Marching on…

It’s March, and that means spring will be here before we know it!  I’m feeling a little burnt out with work lately, but not with writing.  I made it to 150,000 words on The World Will Be Waiting today, so that’s still going well.  I hope those of you who are reading are still enjoying it!  I always appreciate hearing your thoughts. 😊  Chapter 22 is up!

400!

Today, my writing streak reached 400 days!  Onto 500…

With that being said, Chapter 21 of The World Will Be Waiting is up!  I hope you’re enjoying the fluffy stuff, but if you’re missing the other Boys, don’t worry – they’ll be back in a few chapters when Kevin heads to London.  Thanks for reading!

A few of my favorite things

Happy Saturday!  Since my last update, Nick and AJ canceled their appearance at ’90s Con due to the Hong Kong concerts BSB added to their tour, but I’m still gonna go and have a great time seeing friends and other celebrities from my childhood.  I’m most excited about meeting the cast of All That, which was one of my absolute favorite shows as a kid and helped turn me into a BSB fan.  The first time I saw the Boys perform (on TV, not in person) was when they sang “As Long As You Love Me” on All That in early 1998.  Brian became my favorite Backstreet Boy about one minute and forty-nine seconds into the video below, when he stepped forward to sing his solo and flashed that beautiful smile of his.  I didn’t even know his name yet, but I knew I loved him. 😍  The rest is history.

I’m happy for the fans in Hong Kong who get to see the Boys next month!  I’m also happy because I got to see my favorite movie, Titanic, in the theater again last night and woke up this morning with an idea for a Titanic crossover fanfic that combines three of my favorite ’90s fandoms.  For now, it’s just an idea that I put in my folder full of other ideas I have waiting for me when I finish what I’m working on now.

Speaking of my work in progress, Chapter 19 of The World Will Be Waiting is up!  This is a pretty cute chapter, in my opinion.  It also has dinosaurs in it!  Next week’s chapter will be romantic – perfect for Valentine’s Day!  Let me know in the comments if you would like me to post it in time for Valentine’s Day instead of waiting until the weekend. 😘

Good luck to Kevin and Kristin’s Kansas City Chiefs in the Superbowl tomorrow!

Life is good, and karma’s a bitch!

After all the drama in November and December, this has been a great week for the BSB fandom.  It was so very satisfying to see Nick finally take steps to get the stage five clingers out of his life.  Go get ’em, Nick!  I also loved seeing the guys together in South America, performing shows for huge stadiums full of 40,000+ fans.  I especially loved seeing them all topless in the pool! 😍

How blessed are we to have these five boys in our lives?

After weeks of indecision, I also bought passes for ’90s Con in March to see Nick and AJ!  I had been thinking about going but didn’t want to make a decision before I knew what their plans were for the 30th anniversary in April, since I can only take a few days off of work.  But a few of my friends from the fandom are going, and I believe God gave me a sign that I should go, too.  True story:  I had a horrible nightmare about the guys last Saturday night, the kind of nightmare you’d probably expect me to have more often, given the content of the fanfics I write about them.  Thankfully, my stories rarely inspire dreams, and this one had nothing to do with what I’ve been writing.  But it was bad.  Like, the worst.  At least it was a lucid dream, and I managed to wake myself up before I got to the worst part.  But before that, I thought (in my dream), “Well, I guess I won’t be going to ’90s Con now.”  So when I woke up and reassured myself that it was only a dream and the boys were fine, I decided this was God’s way of telling me to take a weekend trip to Hartford because, hey, life is short.  Besides, I’ve never been to Connecticut before.  So I’m super excited about that!  Who else is going?!

Onto the update!  Chapter 18 of The World Will Be Waiting is up!  It has dinosaurs in it!  Enjoy!

I’ve had a good writing day today, which is why this update is coming so late in the day – I couldn’t tear myself away from the chapter I’m writing long enough to post this one.  I hit page 300 of the story this week, and my writing streak is still going strong at 379 days.  I don’t really know what target I’m aiming for now that I’ve made it over a year, but I guess my goal is to keep the daily streak going until I’m done with this novel.  I have quite a ways to go yet, but it would be cool to be able to say I wrote every day from the beginning of the story to the end.  I love this story and am happy writing it for my own enjoyment, but as writing fanfic has become an increasingly lonely hobby in this fandom, I very much appreciate those of you who take the time to let me know you’re reading and tell me what you like about it.  Thank you for your support!
