Summary:

Edward Cullen is a cocky bastard.  He believes that because of his family's wealth, his devilish good looks, and his ridiculous book smarts that should make him God's gift to women.  Between his repetitive schedule, his 3-piece suits, and an over-confident attitude, Bella Swan seeks the chance with great and wicked delight to put him in his place and enjoys every minute of it.

I browsed the different sections for a while before making my final selections. I always took my time, carefully reading over each selection and deciding if I should waste my time on this type of literature. Their politics section was definitely lacking and I would be sure to bring this up to the clerk.


“Hey there, Becca,” I greeted the pretty clerk as I walked up to the checkout counter. I put the books I intended to purchase on the counter.


Today I would get her to talk to me. I would get her to notice me and pay attention. I mean, why the hell wouldn’t she right? I mean, c'mon, I am a catch!


I had always admired her from afar but she wouldn’t ever budge. What was her deal? I wasn’t going to bite. Although, the idea was appetizing, that wasn’t my sort of thing.


“Bella.”
“Hmm?” What did she say?
“Bel-la,” she repeated herself but slower as she tapped her fingertips against her silver-plated nametag. “My name is Bella.”
“Oh,” Crap, “Sorry. I thought it was—"
“It’s fine.” She sighed, taking the books from the counter and reviewing them before entering a few codes into the computer screen. “So, did you find everything you were looking for?”

She thought she was going to lose her breath.  Suddenly, she felt slightly light-headed; her heart was beating out of control.  Whenever his green eyes into her brown ones, she felt as if he was pouring into her soul.  His eyes were clearly trying to tell her something, she just needed to figure what that was.  She didn't really know and she was okay with that.  He reached up and rubbed the back of his knuckles against her cheek.  Her face was involuntarily moving towards his hand, letting him almost up it, the warmth of his hand heating up the coolness of her cheek.

It was in the moment, they both could not deny that something was changing between them.  They both had never been this close to anyone else before.  It was an unspoken agreement that they were going into uncharted territory with one another.

What's Going On? Ashamed, Humbled and... and Writing!

All right... well here goes nothing... & everything...

When I was younger, I had a teacher who from time to time used to lose control of his class and he would just shout out the phrase "pink elephants!"  This would silence our class and we would all start laughing, wondering what was going on in that head of our crazy teacher.  Little did we know, he just wanted us to shut the hell up.  Of course, for the remainder of the class he would say things like "don't think about those pink elephants!  Don't do it!  You're thinking it and you should really stop while you're ahead!"  Well, what else can you do with statements and questions like that but laugh, right?  Of course.

Uh oh.. the pink elephants are here and they're dancing and looking rather silly, don't you think?  LOL

So, I'm having a 'pink elephant' moment if you'll be so kind as to hear me out, while it may be embarrassing, it needs to be said!

I'm going to just come out and say it... I'm completely ashamed.  When I took an unannounced (not undiscovered) absence from writing my story(ies), I never thought I would be sitting here nearly a year later trying to figure out what to say to you guys.

I. Will. Be. Good.  .. Sort of!  >;-P

I'm really sorry its taken this long, that's all I can say really.  Those who know me well know that I've been going through a lot of stuff in my real life mostly health-related issues and while those are on the up nowadays, I still can't help but feel stupid on how I left my updates.  I left you hanging, I'll be the first to admit that, but I assure you I'm not going anywhere, I'm still here and in fact, I was never gone-- you can check my Twitter & my Facebook.  In fact, those of you who were kind enough to contact me regarding Interviews & Evaluations and my other stories, received a reply.  Thank you for those messages, it was those that encouraged me and warmed my heart.  Some of them actually brought me to tears that there are actually people out there who care about my silly little story and want to know if I'm going to continue it or not.  It's an overwhelming feeling, but one that I don't mind and truly appreciate!

I do have some exciting news though, depending on how you look it of course!  One of the reasons that I'm delayed in posting is that I signed up for two collaborations with fellow Twi-fanfic author Heartfelt-Pen for not one but two charitable fanfic events.  Cool, huh?  I'm very excited and very much looking forward to sharing these new one-shots (that could possibly turn into multi-chapter stories per your request!) and being able to help out for these unfortunate causes.

So, now I would like to formally introduce the events and the stories:

Fandom for Texas Wildfires

For this event, we collaborated together and wrote a story called The Pursuit.

Auctions for Schelmy - Fan Fiction Edition

For this event, we collaborated together and wrote Kindling the Sparks.

Also, after these charitable fan fics are issued, I will be finally posting my one-shots that I had written for the Fandom Gives Back: Autism Speaks, Fandoms Fight The Floods, Fandom for Tsumani and Foxy Fics!  See!!!  I have been busy!  So that's FOUR one-shots (side note:  one is actually a future-take for Interviews & Evaluations!  Have you read it yet?  If not, you will soon!)-- so really, three one-shots & a future-take!  How lucky are you!  Very! :-P


So, again I say thank you for the support, please be patient with me as I get back in the swing of things!  I'm here to stay.. unless someone pisses me off [no, no... I'm kidding!  You're totally stuck with me, guys!].  But, hey, that's a totally different story! :P LOL


Oh and, umm... please don't think about the pink elephants! ;)

Behind-the-Scenes: Interview & Evaluations: Chapter 4: I'm Good, I'm Gone

Hi, everyone!

