If you aren't reading sunflowersongs, why aren't you?
The past week or so, I've been lost in the fiction world every night. Someone recommended sunflowersongs to me, and I am so glad. I'm reading my third story of hers in the past week. This one is about a super-smooth talking Cowboyward, and a heartbroken emo-ish Bella in Under Heaven's Skies. He makes me swoony. Gah! http://m.fanfiction.net/s/7045783/1/

A couple of story rec's for you all to enjoy.
Happy Sunday everyone! So far my day has consisted of cooking a huge breakfast for Layton and Ben, cleaning up afterwards, unloading and reloading the dishwasher, folding seven loads of laundry from yesterday, and cleaning my bathroom. It's only 1pm. Lol. Yes, I have a few more things to do in case Nicole and her boyfriend, Charlie come over to eat chili tonight, but I'm taking a bit of ME time this afternoon. That means reading, and maybe some writing tonight. I finished The Distance In Between by sunflowersongs (sleepydove90 on Twitter) yesterday afternoon, and began Jar of Hearts by her last night. Wow! TDiB is a Civil War era fic, with plenty of drama and angst, and it's wonderful reading. JoH is based on two slightly geeky, virginal, and unknowingly beautiful people in their mid-twenties, and their journey to find love in the modern world. So sweet. Almost zero drama or angst thus far, and I'm almost halfway through. Sunflowersongs has a melodious way with words that simply draws you into whatever world she's painting for thr reader. To top it off, she's a lovely lady, who I've had the pleasure of getting to know the past few weeks. She has more stories that I'll certainly be checking out in the future.
See you all soon. T

Just a small picture of what a psoriasis flare looks like
Yeah, it's not attractive, at all, but it's what I live with on a daily basis. Both legs and feet are essentially covered in plaques, as is the rest of my body. My back hurts so bad right now that I can hardly sleep. Current flare is almost unbearable. I cannot describe the way my skin burns, aches and itches. Pain meds, Benedryl and Xanax can only do so much of you still have to lead a somewhat normal, functional life. So, I'm giving you this little glimpse into my RL. In living color.
My writing is very important to me, but so is my quest to educate the masses about this horrible disease.
Laters, T

Another angsty fic rec
http://m.fanfiction.net/s/7101420/27/ Take Me Home by LovinRob. It's not fluffy, and deals with sexual addiction and physical abuse (Bella). I'm enjoying the different twist on Edward and Bella's story.

Not Without You- Fic Rec
Yeah, I know. I should be writing instead of reading. Right now I'm in a HORRIBLE PSORIASIS FLARE. I'm bitchy, itchy, achy, having nerve pain in my neck and back and I'm swelling like a balloon after a double dose of steroids Saturday. Trying to stop one of my flares is like trying to lasso the moon after drinking a fifth of whiskey in a 103 degree hot tub. Don't try it, kiddos. Trust me. Idk how you guys feel about managed heath care, but I need it. Badly. Have not had health care coverage since I chose to leave my hospital management job in 2010 to go back to school to work from home in my husband's real estate appraisal business. I do quality for partial disability, but that process takes years and lawyers. So, for now I'm paying for meds and treatment out of pocket. Insuring me is expensive. Like over $1000 a month for just me. Wow! When did this fic rec turn into a pity Teresa session? Sorry. Have to vent. Anyhow, I shared The Path We Chose the other day. Finished it. Loved it. And this is the sequel fic. It's not angsty, or shall I say it's not what I call angsty. It's honest, sad, happy, funny and quite a journey. If you want a nice, lighter read, check BelieveItOrNot and these two stories. You need to read The Path We Chose first or you won't understand the sequel. Fair enough? Here is the link to Not Without You. http://m.fanfiction.net/s/5343595/1/Not-Without-You.
In other news... This weekend is my baby girl, Nicole's 24th birthday. Grilling out on the new patio with our family AND we are meeting the semi-new serious boyfriend, Charlie (how cute it that!) for the first time. They've been dating since May, but she said she wouldn't bring him around until they knew they were a long term thing. I can tell when she speaks of him that he's probably the closest thing so far to "The One". I say too young, but I married at 17 so what do I know? Because we married young, her Dad is a lot overprotective of her, so pray that it all goes smoothly, will you? Ben (our 21 to son) and his girlfriend of over a year, Emily (what is it with my kids dating Twilight-named people?? They fussed at my Mom and Dad dogs being Jake and Leah.
Oh well. I love you guys. Thanks for all the kind words about my lack of writing ability right now. I feel extremely lucky to have such forgiving readers. Sally, you are a beautiful and special friend, and I am so glad we got to meet in Chicago. For the rest of you, add me on Twitter @lakermom37 or Facebook, Teresa Edwards MyObsession Ffn. I'd love to chat. Well, it's midnight, on a work night and I think my nerve and pain meds are finally going to kick in so I can sleep. I'll talk to you all soon.

