of writing on my “weekend.” I wrote three chapters in an hour and a half time and tonight I updated “Long Trip Alone” with Chapter 26. It’s a short chapter, but will give you guys more information that you asked about in feedback.

And keep on sending in the feedback… I know more than six people are reading this!

Hey guys!

So after one of my readers, Caitlin, sent me feedback about how she read my stories as a freshman in high school and now she’s a senior in college, it hit me how long I’ve been writing.

In December will be my 10th anniversary of writing fan fiction. 10 years! How crazy is that?

A lot has changed in 10 years… some good, some very good, some bad and some very very bad, but throughout it all, here I am. I’m not the 19-year-old girl on the brink of depression and confused about her life anymore. I’m about to turn 29 and have finally found myself and I believe everything that has happened to me has made me who I am, including writing these stories.

Another reader, Manda, said that the stories helped her forget some stuff going on in her life. I think that’s what it’s supposed to do. At least that’s what it did for me a lot of the time, especially in the beginning.

Now off of this mushy, looking back stuff.

I updated “Long Trip Alone” with Chapter 25 Go read! SEND IN FEEDBACK or comment here… I want to know what you guys think!

Hey guys, wow… the new Jonas Brothers song with Nick and Miley dueting…. interesting, but awesome.

One more chapter, Chapter 24 of “Long Trip Alone” is up! I’m not gonna post any until my days off unless I get some good feedback and thanks to the few who have!

Anyway, this is probably the last update until next week because I work five days in a row and have a concert to shoot Saturday night on my lunch/dinner break from work so I’m going to be a busy girl. Plus, we’re beginning an entire redesign of the newspaper Sunday for Monday’s edition… yep, I’m gonna be busy!

I can’t believe that I’m writing about BSB/Nick again. I mean, I had the little stint last summer when I reopened the site and had surgery, but I stopped. Somehow it feels right to begin again now. I’m glad you guys are welcoming me back into the genre!

I want to thank everybody for all of the feedback I’ve gotten and if you haven’t sent any… you might after you go read Chapter 23 of “Long Trip Alone” that I just posted.

I wrote another Chapter and a half last night after that one, so maybe next week or if I can’t sleep over the weekend, I’ll write some more.

Send in feedback! I want to know what you think of how Chapter 23 ends!

Hey guys! Three updates in three days and I haven’t updated in nine months before that! On my day off today, I did a little work on the Web site here. I went back to the old layout. I tried to make a new one, but eh, I wasn’t feeling creative, so this will do for now. Plus, that’s my favorite photo shoot up there.

Anyway, I put “I Wanna Be Bad” back up. There are some funky codes in some of the places, so I’ll eventually figure it out but for now, it’s back online and that’s what’s important.

Also, I re-did Chapter 22 of “Long Trip Alone” and that’s back up. If you read it before, re-read it. I changed it.

Send in feedback!

That picture to the right cracks me up!

Last night I re-read what I’ve written on “Long Trip Alone” and I believe I’m going to try and finish it. However… I’m deleting the last chapter that I wrote and redoing it. I don’t like where the story is leading.

As for “IWBB,” I promise I will start slowly uploading the story to the site. It won’t be done in a day or even a week, but slowly it will be back up!

So are you guys excited or what?

Also, there’s a new photo of the moment!

To catch you up… I’ve become an award winning journalist, graduated college, won some more awards, and now have a real full time job at a newspaper.  I also have a side job being a concert photographer and designing t-shirts. I’m debating on starting grad school but have to take the GRE first. If I do, it won’t be full time and will be a class or two a semester and that won’t be this fall.

However, I’ve been thinking a lot about writing again lately, fiction wise.  I would love to finish “Long Trip Alone” so I think on my days off this week I’m going to re-read what I’ve already written.

So what do ya’ll think? Want me to finish the story or am I wasting my time?

Yes, again, it’s been a while. I just wanted to stop in and say hi. Things have been overwhelmingly busy lately… it’s not even funny. Writing has been the last thing on my mind, I’m not going to lie.

To answer e-mails that I’ve gotten lately

1. When will you put “I Wanna Be Bad” back online?
Possibly over Christmas break…. I may have some time to do that.

2. Where did all the stories on Backstreet Fiction go?
I would like to know that myself!

3. Did you get to see BSB this tour?
Nope… if they would have came to Florida, maybe, but their Atlanta date was during the week and during the production of my first issue as Editor-in-Chief… that was a little more important.

4. When are you going to write again?
No idea… I have thoughts here and there, but nothing solid. I barely have time to write my journalism stuff, much less fan fiction. I do miss it though, it’s where my love of writing came from.

5. What have you been up to?
Finishing up school… which I prolonged by another year, working, working, preparing for graduation, and becoming a better journalist. I’ve written a journalism guide for online stuff for one of my classes and that’s about all the “book” writing I’ve been doing.  I’ve lost some weight and my love of NASCAR has dampened a little, I think just by being so busy. I also, kind of, am in a relationship, sort of, kind of, possibly… I don’t know what it is or what it could be.

I’ve also been really into the music scene lately.. loving all the new Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Jonas Brothers. LOVING IT.

That’s it for right now. I need to go find a topic for the editorial this week.

Now… what have YOU guys been up to?