Sorry for the delay!  Just wanted to let you all know that Interviews & Evaluations: Chapter 4: I'm Good, I'm Gone has been posted.

Here's the teaser that was posted with The Fictionators:

Teaser:

I flew into our closet, flipping on the light switch. Our closet was a dressing room in itself, my dresser inside next to a vanity which was rarely used.

Behind The Scenes: Interviews & Evaluations: Chapter 3: Hit The Wall

Interviews & Evaluations: Chapter 3 has been posted!

Here's the teaser that was posted with The Fictionators:

We continued on with the meeting, I began to sign some preliminary paperwork and they agreed that I could take the rest home to have it looked over by a lawyer.

Teaser: Chapter 4 of 'Interviews & Evaluations'

So, I posted a teaser yesterday with The Fictionators's Teaser Monday for the upcoming Chapter 4 for Interviews & Evaluations which is presently untitled. Here it is:

I flew into our closet, flipping on the light switch. Our closet was a dressing room in itself, my dresser inside next to a vanity which was rarely used.

Teaser: Chapter 3 of Interviews & Evaluations

So, I posted a teaser today with The Fictionators today for the upcoming Chapter 3 for Interviews & Evaluations which is presently titled "Hit The Wall":

We continued on with the meeting, I began to sign some preliminary paperwork and they agreed that I could take the rest home to have it looked over by a lawyer.

What they didn’t need to know is that said lawyer was my boyfriend. That’ll be my little secret.
They also informed me that I would need to get a physical to finalize the contract. Oh, boy. Nothing that excited me more than getting poked and prodded by a doctor I didn’t know with cold hands.

Behind The Scenes: Interviews & Evaluations: Chapter 2: Brick By Brick

Hi, again!  So sorry it's been awhile!

Chapter 2 ("Brick by Brick") has finally been posted and I'm sending off my Chapter 3 teaser to The Fictionators as soon as I'm through posting this!

Teaser: Interviews & Evaluations - Chapter 2 - Brick by Brick

I just wanted to give you a little sneak peak of something that I shared with The Fictionators for their Monday Teaser!

This is for the upcoming Chapter 2 for Interviews & Evaluations which is called “Brick by Brick”:

I immediately began to think of the night at the bar on San Jacinto Boulevard and Keeton Street.  I had played a full set of songs and received a warm response from the crowd.

Behind-the-Scenes: Interviews & Evaluations, Chapter 1 – Going Under

So, the very first chapter of Interviews & Evaluations has been posted!  Eek!! LOL

Here’s a teaser from Interview & Evaluations, Chapter 1 – “Going Under“:

It's Up!!!

"That’s what she said!” LOL


Sorry, couldn’t help that one.. it just came out.  Anywho, just wanted to let you all know that the story has finally been posted.  I was assured that the problem was not me [Umm, no!! Of course not!], that FFnet was actually having their own problems LOL  So, I finally got a chance to upload and it’s there for all to see.


I hope you all like it.  I must say it is liberating to write something that you care about & to just post it out there for all to see.  It’s a really weird feeling.


Also, guess what?  The story already has a banner.  How awesome is that?  Special thanks to the awesome @candykizzes24 for all her hard work in putting this together, she did a great job!

So, check out the story and let me know what you think.


But, please go easy on me as it is my first one LOL

Interviews & Evaluations

So.... um... Where's the story?!

Yeah, well, that’s a good question!

So, I’m a new fan fiction writer and I tried uploading my story last night (*gasps* IKR?!?) & ran into a big snafu, so I wasn’t able to upload after all.  I’m quite peeved, let me tell you, but I'm not going to give up and will give it another try again tonight.

In the meanwhile, I’d like to share the story summary with you, so check it out & feel free to add me on alert over @ FFnet!

See ya there!

Just a little something...

Howdy-do:

So, I’m in the process of doing some writing (at least trying to at the moment).  I honestly can’t wait to post and I’m very, very nervous so just bear with me LOL

Today, I took a little break from the writing world and decided to make a little something for you to show you all where I’m headed with this story.

Hope you like it!  Let me know what you think!


Also, I’m in the process of working on the title which has been temporarily named ”The Evaluation“ to “Interviews & Evaluations“.


If you can think of a better name for the story, by all means, feel free to send it this way & I’ll give you a shout out! :D

Write ya later,

Hello

Hi, there!

For some reason or another, you’ve ended up on my blog.

First, thanks!

Second, good luck!  I’m trying something new here, so please bear with me.


As an avid blogger, I’ve been down this road before a time… or three… but never tried anything like this before.  I’m trying this whole fan fiction world out as a writer and you are more than welcome to come along for the ride.

I’m a big fan of Twilight and religiously addicted to reading Twilight FF, so why the heck not jump around with everyone else and give it a try?!  Duh.

Join me for this crazy adventure and see what I come up with!

Thanks for stopping by! :O)
