Dance Alone

...by Brooke Hogan

First and foremost, I want to say that I have officially finished the rough outline for Stumble, something I am excited about only because I honestly got caught up in writer's block a couple of times and felt like I might not finish it. Currently, it's supposed to be thirty chapters, plus an epilogue.

Chapter 24 of Heroes & Thieves has also been written. A clashing of blades as well as a discussion about the mythical being known only as Prince Charming is what happens in that chapter. Things are coming along quite splendidly.

And Chapter 21 of Brighter Than Anyone has been posted. I can tell you that you'll find out who the secret admirer is next chapter.

Okay, so Chapter 38 of Brighter Than Anyone has been written, polished, whatever you want to say. It's kind of a filler, setting up the next chapter, which is probably the climax of the story. There's also a flashback in this chapter for my readers who haven't read Saving Smiles.

Also, Chapter 23 of Beautiful Disaster has been posted. Slowly but surely, the plot is on its way of starting off. Of course I had to build up the necessary sexual tension between Johnny and Izzy, which I think went pretty siccessfully and now we get to start going to where the story is going to take us. Hm... I hope that makes sense...

Chapter 3 of Closer has been written today. You guys, I can't wait for you to read this story. i'm working really hard on it, and I sincerely hope you like it because I love writing it. The Enigma is such a fascinating character, and I love exploring his evolving relationship with Taylor.

Also, Chapter 25 of Dangerous & Moving has been posted. Though the story itself is dark and definitely uses derogatory language, I just changed the rating from T to M. Yes, it is because of Chapter 25, and if you read the story, you will agree that this particular chapter has been a long time coming. :)

Let's see everybody... I got Chapter 23 of Heroes & Thieves written; it was definitely one of my favorite chapters to write. I love the relationship between Jackaby and Belle. I can feel the sexual tension brimming between them even though I can't physically see them.

Yesterday, I wrote Chapter 37 of Brighter Than Anyone. To be honest, it's getting harder to write this story, but I'm getting through it. This usually happens, doesn't it, with each story. So I'm not too worried. I end up finishing everything.

Chapter 22 of Love's Back Pocket and Chapter 20 of Heroes & Thieves were posted as well, so please let me know what you think.

Ready or Not

Well, you guys, it's official! I have finished Beautiful Disaster! I really liked the epilogue, and I hope that you do too. I don't really like writing typical cutesy confessions of love things, especially when I know my characters wouldn't say such things. But I'm content with the ending, and I hope you are too!

Chapter 24 of Dangerous & Moving. Jason realizes something he should have known all along. And the next chapter? Let's just say that you readers need to have a shower around if you know what I'm saying.

Also, Chapter 36 of Brighter Than Anyone was written today. Christian is... well, Christian is Christian when it comes to Andie.

So... I didn't think I'd start Closer until next week after I wrapped up Beautiful Disaster, but I had such a pressing desire to start it, that the first chapter is written. It's basically all the background information you're going to need to start the story, but... Well, there's a cliff-hanger. I hope you guys like it - when I do post it, of course!

Till next time,
xoxo

Wow. Finally, Fictionpress! It took a couple of days, but I got out all three chapters today (because the past couple of days, they wouldn't let me)! So Chapter 19 of both Brighter Than Anyone and Heroes & Thieves is posted, as well as Chapter 21 of Love's Back Pocket.

Tomorrow, I finish writing Beautiful Disaster! There's really nothing I can say that wouldn't spoil the story, but I'm really excited the story's coming to a close. (I know I've said that a lot, but I feel so accomplished when finishing a story!) This means that I can start Closer by either Sunday or Monday. I'm looking forward to it incredibly because I have the outline finished, and I have a specific playlist focused on this story. Plus, I have a copy of The Dark Knight on BluRay, so I'm set when it comes to inspiration.

Anyways, Chapter 35 of Brighter Than Anyone and Chapter 38 of Beautiful Disaster has been written, and today, I finished Chapter 21 of Heroes & Thieves. Not much I can about the latter story, except Chapter 21's title is Tell Me. Read into it what you will. ;)

Dangerous

...by Cascada

Let's see. What have I been up to lately? Well, Chapter 21 of Beautiful Disaster has been posted, giving answers and relief to Chapter 20's cliffhanger. Where are Johnny and Izzy? You'll just have to read to find out!

Speaking of Beautiful Disaster, I just wrote Chapter 37 of the story. I can't exactly say what it's about because I don't want to spoil it, but Izzy has a cutlass in her hand and a promise she doesn't intend to keep. I plan to finish writing the story Friday - something else I'm really looking forward to.

Also, Chapter 34 of Brighter Than Anyone was written today. Things seem to get better, but you know me. Nothing as what it seems. ;) Can't say more than that, except Marissa's wedding takes place during this chapter. Or does it? (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

I finished the Heroes & Thieves outline - a story that I'm looking forward to write because the words just flow so naturally! I've also started the Closer outline (Fatal Attraction's sequel). I'm really excited to write this story too!

Chapter 20 of Beautiful Disaster is posted. Horrible cliff-hanger at the end, even I have to admit. But it was necessary, I say.

And I'm finished with Love's Back Pocket! Hahahaha! I'm so happy, you have no idea! And I'm quite proud of the last chapter and the epilogue if I do say so myself.

Don't Go (Girls and Boys)

...by Fefe Dobson

Well, kiddies, got some huge news for you! But we have some news before then so you'll just have to wait until the end. Ha!

Anyways, Dangerous & Moving has been updated with Chapter 22.

