TWWBW Update!

This is not a drill, not a blog, but an actual story update!  The World Will Be Waiting has finally been updated with Chapter 75!  I’m sorry it took me so long to get around to posting this chapter.  It’s ridiculously long and took me the better part of the summer to finish.  It’s actually been done for a while, but August was such a busy month that I barely had time to write, let alone edit and update.  But I kept my daily writing streak alive, hitting the 1300-day milestone on August 13th!  Now that I’ve settled back into my school routine, September will hopefully be more productive on the fanfic front.

Throwback Thursday #17: Top Five Favorite Feel-Good Scenes

It’s Sweet September! For my first retrospective blog of the month, I’m reflecting on a few of my favorite feel-good scenes. These are the light, fluffy scenes that give you a much-needed break from the tragedy and turmoil in my stories. For me, these scenes tend to be a bit more forgettable than my heavy, dramatic scenes, but they always make me smile when I reread and remember them, so I’m taking this opportunity to show them some love. Without further ado, here are my top five sweet scenes!

Throwback Thursday #16: Top Five Favorite Fanfictional Howie Roles

I’m back with the next installment of my twenty-fifth anniversary blogs, and in honor of Howie’s birthday tomorrow, I’m looking back on my five favorite fanfictional Howies! To be honest, Howie has never been one of my favorite Backstreet Boys to write about. I love him, but I also find him kind of… dare I say boring? But, over the years, I’ve learned that when I add some “flavor” to spice things up a bit, he can become an interesting character. Here are my favorite versions of Howie I’ve written.

Throwback Thursday #15: Top Five Favorite Action Scenes

Welcome to Action August! I find action scenes to be some of the most challenging scenes to write because I have to include enough description to allow readers to visualize what’s happening in their heads without overloading them with details that slow down the fast pace. That means I can’t be too wordy, which is a challenge in itself at times for me. So when I do manage to find that perfect balance and construct a well-paced, cinematic, action-packed scene, I feel proud of myself. That’s why, this week, I’m counting down my five favorite action scenes!

Throwback Thursday #14: Top Five Favorite Comedic Fics

With just one week left in July, we’re wrapping up the month with jokes! This week, I’m blogging about my favorite humor stories. Comedy may not the genre I’m best known for writing, but I do enjoy occasionally taking a break from the drama to write something light and funny! With that being said, I do have a rather twisted, morbid sense of humor, so even my comedies tend to be a little dark. Here are my top five favorite comedic fics!
