April?? WTH?

When did April sneak up and kick me in the ass? Not cool, April. Our friendship is over. No more enjoying your showers or looking for Easter eggs for us. We're done. You're supposed to at least let your 'friends' know when you're coming, not just show up and crash the party. Did you lose my cell number or something?

Besides my anger at April, life is... eh. Work, boyfriend, reading, podcast, occasionally writing, trying to find a balance between all that and keeping up with my friends - the list can go, but I'll stop there.

I finished Chapter 16 of 'I've Been Looking For You'. Now I'm just waiting for vjgm to validate it so I can post it over on FFn. Also working on Chapter 12 of 'Resident Geek' and outlining my Twilight Gift Exchange story so I can start working on that in between my other stuff. (Dear lord, why do I agree to more?)

We recorded episode 12 for the podcast this past Saturday, and it should be out soon. I'm really excited about this week's subject cuz we're FINALLY talking about slash! (One of my favorite subjects. Hah!)

The boyfriend's camping, starting tonight. I'm going to have three blissful nights to myself! (You'd understand that excitement if you lived with someone and you value your personal space every once in a while.) I'm hoping those nights will be spent writing and catching up with everything I need to do.

Here's to hoping!

OME, an update??

The fifth episode of the podcast is up! I know we're late this week, but there's a good reason for it.

I finished the second book of Mortal Instruments and now I'm waiting here, semi-patiently, tapping my fingers on the desk, for the third book to be released in two months. TWO, damn it.

And the major news of the day, I posted Chapter 15 of I've Been Looking For You. It's up on Twilighted and FF as of now. (Ugh, the drama! Hah.)

I feel almost like an evil scientist for posting something so angsty and then just leaving it on a cliffhanger. ...and I'm loving the reviews I'm getting. *insert evil laugh here*

Until tomorrow, mwah!

What's this?

I may or may not have finished writing Chapter 15 for IBL4Y last night and my lovely beta may or may not have sent me back the final product.

Hmmm... the world may never know.

Until I post it. Then you'll know.

Hah.

So, here's what going on in my life - it iced over last night and people are freaking out down here because there's rarely ice or snow in the DFW area. So it took me an HOUR and a HALF to get to work, when it usually only takes me 25 minutes. Frakkin' people and their over-obsessive need to drive 10 mph when most of the ice has already melted.

I swear, one mention of ice or sleet down here and people go into 'crisis mode'. It's chaos. Schools close, businesses shut down early, people drive waaaaay too slow. It's tragic.

And I'm a little ashamed to call myself a Texan right now.

Come on people, we're better than this!

That's all I got.

Procrastination, What's Your Function?

I'm procrastinating... again.

There's just something about my first story, I've Been Looking For You, that holds me up every time I want to start writing again.

GRR.

On to other news, we recorded episode five of the podcast yesterday. And then Caitlin, Claire and I proceeded to waste the rest of the day talking to each other about random things. (Danielle had to leave.)

I have to work today (just like any other weekday) and I'll try to work on Chapter 15 tonight, if we're slow at work.

Love.

*EDIT: I forgot to mention that I'm starting a new series called 'The Mortal Instruments' by Cassandra Clare, thanks to several recommendations from various people. AND, drum roll please, I'M GOING TO TWI-CON!

That's right, folks. I secured my place at Twi-Con 2009.

...are you going?

Well, Hello There

I'm trying this fancy 'blogging' thing out. I had a blog for a couple of years in college, but gave it up after a while from... well, from lack of caring about posting.

But this one is going to be different.

This is my fanfic/RL blog, where you'll be able to find out what's going on with me and what I'm focusing on writing. This way it won't seem like I've forgotten y'all from the month to month updates I post.

...and maybe the number of PMs asking me if I've abandoned whichever story you follow will decrease as well.

So, here we go.

Right now, I'm working on the next chapter (#15) of 'I've Been Looking For You'. It's going to be titled 'Funeral', so its content should be pretty much self-explanatory.

Also, I'm randomly adding to the next (and final) chapter of 'Happy Birthday to Me' whenever the mood strikes me. It'll be a rather long chapter because I have a couple of things to address. And no, it's not all going to be smut.

And lastly, I'm writing 'Resident Geek' when I can't add anything useful to the ones above.

Between those three, I'm also working full-time, trying to maintain my relationship with the boyfriend, co-hosting a podcast, and finding the time to beta the stories I've agreed to take on. (Now, hopefully, you see why it might take me a while to post something new.)

That's all for now.

Later!