Tomorrow, I plan on finishing Love's Back Pocket! Writing it, at least. I only have to write Chapter 35 and the Epilogue. I'm really excited to finish this because once I finish this story, I can continue Heroes & Thieves.

I wrote Chapter 31 of Brighter Than Anyone today. It's Marissa's bachelorette party, and the girls go to Disneyland. I wrote it in a really different way, though. I don't want to explain it only because I don't want to give too much away (plus, it's somewhat hard to explain).

I also wrote Chapter 35 of Beautiful Disaster as well. It's kind of unnerving though; I'm starting to lose the passion I had for it when I first started. However, I plan to finish it just like I am with my other stories, even though it's a tad harder than I originally anticipated. Only five more chapters to write plus an epilogue.

I am nearly done with my outline for Heroes & Thieves, and it's excruciatingly detailed, which I am very excited about! (Which is probably I'm not as excited about Beautiful Disaster.)

Now... for the news.... I plan to withhold Blackout only because a more pressing matter has slipped into my water and inspired me. I'm planning a sequel to Fatal Attraction! It's untitled and in the early stages, but the muses have spoken. Once I'm finished with the Heroes & Thieves outline, I plan to start on the Fatal Attraction sequel outline. I'm really excited because I have so many ideas I want to exploree with Taylor and The Enigma.

Let This Go

...by Paramore

Sorry for the lack of updates, you guys. Totally my fault. But let's see where I'm at with my stories, shall we?

Chapter 19 of Beautiful Disaster was just posted, and I have finished up to Chapter 32 of the story. (Keep in mind the story has 40 chapters, plus an epilogue.)

Brighter Than Anyone has 16 chapters for reading, and I recently finished writing Chapter 29 of the story. I was quite inspired to write that particular chapter, though I'm sure people may not be as happy to read it. Oh well. I always know a chapter is superb (in my humble opinion) if you can't stop writing it, and I couldn't stop writing Chapter 29.

Love's Back Pocket is nearly finished when it comes to the writing process. I have two chapters to write, plus an epilogue. I must say, I'm glad this story is coming to a close. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad I stuck it out and finished it, but it was harder to write than I originally expected. When it concerns the actual story, Chapter 18 was recently posted.

Danerous & Moving is, as you know, finished when it deals with the actual writing part, and Chapter 21 of the story was posted yesterday. It's not as popular as my other stories, but I'm quite proud of it.

Heroes & Thieves is not under hiatus anymore. Thanks to pirates and John Dillenger and, of course, Public Enemies, I have found new excitement and inspiration for the story, and have started an outline so I know where I'm going. *Thanks to everyone who's stuck with it for so long! Chapter 17 was recently posted with the promise that more chapters were coming soon.

I also plan to post The Dead Man's Tale, which is the first original story I ever finished, and something I'm remarkably proud of. Chapters are longer, and the storyline is (I find) quite interesting. It's, of course, about pirates, treasure, and romance. Throw Shakespeare into the mix, and there you have it, without giving too much away.

Three new story ideas (coming soon!) are as follows:

Blackout - Two CIA agents who happen to be partners always seem to be at odds with each other. Jeffery Beech is a devestatingly handsome, arrogant agent with swagger while Mina Wilshire is intelligent, laidback, and the only one of Beech's female partners who has resisted his charms... until one night, when neither can deny temptation any longer. They pretend as though nothing has happened, and manage to work together without problems - save for the sudden realization of feelings. Then Mina is kidnapped, just moments after learning something about herself, by none other than The Director, a man notorious for kidnapping young women and having them lip synch to a CD of their choosing, releasing one song every hour. If the police can't reach her by the time the CD is finished, she is killed. Mina's CD of choice is Britney Spears' Blackout. Now it's up to Beech to decipher the clues Mina is trying to give him of where she is through Britney Spears song. (*Note - I've been toying with this idea for a long time, and though I have an outline planned, I feel it's missing something so it may not be out quite as soon as the other stories.)

Stumble - Gemma Harrison is merely trying to go through college as normally as she possibly can, given the fact that she is the daughter of the head of the CIA. When Brent learns of credible threats against his daughter's welfare, he enlists one of his best agents originally from MI6, Daniel Bond, to help out concerning Gemma's safety. To Brent, the best bet for Gemma to remain normal and to down play any suspicion in hopes to keep her as safe as possible, he suggests Daniel and Gemma pretend to get married. This way, she'll have a protector with her at all times. The problem is, Daniel and Gemma don't exactly hit it off, and marriage seems to be the least of their problems... (*Note - I originally planned to write this story along with the ones I'm currently writing now, but my inspiration ran dry. However, it's sparked a bit, at least concerning this story, and I'm currently working on an outline for it.)

Lose Myself in You - In another world where werewolves live among humans, a select group of people make it their mission to take down these beasts. Blair Barker is a member of the Nocturnal Defense Society, wanting nothing more than to take down as many werewolves as she can. On a secret mission, she meats Logan Black, Alpha-male and in charge of a large group of werewolves. Before he lets her leave, however, he nips her neck. Blair returns to normal, as normal as she can possibly get. Except now she starts feeling different, having intimate dreams that featured Logan, and Logan himself can't get Blair out of his head. Unbeknownst to either of them, in marking her, Logan has claimed her, and Blair, though she hates it, realizes she won't be satisfied with anyone else but Logan. (*Note - I have a complete albeit rough outline of this story.)

When each current story is finished (I mean finished in terms of posting on Fictionpress), I'll add a new one into the rotation.

Besides that, I think that's pretty much it. =) Glad to be back!
