Checkout my first Fan Fiction, Letting Down the Walls. This story deals with the mental, physical and emotional toll of psoriasis. My new fic, Two Worlds Collide is an AU WIP that I love greatly. KUDOS to darcysmom, kare831 & twimom817 for their stellar pre-reading and beta skills, to credorosa for helping me as admin for the blog and for promoting me as a writer, vbfb19 for her wonderful banners and manips, and to anillicitwriter for adding the Rob/Edward pretty to my blog.

TWC on hold through the holidays
It saddens me to put TWC on hold, but my RL is extremely busy right now with holiday things, placing my new puppies with good homes, and end of the year accounting business and a long list of appraisals that must be done by 12/31/12. My mind needs rest to write what I feel is worthy material for you to read, and I can't do that right now. I anticipate the hiatus to only go through the first of the year, so I'm not looking at months, just a few weeks. I hope everyone understands and waits for me in 2013. Feel free to PM me, FB me or tweet if you wanna talk. I'm usually lurking about somewhere. Thanks! You guys are the greatest.

WONDERFUL BD2 Gift from @kare831
To say I was surprised would be a huge understatement and I now I know I would have met these fine people in person since I was SUPPOSED to fly from Kentucky to LA to attend this event with Kare and the others.This was such a selfless and thoughtful gift.
Exceptions were Kristen, Nikki, Kellan and Jackson, but hey, I'm cool with that!

Chapter 17 of Two Worlds Collide to betas
I'm happy to say that darcysmom, kare831 and twimom817 have the latest update in their possession, and I'll update as soon as the edits are made. RL is busy for all four of us, so I want to thank each reader for their patience as we bounce these chapters across the country and timelines. Oh, and there's this little movie called Breaking Dawn 2 premiering in a few days so I where most of us will be this Thursday. Heck, Kare is there now!! Lol. Hope she's having a blast, and yes I'm still a bit bummed that my RL didn't allow my planned trip to share in the experience in LA. But, it's all good...my little hometown expects me to be first in line so I'd hate to disappoint my local fans. ") ok, Hubs is getting ready to watch the newest Finding Bigfoot (but no, he doesn't believe in vegetarian vampires, go figure) so I'm free to read my latest fan fic, All the Wild Horses. I'm on chapter 4, and so far its pretty good. I just finished High Fidelity and Glass House this weekend. Good completed reads. For a good WIP rec, check out When You Least Expect It by Kare831. I'm honored to preread on this fic and I LOVE it. Thanks and hope you have a great week!!

TWC update finally off to Betaland!
What a weekend...I'm punch drunk today from lack of sleep, but I'm proud to say that as of 2:15am today, the next update has been placed in the highly capable hands of my beta team. It was a doozy to write. I'm on their schedule now, but I anticipate having this chapter posted by mid week. Also, sending prayers to those effected by Hurricane Sandy.

I'm actually writing!!!
Finally, I've written in the next chapter of TWC. Seems like it has been forever, and it feels really good to be back in the saddle. Tomorrow is Columbus Day so I'm off...hope to get this to my girls then and post later this week. ") Thank you, again for your patience and support while I've been under the weather with my skin and joints. You guys are the BEST READERS EVER!!
Sunday, September 30, 2012
So sorry for the lack of posting.
I hate that I've gone another week without feeling up to writing TWC. This flare has knocked me for a loop, and with multiple trips to doc and numerous topical and oral meds I'm not much better. I'm not quitting this story. I will complete it, but am asking for your patience and understanding. When my mindset is back where it needs to be, I'll continue, but not until I know I am up to it. Thanks for your continued support of me and my stories. Love you all. Teresa

TWC update and my review of Cosmopolis
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
I finally got the chance to see Cosmopolis with my friend and Twitter bud, @LSU07. We had a great dinner at the Olive Garden and lots of funny, stimulating convo over our favorite Fan Fics. The movie was interesting and I thought Rob did an outstanding job in the obscure role. The sex and almost nudity were a plus too. ;)

TWC off to the Red Pen Crew/Cosmopolis
Also, Cosmopolis FINALLY is playing at a theater near me!! Me and @LSU07 are going to meet up tomorrow afternoon for lunch and the movie. Gah! Can't wait to see Rob's prostate exam!! Lol!! Talk to ya soon!! <3 T

