Happy Birthday!

Aww. lol.

Lol. Yeh, couldn't leave that bit of unfinished business.

Yeahhh Daddy is very difficult to like in this story. Very fun character to write though.

Yes, it was. The relationship happened so quick.. so the end was just as quick to make it a bit balanced.

Yes, very much so. Opposites definitely attract (in their situation at least) lol.

Thanks for reading! I had a lot of fun writing this story itself.

Yes. Smelling is a very important sense. It triggers the most memories, you can recall things better if there is a smell involved rather than relying on sight, taste, etc. I still remember that Aaron smelled like gain laundry detergent, coffee, and cinnamon gum the first time we met. With that memory, I can easily recall the time, day, what I was doing, what I was wearing. To be more on topic though, we do somewhat choose our mates based on that sense, it is a qualifying factor, a strong one.

I like where I'm living now. I like being close to family, but also the seclusion of the country. I disliked living in a city, even one as small as the ones in Kentucky, there are no sprawling major cities in the state really. I know I am not made for anything bigger. So, I will stick to where I am with the family that I have around me. If I were to change though, I think I would change countries not states. Mid-western Canada, Ireland, South Africa maybe (just to be close enough to go on safaris whenever I wanted to).

They're both really hot right now.. I'd want to see... Michigan win though. The team I think will win though is Villanova by 10-12ish. I just think they're the best team in the nation and have been all year to be honest.

Lol! I am hiding the others in Google Docs at the moment. I've sadly not done a lot of writing, but hopefully my schedule will wind down a bit. I didn't write the death scene of Alex because I really didn't know how I wanted him to die. Car accident? Cancer? Hate Crime? It would mean a lot of writing I honestly didn't think I could stomach.. lol. I fell in love with Alex myself, so it was just better to have him die "off screen," so to speak. Like I said though, if I had this story to do over again, Alex would still be alive. But it was the idea of a "full circle," idea I had for this Anthology. First Meeting, First Kiss, First I love you, Anniversary, then the anniversary of the death of one character ending the story. I get so invested in the characters in my writing, that if this story was of length/serial I wouldn't be able to kill them off, but the anthology allowed me to do that. If that makes sense.

Thanks for reading! Glad you liked it and it is a bit sad... I couldn't write it at this point in my life. So unlucky these characters weren't written about today.

As long as Duke, North Carolina, UCLA, Syracuse are no longer in the tournament, I'm good. I'd like to see Loyala-Chicago go on, but Villanova or Michigan winning won't upset me either. Not a big fan of Kansas though.

The story is on hold right now unfortunately.. I have been working on it, but it has been slow. I ran into a bit of a motivation + loss of free time wall and I'm just now attempting to try and get back into the swing of things.

Happy Birthday!

I just find it easier to write about places that are similar to where I live as I am seeing the places with my own eyes. It doesn't bother me, but since most of my stories are in a small town/rural setting stories that don't portray that well... I am critical of those moreso than stories I read based in large cities. New York might as well be a foriegn nation to me since it has been ages since I've been there.

I am going to buy this book very soon and read it. People say it is excellent..

Chrome for me is faster, more organized, and keeps a better handle on self-updating than any of the other browsers out there. So I use Chrome. Chrome also has a ton of free tools that are useful and handy to get to.

Oh the ticks.. lmao. Hmm.. hmm. Can't remember. I need to reread this story. Lol.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, y'all.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy (belated) Birthday!

I was coming here to recommend, 'Mary Did You Know,' but Bhopper did that already. Love that song.. first time I heard the version from anything it gave me goosebumps. Pentatonix version is one of the better ones out there as well.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!
