Can you believe it’s almost Christmas? This will probably be my last update before the holiday, so I was just thinking about that. I hope everyone has all of their holiday shopping done! Speaking from past experience, I don’t think a last minute shopping excursion would be much fun.

So I’ve posted Chapter Eight of Orange Sky. I like this chapter for a few reasons. First, because there’s more Zac and Scout interaction and also because it answers a few questions about Zac. Ones I’m sure you probably wondered about after the last chapter. And because you all are not the only ones telling Scout she’s an idiot for saying Zac isn’t her type.

So I hope you enjoy this chapter as well, and don’t forget to vote at the Fools Banquet Awards. Voting ends on December 31st, so don’t put off voting or you might miss your chance!

And since I’m thinking about it right now and I’ve forgot every other time I’ve updated, I wanted to give Becca an extra special shout out. She was awesome enough to become my beta for Orange Sky, and I know she had her hands full betaing for a few other people too, so I just wanted to thank her again for all of her help!

And last but most certainly not least, thanks so much to Nat, Jessica, Erin, Katie, Amber, Foxtrot, Gina, kristin, and Becca for signing the guestbook!

Happy Friday! Well, it’s happy for me at least. I’m finished with classes for the year, and next semester will be my last. I’m quite excited! And I’m updating on Fridays again! So tonight I’ve posted Chapter Seven of Orange Sky. You might have also noticed that I updated the Etc section for that story. I’ve redone the soundtrack completely, and I really would recommend listening to the songs while you’re reading. I was listening to them a lot while I was writing the story.

I’m hoping to get back into writing Solace again. I need to reread what I already have written, but I haven’t had a chance yet. I’ve spent most of this week finishing my projects for finals and reading Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. I’ve been completely converted into a fan, and I’m quite anxious for the next book as well as the movie. If you haven’t read the books, you should definitely give them a try.

Don’t forget to nominate story at the Fools Banquet Awards. Nominations will close tomorrow night at midnight. And also don’t forget to check back for voting as well! And also over at Just Shy of Reality, we’re hoping to start up a new session of the book club, so please go and recommend some stories to read in the new year!

Thank you to Katie, Jessica, Foxtrot, Becca, Ronnie, Erin, and Mel for signing the guestbook! Chapter Seven is one of my favorites in this story, so I hope you’ll enjoy it as well!