TWC update off to Betaland and the Taste of the Forbidden contest
Also, in a bit of shocking, but exciting news, Kare and I have collaborated for the first time ever on a fic that has been entered in the Taste of the Forbidden contest. I'm going to add the link again so you can go read and review your favorites. It's anonymous so I can't tell you which one is ours, but we loved writing it and we're pleased with the end result in Kare's words...@kare831: Have you checked out the Taste of the Forbidden contest? http://t.co/CYxkurD @Lakermom37 and I have an entry!

Taste of the Forbidden contest/TWC
Hopefully we'll do well. We will announce our fic the first part of September.
I know TWC is due an update. The weather is going to be mild and pretty this weekend so hubs and I will probably take the boat to the lake and camp again. Two of my beta/pre-readers will be out of town too, so it looks like the update will be a few more days away than I'd planned. Sorry. I'm not abandoning TWC...just on hiatus for a few weeks so I can have some much needed R&R. I'll see you soon!!

Story reviews and constructive criticism
Recently I've had my first experience with negative reviews. Now, with that said, I know I'm not a perfect writer. My chosen profession is as a real estate appraiser and I worked hard for my degree. I haven't had any writing classes since high school and I graduated nearly 25 years ago. If it weren't for my pre-readers and betas I'd be ashamed to post a chapter of anything I write now. LDTW was my first attempt at writing since 1987. Some of you weren't even born yet. I didn't know about betas so I wrote and posted the first 5-6 chapters of LDTW strictly using spell check. Yep. True. I know those chapters are a mess, BUT I chose to leave them be for now so I can look back and gauge my improvement.
Which brings me to my reason for being here today.
I don't agree with the Guest Review option in Fan Fiction. It gives the reader a forum, but the writer doesn't have equal opportunity to comment or defend, as it were, their actions. I think all readers have the right to voice their opinion, but in order to do that, I think they should be required to log in. Fan Fiction dropped the ball on this feature...especially when anonymous review option is turned off on my account.
And now my rant begins...
Readers, you have the option to flounce. No one makes you read a certain story. If I insult you, your Mother or your dog, by name, by all means, call me out on it. I'd do the same thing. However, flaming up about the writer's choice in how they depict the characters in their stories is not up to you or is it in your rights to come apart about it publicly. Reviews are meant or praises and constructive criticism. Constructive criticism should be said in a non-degrading fashion and there needs to be a strong reasoning behind them. Not "I hate when writers make Bella wimpy" or "I can't read a story that has so many stretches on the truth. Have you tried Googling your facts?"
Um, these comments are not likely to make the writer want to fall over their feet to please you. These stories are fictional, not autobiographies or history books. The writer has the right to bend the story as they see fit. Thats the beauty of Fan Fiction. Do you remember the book that began all this craze? It was a story about an insecure teenage girl and a teenage vampire that fall in love...oh, and there was that crazy part with the teenage Native Americans that shape shift into huge wolves designed to kill vampires. Totally happens where I live daily. What? That's fictional? Oh, yeah! That's right! It was written for entertainment!!
I guess the old adage "If you can't say something nice, say nothing" fits. Try and remember that and all the hard work and spare time amateur writers put into their stories. Okay?
Thanks!!

TWC update off to my girls!! And a LDTW surprise!
I'll post as soon as the ladies have time to edit and me make the needed corrections. SOON is all I can promise, and I'd love to see the review counts rise, so if you're reading, please take just a sec to let me know what you think. Please??
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
In unrelated news, I've posted my outtake of chapter 34 of LDTW entitled Jacob's Downfall. I know I marked LDTW complete, but I went ahead and added it as the last chapter so no one that was a fan of the story would miss it. I don't plan on writing anything more in LDTW, but you never know. If a worthy cause catches my eye, I might be convinced to write that epilogue. :D Lastly, I want to thank all my readers that made LDTW surpass my goal of 1000+ reviews. Wow!! I never dreamed it would happen with such a story, and I owe it all to you guys for pimping, favoriting and reviewing like clockwork.
