  1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMI!!!
  2. HAPPY BIRTHDAY STELLAR!
  3. I am the type of person who likes documenting my life sometimes, so here is a blog post. I realized that it has been over a year since I posted a story. But this year, two things happened that I am hopeful will get some new work up. Firstly, I realized that Adderall was completely fucking up my life. I did really well at work (I had the highest productivity back in 2014 and was second highest last year) but outside of work, I was completely miserable. I couldn't sleep well, I could barely eat and any time I wasn't taking Adderall, I was sleeping because I was completely exhausted. Taking my medication was decided by how badly I wanted to be able to eat that day. So I stopped taking it. Shortly after that, in March, I got sick. My cardiologist and NP didn't do crap for me, but it was after that when my therapist recommended a psychiatrist. So I went. My psychiatrist is amazing. He changed my life. (He is super hot too, btw). He gave me 2 medicines and I am now sleeping great and am gaining weight like whoa. People tell me how healthy I look. I can focus at work, my productivity is still highest in my clinic, and my boss told me I was awesome in a recent email. (My boss is a bit of a jerk and hardly ever compliments me). When I stopped taking Adderall, story ideas and the urge to write came trickling back. Now it's like a tidal wave. That is where the new stuff comes in. I have a 12,000 word companion piece to NTS that will be going up soon, as well as a minor revisions and epilogue for Book 3. I am also trying like hell to get a piece completed for the fall anthology. I can't make any promises as to when they will happen, (summers are crazy where I work) but they will happen. And hopefully more will follow. I'm carefully looking at pieces that I have started but not completed and some look promising. It's little steps, baby steps, but I am trying. I love all you guys.
  4. I'm still processing. I can't even believe that something like this could happen. My heart goes out to the victims and their families...this is just so horrible.

    Chapter 1

    This looks like a good start, I hope you continue the story!
  6. Congratulations!!
  7. I was astonished that no one knew that Whitney Houston sang I Will Always Love You. I remember that song being HUGE when I was younger. (The additional fact that everyone thought it was Celine Dion hurts too).
  8. This is an interesting prologue. I do want to say, that as a Southerner who was born in Alabama, raised in Georgia and South Carolina, and is currently living in Virginia herself, that I do consider Virginia part of the South. Just saying.

    Chapter 1

    Thank you Timothy. I loved playing D & D in college, so writing this was definitely nostalgic. Rory and Carter are very cute and writing the rocky start of their relationship was more fun than I anticipated. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
  10. Thank you so much! This was a wonderful surprise when I got home from work. You guys are the best!
  11. Congratulations!!

    Thank you Valkyrie. This prompt was just too much fun not to write! Maybe this time, the cycle might change, never know! I'm hopeful.

    Prompt #461

    I had never noticed the little shop tucked within a strip of other small boutiques, restaurants and bars until Harper pointed it out. "Hey, look, a psychic!" he exclaimed, stopping on the sidewalk. He had his other hand clapped on top of his head as a breeze threatened to steal his cap. I stopped walking and glanced over. Bright neon signs in the window boasted psychic advice, tarot and palm readings. "Oh come on," Ashley said. "You can't possibly be serious." Hannah
  15. Okay, that is adorable. And I'm all about some Star Wars soup. I do hope that the American Family Association and One Million Moms keep complaining, though, it lets me know where to spend my money to piss them off.
  16. Oh, that's a good one
  17. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CIA!!!!!
  18. Lisa, she has oral cancer. So they are having to remove part of her jaw, cheek and the roof of her mouth. She is meeting with the reconstruction doctor next week. She was at my parent's birthday party last weekend and it was very hard for her to eat any food because she is having so much pain. I miss all of you and like hearing what you guys are up to. I'll try to be on here more often the next couple of weeks.
  19. Hey everyone. I notice that are a lot of new names floating around the site, so if you are one of those, hello. In case a few people were wondering what had become of me, I decided to update this blog. I am still alive, but life has become interesting, as it tends to do sometimes. Firstly, I was called for jury duty for the entire month of July. THAT was fun. Secondly, as I am the most senior employee in my company after my boss, I was basically running an understaffed clinic with untrained new employees since about May. While my boss went on TWO vacations. My last remaining guinea pig has been diagnosed with cancer. So has my grandmother on my mom's side. She is undergoing surgery next month that is going to result in half her face being removed followed by a still unknown amount of radiation. Needless to say, I have had very little time to write or even be on the site lately. I miss you guys. I hope to have something new up soon. *hugs*
  20. :D HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :D (You should write a new chapter to commemorate this happy event )
  21. Phase 4 is my favorite
  22. Congratulations!!
