News: Not much news. I'm in college now and for the summer, I'm working two jobs. I have another one-shot started in a notebook, but I usually just don't have the energy to write. Sorry guy! Hopefully things will get a little better closer to when school starts. crosses fingers


Stories:

Upside Down and Backwards:
Jasmine is an average American girl thrown in a London boarding school - courtesy of her parents. There she meets the mysterious Krysta, the heartthrob roommate Taylor, the evil Carrie, and the hottie Matt. As if her life isn't confusing enough, odd things begin to happen...to her. (multiple POVs)
Progress: Complete. Ending's sucky, but it's done!
NOTE: I took this down. It was annoying me & it sucks. A lot.

Something So Cliche:
Ashley and Jake have hated each other since they were kids. Their English teacher is making them do the totally cliche marriage project together. The whole class around them is beginning to hook up. Will they resist the temptation to follow the crowd? (multiple POVs)
Progress:Discontinued. Sorry! And I'm taking it down.

His Band Shirt:
A girl obsessing over a breakup decides to do something about it. She still has his shirt. She considers suicide while thinking about him on a rainy day.
Progress: A one-shot story. My first one-shot. I like it, even if it is super short.

Not Another Word:
A girl has a crush on one of her close friends. One day, he tells her "I hate you and wish I had never met you! I wish you would just drop off the face of the Earth! And I mean it!" This sets her into a crying fit. Damn, life sucks sometimes.
Progress: Another one-shot story. I like this one too, but not as much as my first one.

Fear of Flying:
Tempest Hayman is a "specialty photographer" that takes care of the harder clients of today's celebrities. Logan Avery is one of those difficult clients. What do they have in common? A quick temper and a slight (ever so slight) fear of love. When they collide, it isn't pretty.
Progress: Done. Edited the ending. It's much better. HOORAY!

In Pajamas: She met her older brother's hot friend Charles. In pajamas. Shoveling ice cream down her throat. And she keeps meeting him in her pajamas, when looking her worst. He doesn't mind though. In fact, he kinda likes it. One-shot.
Progress: Just a one-shot. It's very short & was written at 2 in the morning, but I like it. It's cute...yet stupid at the same time. And it's very amusing. At least to me it is.
Note: Holy Crap! Soo many reviews! I feel quite special, really. Thanks so much you guys!! (I should write little cutesy things that that more often...)

Linoleum Secrets: My very first attempt at poetry on Fictionpress. I'm not good at poetry, really, so don't expect much of it on here. However, I liked the oddness of this one enough to put it up. It doesn't make a lot of sense, really, but it also has a bit of a story in there. It's relatively dark, too.
Progress: A poem. It's finished.

Everyone Loves a Fall Out Boy: A really super short story that includes lines from some Fall Out Boy songs. It's about a girl who is in a relationship with a bad boy. She always is there to pick up his pieces. But as much as she hates it, she'll always be the straitjacket to his psych ward.
Progress: Finished and up.

Zipper Blues: A little piece for a writing contest I was going to enter. About a girl and her tragic night in a car with friends. "I rather like awkward silences. They remind you that someone is human. That while you try hiding under your costumes of perfection, an imperfect someone lives beneath." I adore the first half, and abhor the second half. Yuck.
Progress: Finished and up.

Dear Sir and Darling: A few letters exchanged between a Sir and a Darling (known as Scott and Kayli). Only in letters can they admit that they love each other. Then again, it took until Kayli left for them both to realize. A little humorous.
Progress: Finished and up.

When You're Around: Vivian Carmichael is sent to South Dakota for the summer to help out her Great Uncle Jay, who owns the only general store in the tiny town. There, Viv meets popular blonde very-interested-in-her boy and the resident badass that has to take baskets home to his mother, smokes cigarettes, and has a roundabout way of showing that he likes her. Who knew that South Dakota could be this interesting?
Progress: One-shot. Finished and up. I love this one, actually. XD


Future Story Ideas: (even though I'm bad enough about writing the ones I have now)

No Title Yet: She was a psychology major with her head in the clouds and a childish nature. He was a math major who had his feet firmly planted on the ground. He acted much older and more mature than the other college kids around him. They, by a stroke of odd luck, become roommates. She picks arguments. He helps her pass math class. What exactly is their relationship? Add in a bunch of crazy friends and psychotic professors and you've got a story.
Progress: Chapter One done, but I want to have a few chapters done before I start posting, because it's insanely slow. I love it, though.

The Dead Society: Name: The Dead Society Who?: Intellectuals/Artists Meetings: Two weekends a month (if possible) # of members: Eight so far Purpose: To honor the events, authors, artists, people, morals, and values that are dead to modern society Problem: Secret Admirers & People wanting to join Solution: Open to suggestions
Progress: Finished the intro. Doing well on the first chapter. I know exactly where I'm going with this. It will only be eight chapter, an intro, and possibly an outro(or epilogue). Not quite sure on the epilogue, though. It'll be like a string of short stories.

Opposites Attract...Literally: Meet Darcy. She has a negative charge in a world where everyone has a positive or negative charge. Meet Rhett. He's a "musician" who isn't her type and is a total playboy. Oh, and he's a positive charge. Watch Darcy's world go crazy.
Note: This will just be a one-shot, I think. And the summary sucks right now. I'm sick and trying to still manage to be coherent.

Note: I would really like to know what you guys think about these ideas. Really, I would. If you want an excerpt or a snippet from one of the stories that I have started, tell me & I'll email you it or something along those lines. In return, I want you to tell me what you think. And I would love suggestions for titles! Thanks!


Hope you enjoy my stories and review_
