Today I bring you a new chapter of Revelations! There are some *gasp* revelations in this chapter, so be sure to go check that out!

I also went through and cleaned up some of the pages on the site, moved some of the stories around, etc. I’ll be updating my reading list as soon as I get to make sense of what I’m planning to read and when. I actually have time to read now, so yay! I’ll also be putting up a new layout for the site later today, so come back to check that out as well!

My story for The Spark Inside is today’s story, so that will be up some time today. It’s called Echoes Of My Life, and I’ll have a page for it that I’ll put up after the TSI season is all over. Please go read it and comment on it there!

I plan on starting to work on You Irritate Me as soon as I’m finished with Revelations. I feel the need to approach/tackle one project at a time right now so I don’t get so overwhelmed. But I will write that story and am looking forward to it!

Thanks so much to Brittney, Hayley, and Madeline for leaving me love after the last update! You guys are great!

No update of Damn It just yet. I’m hoping for tomorrow. I’ve been a little busy for the last few days, so that’s my excuse.

In other news, though, I procrastinated writing last night for a bit by going ahead and making the layout for Fine, Fine Line, which will (eventually) be the sequel to Tumbling Down. I’m not sure when I’m going to write it as I have a new project in the works. Becca and I are collaborating on a story, but that’s pretty much all we’re sharing at this point. But anyways, if you want to look at the layout for Fine, Fine Line, see the new character pics, the soundtrack, etc., the link is over to the right.

Also, my story for The Spark Inside was posted a few days ago. Thank you so much to everyone who has commented so far. I’d love to know what the rest of you think. It was a different story than the others I’ve been working on lately, but the responses I’ve gotten so far have all been wonderful, so that was a relief. You can read the story here or here and you can comment/vote/access here as well. ::plugplugplug::

I now have four totally awesome affiliates! If you haven’t checked them out, do so! 

Make sure you go vote at the Soundtrack Awards and at Chaos Into Art! It’s good for you!

Today’s update is the second to last chapter of Tumbling Down. It’s so weird to think that I’m almost done with the story, but it’s to the point where it needs to finish. I wish it could have been a bit longer, but I’m not going to add things that are unnecessary just to add a few chapters. It’s going to end right where and how it needs to, and that’s all I can really do.

Other exciting news for Tumbling Down is that it’s been nominated for 2 awards at the Soundtrack Awards, it’s first nominations! I’m really excited, and thank you so much to whoever did that. Seriously.

Nominations end today at the Chaos Into Art awards and end in two days at the Soundtrack Awards, so get your last minute nominations in. I did!

I finally finished my story for The Spark Inside and shipped it off to Brittney. I already have a site made for it, so I’ll post that link after it’s been officially released by the challenge site. I hope you like it. It’s a bit dark, but I think the plot I eventually settled with goes pretty well with my theme. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what everyone thinks!

Thanks to Becca, Kristy, and Brittney for signing the good old gbook. Don’t forget to sign it or leave me a message on the tagboard if you feel so inclined as to let me know what you think of the update.

Tonight’s update is the next chapter of Damn It! It’s not the most exciting chapter, but I had to get to the point leading up to Esme’s journey to the Hanson’s for Thanksgiving, which will be taking place over the course of the next few chapters. When those will be posted, I don’t know, because in the next week my efforts will be focused on finishing my story for The Spark Inside and working towards the completion of Tumbling Down.

Thank you to Becky, Kristin, Mel, Ivey, Lauren, and Crystal for your comments in the gbook. I love to see what you all think is going to happen in Tumbling Down, and to hear what you think of Damn It. I love both of these stories and they’re both really interesting to write in very different ways.

In some exciting news, Damn It has been nominated for 2 awards at the Chaos Into Art Hanfic awards (thanks to whoever did that!! ). Nominations are still open at those and at the Soundtrack Awards, but close this week, so get your nominations in now if you wish to do so.

Hm… I think that about wraps it up for today. Oh, there’s a new layout… you probably noticed that, though.

Well, I finally have the rest of Tumbling Down all mapped out. I have no idea how I’m going to get it finished by the beginning of July along with my story for The Spark Inside, but I’ve never turned in anything late in my life, so I’m convinced I’ll make it. I’ve posted Chapter Ten of Tumbling Down for the time being. Things are starting to develop quite a bit, and the true nature of the relationship between Taylor and Cameron is starting to become clear (at least to me ), I think, so I hope that you all stick with me through the rest of the plot. Things still aren’t as sassy and punchy as they were at the beginning, but that’s the way it needs to be. Tis all for now.

Hello everyone. Chapter Six of Tumbling Down is up.

I feel the need to kind of explain myself right now, so you all understand why the updates may be happening as they are in the upcoming weeks. I love Damn It dearly and hope that I can find the time to update it in the next week or so. The places it’s going to go may be a surprise, but I can’t wait to share it with you all. But, for reasons very personal to me, I feel a self-inflicted pressure to finish Tumbling Down. This story started out as something somewhat different than where I now see it needs to end, a place very similar to one that I’m currently living. I know that it’s good to put oneself into a story, and that’s why I’m allowing the story to pull me in this direction. It will be good, I promise, but I need everyone to be understanding if it gets a little more attention in the next few weeks than Damn It does. I’m also trying to wrap up my story for The Spark Inside, and once that’s done, the Damn It updates should return, hopefully within the next day or so. I’m sure that this is entirely unnecessary to say, as everyone has always been incredibly supportive thus far, but I guess that I almost needed to write this out to make myself feel better about my current dedication to the Tumbling Down project. Maybe eventually I’ll feel ready to share with you all what’s going on, and maybe not. I guess it really doesn’t matter, because I know that you’ll all back me as you’ve done in the past.

Thank you again for those of you who take the time to leave me comments and to read my stories. It means a lot to me.
