Wow... it's almost the end. I'll get back to editing FoN after I'm done posting this story... sorry :(

Is it strange that I finding painting my nails theriputic? (I spelled that wrong methinks) Aunt is still living with me. Boy problem still nagging at me (it's both better and worse... meh). An old friend is being stupid (nothing new really) I have't actually written anything story-like since the Necrophiliac one... School work is mostly caught up on though. Got the new Tokio Hotel cd and it is better than their first one. Bill's voice has matured a bit and I like his new hair better than the old, same goes for Tom (who I still think is the better looking of the two, I like my boys to at least look like them... usually) Found a wallet with money in it but no id... nothing at all. So I think I'm gonna buy people Christmas presents with it ^_^ or maybe clothes... my pants are falling off me now. :p

Now that I have rambled on, I give you...

Summary - If a cloak needs mending, magical or otherwise, Nolin is the person to go to. He’s a remarkably talented young man, and when two handsome men walk into his shop with the most amazing cloak he’s ever seen, it’s impossible for him to say no.
But that’s only the beginning. Vynncent is the crown prince in a country where women rule and men rarely have power. His mother is on his side and his sister is full of support, but when a ghost from his mother’s past reappears, he’s going to need all of the help he can get.

Warnings: Blood and gore... but it's the next chapter that's the kicker.

So, I've got two paper's to write, a commercial to write and film (for my government class) and all sorts of other garbage. On top of that boys are stupid... yes they are.

See, I'm always the girl that ends up being that girl-friend that's the guy-friend... and it really sucks when it's that way with the guy you like, and you happen to know who he likes... *scowl* Now she's nice, and has a decent body, but she's a bit of an airhead and he's six kinds of brilliant, but maybe I'm biased? Anywho... my friend found a quote the other day that just describes my life to a T "I'm chasing him, he's chasing her, but who's chasing me?" I think I need to tattoo it to my forehead. Story of my life. And, this year alone I have done so much work just to not be invisible anymore (lost 20lbs and counting) But it's not like he doesn't see me, it's just that he doesn't see me in the way I want to be seen...

Sorry for that. Now, back to writing my anatomy paper (on the sliding theory of muscles... yay. -_-) and maybe I'll have time enough to actually edit...

Ok... Err I'm sorry I've vanished... I don't eve have a clue on what is happening on lj... *guilty look* I've been pretty busy, built a doghouse for this project (from recycled material) boys are stupid, homework is a bitch, and have a social life does not suit me at all. It's the second day of the NaNoWriMo and I've decided to find Without a Net and my editing instead of starting the new story brewing in my head. We'll see. But for now, I'm going to pump out the chapters for FoN and Horribly familiar as fast as I can.

Also, if anyone would lemme know if anyone's written anything lately, it'd be soo much easier to catch up. (and lately for me is the passed month... goodness, i need to stop vanishing)

Book Review

shadowlight

Recently, as in several weeks ago, I got an ARC (advanced reading copy) of the book Shadowlight. The book is a continuation of Lynn Viehl’s Darkyn series, and features many of the original gang as side character‘s for her Takyn series.

From chapter one the story pulls you in with a sense of mystery, history, and science. The story is about a woman named Jessa Bellamy and the world she finds herself in after doing a good deed. From the beginning, you know that she is nothing short of extraordinary and that she had been taken as a child and experimented on. Those experiments gave her a unique talent, but she isn’t the only one. Her talent is special though, and it has captured the attention of two men on different sides of a war of sorts.

Jonah Genaro is heir to an old legacy and has big plans for Jessa. Gavin Matthias’ past is a mystery; he also has plans for her. One of them plans to save her, and the other, plans to use her.

The book was nicely paced and the characters relatable with twists and turns in the plot that leaves you reeling. It has its moments of heartbreak and happiness. With an ending that leaves you aching for more from this series. I highly recommend this book, and the series that came before it.

The book comes out on October 6th in paperback.

First off, I finished the bugger... I dunno whether to be proud of myself or to question my morals, the jury is still out on that account. We'll see.

Ok, so here the bugger is. (I'll be posting chapter(s) of something else later, I hope)

Umm, so yeah, warnings... this needs them. But I don't wanna say too much 'cause it'll give things away... so I'll leave it with a huge NWS and probably (seriously) not most people's cup of tea.

Story Thoughts

Shadow Walker, Violet Eye
Errr... so I've been workin on that story that Dibbler gave me the idea for... and it's definately something else. I had one of my friends read what I had today and she thought it was the most amazing thing ever... that wasn't what I was aiming for, but she is interesting to say the least. She had me hand it over to another friend and she read it and thought it was good too... like she was squealing and hugging the little notebook I had it in... I am most confused... considering the topic.

On another story note... I have decided what I'm going to do for the NaNo I think... (months away, I know, but I like to plot...) it's gonna be a fairytale methinks. I have a basic idea floating around my head right now. Without a Net is being a pain in the butt, but, it's not my fault, I totally blame school... (I have to regularly read three different text books)

Also: I finally finished reading Personal Best and I thought it was pretty good. Though, slash eBooks have a tendency to have very kinky relationships. I wonder why that is? I mean, I can understand breaking out the dildo once in awhile, but the collar and the nipple clamps? (often use.... like once a day) I mean, for fun, sure, but all the time? I dunno. At least I haven't found those Dom/Sub ones yet. I like it well enough, but I believe in too much of a good thing.

... I fail at life... I'm sorry. I went away for the weekend and visited family. It was nice, and I got new flip-flops (thongs for those not living in the state, I believe ^_^) I dunno how long they will last, cause my dog Jing Jing (she's a jack russel) likes to eat them... (she has a shoe fetish something fierce)

Dibbler, I have started writing that one story that you gave me the idea for... I do not know if I will be able to finish writing said story, but at least I will have tried.

I'd totally spaced until today that the NaNoWriMo was coming up... (two months away, but still...) So I need a plot bunny for that... I've kinda got a vague though floating around half formed... but we'll see where it takes me.

Also: I'd forgotten how much fun this story had been to write :p

EDIT: Sorry about my formatting error... forgot the little > thingy on the end of my cut... :(

So I finally finished reading Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade. It was a good story I think, though I was very mad at a few of the characters through various parts of the story. I'd reccomend it though :p It's the second? in the series, the second or the third. I've read the first and liked it well enough, but this one was better. Took me ages to read it though... cause I've been busy, but it is good :p

A Few things before I get to the story...

My internet is stupid... one day it can't dial in, the next day it won't even try to dial in... so I am late for a self imposed dealine... how awful. Anywho, I have nothing planned this weekend (except for an essay and to study) so I hope that I can do some writing... (Corruption and Without are gathering dust... *wince*)

Thing number 2: I am waaaaay behind on my flist... have you ever gone through it? Why do I follow so many communities? Really... (Answer: on the offhand chance they might yield free things or Shiny Information) so... yeah...

I had another thing to say, but I forgot... :(
