UPDATES:

February 17, 2009: To put it briefly: nothing important was saved from my crashed harddrive, and I lost over 700 pages of writing. I am, however, working on the new chapter for If Tonight presently and am almost halfway done. It's my brother's birthday tomorrow and I have play practice pretty much all the time, but I'll be getting it out as quickly as I possibly can. Thanks for your patience, sorry that I require so much of it!

February 8, 2009: This is awful--I'm sorry that If Tonight still hasn't been updated! Midterms are done but crunch time for play is here and my computer actually just broke, so I need to wait and see if it can get fixed and my files (hopefully) salvaged. However, I will make sure I get a chapter out by this weekend. Thank you for your continued patience and support, I'll be getting it up ASAP!

A NOTE ABOUT THIS PROFILE:
Yes, I write, and yes, I love writing, and yes, I write often. I will post some stories on here, mainly experimental ones--whether it's experimenting with a different style, with a different genre, or whatever else. :) In that same vein, all stories that are posted here will be rough drafts--first drafts, second drafts, twentieth drafts, what have you. But not the final draft.

However, I do have a partially members-only writing journal on LiveJournal in which final drafts may appear--but they will, of course, be members-only.

MY STORIES HERE:
WORK(S) IN PROGRESS:
If Tonight
A chaptered story, written because I've never outright attempted to write a cliché and I want to try it. Also because I need something fun to write. Madison is perfectly happy living life as usual with her best friends, Lucas and Eirian, until Matt decides he'll make her fall for him. It couldn't hurt, right? But if Lucas and Eirian have anything to say about it...

ONE SHOTS:
Much Asaid About Words
I wrote this in response to a member challenge from the SKOW Awards Yahoo! Group. Alex is a confident young man who really has no problems doing anything, but talking to Brooke, the one he loves, seems to be a different story. Then again, love is not always easy, is it? (Disclaimer: this is kind of old and there are a number of errors in it.)

Stop Defending Guillotines
I just had a random idea and I went with it. David is in love with his best friend, how typical. What's the problem? She's in love with the French Revolution.

Never Been Kissed (Again)
Another random, albeit cliché, idea that I just went with. Hortensia and Jonas had their first kiss together when they were thirteen, but things have changed since then: Jonas has been playing the field, and Hortensia--well, she's still working on her second kiss.

Rory's Prince
Definitely a little out of the box from what I'd usually write (in the sense of the whole love at first sight kind of thing). Honestly, I'm very uncomfortable with it and even Rory for some very blatant flaws, but I hope someone out there will enjoy the read. One spinner and a bona-fide thorn in her side later, Rory is snoozing her way through high school. Suddenly, a handsome stranger kisses her and she is wide awake.
