School is almost over (FINALLY)! Just 5 more school days for the students, 6 for me! Then, I will only have the part time job and my one class, so I should be able to start reading a lot more and catch up on the stories of the people I like to read and the reading requests that have been left for me. Just 6 more days, friends! Then I can read!

May 5, 2013
Where did April go???? I think having two jobs makes updating MUCH more difficult than it was. However, I will do my best to start updating regularly again. It just might have to wait until school is out for the summer to happen.

Mar 29, 2013
Ah! Spring Break is almost over! NOOOO! Well, I did update every day of the work week, so if you have time for reading, why not stop on by to check out Flair or Insignia?

Mar 22, 2013
It is Spring Break, Friends! And do you know what would be an awesome thing to do while you lay on a beach somewhere? That's right - read Flair and/or Insignia! Flair is complete - you don't have to worry about waiting for any updates in that story! You could read the entire thing as quickly as you want! And Insignia is coming along quite nicely - I expect to update a lot over Spring Break before returning to my two posts per week standard once April comes around. So, what are you waiting for? Check it out!

Mar 7, 2013
New chapters in Insignia have been posted! Check them out, friends! Leave comments!

Feb 21, 2013
You should spend this snow day reading Flair or Insignia. I'm just saying, that would be a most excellent use of some unexpected down time today!

Feb 15, 2013
Insignia has some new chapters! Read them friends! Comment on them! Do it now!

Feb 4, 2013
A new chapter is up in Insignia! Check it out!

A new chapter of Insignia has been posted!

Jan 25, 2013
And the Prologue of Insignia is up! Please, friends, check it out and let me know what you think!

Jan 17, 2013
Greetings, Friends! Alright, I have decided to throw caution to the wind and start posting the chapters of Insignia (the sequel to Flair) as I finish them. I will post the prologue by February 1, so if you like where Flair was going, please continue reading!

Oct 30, 2012
Ok friends - I am going to upload my NaNoWriMo journey on here. Can't promise that it will stay here once November is over, but I figure this would be a good place to update the story. Halloween's tomorrow and then NaNoWriMo will begin!

Oct 26, 2012
I got an idea for my NaNoWriMo project this year. It should be pretty easy to get 30,000 words with all I've got going on . . . the final 20,000 should be a cinch!

Sep 20, 2012
Oh man . . . NaNoWriMo is approaching fast and I have NO idea what I am going to write about this year. *yikes!*

Aug 31, 2012
Had a surprisingly good day today. I love when that happens!

Aug 28, 2012
Had an AMAZING time last night.

Aug 21, 2012
Another question . . . anyone have any ideas for a good Halloween Costumer? I was Pebbles from the Flintstones last year, and I thought that was pretty awesome (I've got the red hair and everything). Should I just go as her again or does someone have another suggestion?

Aug 17, 2012
I have absolutely no idea what I want to try writing for NaNoWriMo this year. Any ideas?

Aug 16, 2012
St. Louis must have pissed off the weather gods, because the entire drive home from work, there was a mad downpour of rain.

Aug 15, 2012
School starts up tomorrow! Had a good two days of training and I am hoping that this one last day off will be a productive one for writing!

Aug 12, 2012
I've put up the last quote from Flair on my facebook. Now I have to get cracking on Insignia (and there is a LOT of work to do on that story before it is up to the level that Flair is at).

Aug 9, 2012
And today I got caught up with the Age of Chaos. Hmmm . . . guess I can work on finishing up editing Flair this weekend. Then, I'll be off to work on Insignia!

Aug 8, 2012
Collapses from reading exhaustion. On the plus side, I have caught up in The Forever War.

Aug 7, 2012
I've been a reading machine today. I've read (and commented) on like 6 or 7 chapters for Ousma and 3 or 4 chapters for Product09. Go me! I am apparently trying to get done with all of my catching up BEFORE school starts next week. *off to read more*

Aug 5, 2012
I guess I'm back a little quicker than expected . . . I figured out a way to have you guys take a look at the edits I did to the beginning of Flair (and that was to enter it as a new story on here). So, if you would be so kind, please take a look at Flair (Edited Chapters) - Leandra and Kelly and let me know if you think they work better this way. Please and thanks!

Aug 3, 2012
It felt so weird not updating any of my stories on here. You get so used to uploading chapters over the span of two and a half months!

Aug 2, 2012
FLAIR IS FINISHED!!!! (on booksie, at least) I've started work on its sequel, Insignia, but I be holding off on updating that until after NaNoWriMo is done. I'll probably post the prologue, as a teaser, but nothing other than that until December. Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

Jul 31, 2012
Only two chapters to go in Flair! Man, it has been a long two and half months to get here! Thanks so much to everyone that has read and commented on my story. You guys are awesome!

Jul 30, 2012
Thanks for the advice guys! I will leave Flair as it is on here and just edit it on my computer.

Jul 30, 2012
Hmmmm . . . so, I have changed the beginning of Flair a little and I'm wondering if there is a way to upload the edited and added chapter to the site without having to turn off all of the chapters that I already posted . . . because if there isn't, I'm not sure how to post them (because I REALLY don't want to have to repost ALL 84 chapters of Flair and have them appear as new chapters. I think the Fantasy thread would die if I uploaded that many "new" chapters at once.

Jul 23, 2012
I BROKE 150K IN FLAIR!!!!!! New Word Count: 150,268!

I really wish I could breakdance, sometimes.

People really piss me off, sometimes. *growl*

*needs comments on Flair*

Jun 13, 2012
Flair has an insane amount of chapters . . . but I can't help it; Flair has an insane amount of story to tell!

Jun 11, 2012
I'm back, friends! Just uploaded another chapter of Flair. So, go read it! Leave a comment! Like it! Do it! Do it NOW!

