Author has written 12 stories for Romance, and General. hi, i'm elle and i'm a lot of things. i'm a little bit removed from reality and i'm still a teenager but just barely. i'm loud and obnoxious and funny and i care, a lot. consequently, i am also grumpy and tired a lot of the time and i'm also a big fan of trashy vh1 reality shows (okay, so really just rock of love 2) and hummus on wheat pitas. i like old movies and quotations from song lyrics and boys who can think and speak (preferably one before the other, though) and blue jeans and long bangs and Ernest Hemingway and writing in all lower-case and TIER and people-watching and airports and my car and peanut butter and greek food and indian food and food in general and ballet flats and plaid and painting my nails black. and shocking people. lately i've been more of a consumer than a creator here on fictionpress, but hopefully that is going to change soon (i really, really mean it this time!). but i honestly do have a few things in the works. i should be posting the epilogue for Chasing Mussolini FINALLY, and i have about forty pages of a new piece written, and about five more segments of "Walk Into Mine" to post. also, That Girl You Love (aka TIER, the love of my life) and i have been thinking about doing a crossover story, so keep your eyes peeled for that eventuality, as well. so, in the meantime, pull your socks up and keep reviewing, they inspire my lazy ass. i seriously appreciate everyone's patience, and hope you all haven't given up on me (though i wouldn't blame you if you had). stay cool, kids. stay in school. xoxo- elle | |||||||||
1.
