Okay, I have updates, and this time it actually includes some fiction!

First, there’s a new layout called Disturbia. It’s for my NaNoWriMo story and it features Carter and Ellie. Also, the Prologue and Chapter One of Absolution have been posted. Thanks so much to Becca for editing it so quickly. Like I mentioned before, it isn’t Hanfic, but since a few people showed some interest, I figured I’d go ahead and post it.

Secondly, I have yet another new hostee. Please welcome Kristy. With Heather moving over and letting her domain expire, she needed a new home, and I’m more than happy to have her!

Also, the domain is being really slow and stupid at the moment. I’m not sure what the problem is, but I’ve put in a ticket and hopefully the issue will be resolved soon. You can find the link to Absolution on the sidebar, and I’ll add it to the fiction section as soon as WordPress decides to cooperate with me. I hope you guys will give Absolution a chance and will let me know what you think.

Thanks to Gaby and Jen for signing the guestbook.

As Howie Day sang, brace yourself! I come bearing a real update. *listens to the collective gasps* I know, it’s about time, right? But I am so happy to finally say that Chapter Four of Solace has been posted. In my last update I said I had about 8 pages finished. It took me a few days, but once I got into it and started writing I managed to write another 12 pages and finish off the chapter pretty quickly. I think I just needed to get back into the right frame of mind for writing Silly, and now that I’m there, hopefully, the next few chapters will come easily. I’m really excited about them, actually. I think I have the next several chapters pretty well figured out, so I shouldn’t find myself stuck like I was with this one.

I also added a new theme - Forever Young. If it doesn’t come up as the default, just click on the link in the sidebar to view it! I also updated the awards section because, surprisingly, I picked up a few awards at The Oscars: Hanson Style. I really wasn’t expecting that, so thank you so much to everyone who voted for me and my stories! I really appreciate it!

Also, thank you to Helen for taking the time to sign the guestbook. Thank you for your forgiveness in my lack of updates, and it makes me happy to find another Twilight lover. I’m extremely excited about the movie, and I’ve been super fangirlish after reading the first 12 chapters of Midnight Sun, despite my disappointment about it currently being on hold.

And, of course, thank you to Becca and Mel for taking the time to beta this chapter for me. I hope, assuming anyone still comes here and is still reading it, that you enjoy the new chapter of Solace. I’d really appreciate some feedback on the chapter. It really helps a lot to hear what people are thinking as far as motivation to write goes. I’m hoping to start Chapter Five later today - after I’ve got some sleep. Enjoy!

Friday again? This week just flew right by. I’d like to know where it went. Anyhow, Chapter Eleven of Orange Sky is posted along with a new layout. I also cleaned up a few of the pages, and added the two short stories I wrote for 25 Days of Christmas to the site, so check those out if you havent already. They’re called Say Hello To My Little Friend and Home.

Chapter Eleven has some funny moments. I know one of them came from a challenge, and I’m not sure how you’re going to feel about the last half of this chapter, so I’m anxious to hear people’s thoughts. I won’t give anything away.

Thank you to kristin, Chelsi, Katie, Erin, Foxtrot and Nat for signing the guestbook. I hope you enjoy the new chapter!