Jun 8, 2012
It is another wedding weekend! I'll be back Sunday!

Jun 3, 2012
Andrew Rennolds in the Book of Mormon is phenomenal. I've probably listened to "I Believe" close to 500 times, and it still takes my breath away how amazing a singer he is. Seriously - check it out on YouTube.

May 28, 2012
After dog-sitting for my brother, I am seriously rethinking the whole wanting dogs of my own idea . . .

May 20, 2012
Got back earlier than anticipated. The wedding went off without a hitch, and I've got the next chapter of Flair ready to be read!

May 16, 2012
My roommate from the Academy is getting married this weekend and asked me to be her Maid of Honor, so I will not be updating Flair until Monday. With any luck, I'll come home and see some comments!

May 12, 2012
I ran in a 5k this morning and finished it in less than half an hour! Woo!

May 5, 2012
I ran in a half marathon last month and now I am back to writing.

Jan 13, 2012
The new year is keeping me busy . . . but I have a four-day weekend this weekend, so hopefully I'll be able to get some writing done!

Jan 1, 2012
Woo Hoo! Flair is FINISHED (again!). Now I just need people to read and comment on it!

Dec 30, 2011
Flair is pretty much done . . . only two chapters that need a little bit more, but I have had a very productive winter break! You guys should read and comment!

THE CARDINALS DID IT!!! 11 IN 11 BABY!!!! Now that baseball is over, I guess I'm going to try and get as much of Flair done as I can . . . and then we'll just have to put the rest on hold until NaNoWriMo is over.

Oct 27, 2011
CARDS PULLED OFF THE WIN!!!!! It all comes down to Game 7 on Friday!!!!!

Oct 23, 2011
Take that Texas! Awesome win for the Red Birds last night! I hope they perform just as well tonight! In other news, I *will* get through this next chapter of Flair. Really, I will.

Oct 22, 2011
I'm going to a Halloween Party tonight!

Oct 21, 2011
NaNoWriMo is fast approaching . . . I am probably going to be unable to complete the rewrite of Flair by November 1. No matter . . . that shall not sway me from attempting to win for the fifth time!

Oct 17, 2011
And the Cardinals are in the World Series!!!! WOO HOO!!!!! Texas will certainly be a challenge, but hey, the red birds have been battling their way back all season. I have faith that they will continue fighting admirably. And hey, if nothing else, they have the Rally Squirrel this year.

Oct 15, 2011
Cardinals won last night! Just one more win and they're headed back to the World Series, baby! In regards to my writing, I just uploaded another chapter of Flair, so please take a look and let me know what you think! I've gotten several messages from readers wanting me to continue My Life Phonetically, so I think I will try to write some more chapters of that story . . . although, probably not until after NaNoWriMo in November.

Oct 10, 2011
And My Life Phonetically is finished! At least, it is finished right now . . . I might try to do more with it in a couple of months, but I'm busy trying to get Flair transitioned to a third-person narrative by November 1 to work on it right now. I do still have a couple of weeks' worth of PS . . . SOS, so if you are looking for something to read, give that a look, would you? That's the only piece I have on here that hasn't gotten ANY comments. *sad face* But now I'm back to watching the Cardinal's game . . . they're winning at the moment . . . hopefully they will keep that lead!

Oct 8, 2011
And the Cardinals pulled off the win! WOO HOO! Bring on the Brewers! In other words, I'm really close to the end of My Life Phonetically (at least, the end of what I have written for it). I've still got a couple of weeks of stuff I can post for PS . . . SOS. I need to get some comments on that story . . . that's the only one I have that hasn't received any comments. *sad face* Flair is moving along nicely . . . I really hope I'll finish the revisions before November 1 . . . *fingers crossed*

Oct 5, 2011
Man, I went to the Cardinals game last night, but they lost! Here's hoping they can win tonight and push the series to a decisive game 5. In other news, I've hit a small roadblock in Flair . . . I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to proceed. I am fully confident that this a minor setback, though, and should be resolved either tonight or tomorrow.

Sep 29, 2011
In addition to the fact that developing Flair is going splendidly, I was ecstatic when I saw that the St. Louis Cardinals got the National League Wild Card spot! Woot! Go Redbirds!

Sep 27, 2011
I may actually be able to finish changing Flair into a third-person story by November. That would be freaking awesome, because then I could focus solely on my NaNoWriMo project. Unfortunately for me, I have no idea what that project is going to be, but I shall remain confident that I will be able to rock it. I've only failed once, and considering that was the year of my medical problems, I'm willing to overlook that fact.

Sep 26, 2011
I'm still plotting away on Flair . . . I'm starting to get some feedback, so that is good, because that helps me fix problems that I miss. Would love to get more feedback, but I'll take what I can get!

Sep 25, 2011
Things are still moving along pretty well in Flair, if I do say so, myself. With any luck, they'll continue moving along without a hitch!

Sep 23, 2011
I am REALLY beginning to like the turns that writing in the third person opens up for me in Flair. Hopefully those who read it like the change as well!

Sep 22, 2011
My birthday was awesome. Now it's back to work writing!

Sep 19, 2011
Ok, I am working on changing Flair . . . as soon as this site quits having issues, I'll put up the new chapters. Back to work!

Sep 18, 2011
So, I'm thinking about editing Flair so that it reads in the third person, rather than the first. What do you guys think? Should I put up a trial version on here for you to see for yourself? In other news, I'm reading "A Song of Ice and Fire" and it is AMAZING.

Sep 17, 2011
Latest chapter in Flair is up!

Sep 16, 2011
I actually was able to write a little yesterday. That gives me great hope that my muse DOES in fact plan on returning someday. Hopefully he'll return by November 1 . . . I'll need him for NaNoWriMo this year!