One last thing.
I suck. There, I said it. I'm having a hard time writing anything I think is remotely good enough to post. I feel like I'm letting everyone down, and that I'm a failure. I WANT to write, and it's not happening like it used to. I'm not abandoning Two Worlds Collide. I'm making you all that promise. I may just go on hiatus, write as I can and get ahead or completely finished before I post again. I've skipped ahead and written what is near the end, and am going to try and work backwards to meet in the middle. Where I have left you all hanging. Please be patient with me. That's all I ask. T
What I'm reading over Labor Day
http://m.fanfiction.net/s/5201472/1/ The Path We Choose. Lovely high school story of love and life. By BelieveItOrNot. Check it out.

Another fic req!
http://m.fanfiction.net/s/9494054/1/Chasing-Sparrows is the sequel to Caged Skylark. CS is heavy, angsty and realistic. It's not a fluffy, happy reqd, but deals with so many RL issues: death, depression, love, fear, failure to communicate, and so many other things which effect couples in the real world. I urge you to put on your big girl panties and read Caged Skylark (I linked you in the previous post) and then Chasing Sparrows. Very talented writer and writing. Check it out.

Caged Skylark
http://m.fanfiction.net/s/8786875/1/ This amazing fic was reqd to me by darcysmom, one of my amazing betas. Well, she recommended the author, and I picked the story. Anyhow, it's good. Rockward is hot and brooding and everything we ladies lust over. I'm only seven chapters in, but I'm really enjoying the plotline. Check it out. A story like this needs many more reviews that it has now. T

Fic rec!!
I've been so entranced by this story. So funny and true to real life. Many have probably already read it, but it's well worth some extra pimping. It's The Real Life of EA Masen. Please check it out and leave her some love. Thanks!! http://m.fanfiction.net/s/8057318/1/

Update on me and well, future updates
Hi again. Remember me? Well, anyhow, it's been awhile since I've blogged so I thought I'd update everyone on things.
First off, I had a blast at TFMU in Chicago a few weeks ago. I met so many cool, like-minded people, met @abstractway and ordered a signed copy of Animate Me (came to my PO Box today), got a foot and cab (scary!!) tour of Navy Pier, where Hugh Heffner used to live, lots of cool downtown landmarks, did some shopping with @twimom817 and @Kare831(so friggin awesome to finally lay eyes on those two dolls), and even drove past Northwestern Medical Center (where my latest Docvampward works and met his Bella in the ER). Flying to O'Hare was a first for me, and thanks to my shuttle van driver being high on something pretty wicked, I got dropped off about a mile from my outgoing terminal. So, I got an end to end tour of O'Hare too. Oh, and an hour and a half flight delay, a faulty plane and thunderstorms all the way back to Ky. BUT it was all an amazing and memorable experience that I'm thankful to have gotten the opportunity to do.
Now, about Two Worlds Collide. I've got about 3/4 of my next update typed. I've deleted and rewritten it at least ten times. Still not satisfied with it, but nonetheless, if all goes well and the creeks don't rise (southern joke, forgive me) I plan on sending the rough draft to my girls this weekend. I don't know their schedules so I don't know when it'll post, but I will say within the week. I'm so sorry again for the long ass delays. It's mostly due to summer activities with hubs (we've been married with kids for 23 years, so we are finally getting to spread our wings and do things without worrying where the kids are), work is kicking my ass thoroughly, and then my perfectionism is making me suddenly second guess every word I write.
So, I'm trying to get back on track. Hopefully I'll get back to weekly or biweekly posting soon. Thanks for all your support and patience. Love y'all. T

TFMU is two days away!!
I'm so excited to get to attend the Chicago TFMU this weekend. Flight is booked and the lovely Ms.Kathy is sharing her digs with me. I can't wait to meet many of my favorite writers, some of my readers, and most of all, FINALLY meet @Kare831 and @twimom817. They went out on a limb to attach their names as beta's to LDTW, when I had no clue what I was doing. They have no idea what their friendship means to me and I cannot wait to give them the biggest hugs. I'm sad that @darcysmom isn't going to be able to make the trip to Chicago, but I know in my heart that one day our paths will cross and epic level tackle hugs and smooches will be given freely and often. I'm also hoping that leaving my home for a few days with like-minded Twi fans will be the boost I need to get my writing back on track. You readers deserve more than bi-monthly updates. So, I'll post again from the Windy City. Yes, I'll take lots of pictures. <3<3<3 Teresa

RL is crazy again...
Hey guys. So, I know you're getting tired of hearing this, but RL has thrown me another full pitch count of curve balls. I'm not sleeping well, again, plus I'm battling my psoriasis, anxiety and depression, again. Add seven new puppies and a full time job (even though I work for myself from home) and I have no time or energy to write. Again. I swore I'd not be one of "those" writers who posts every few months, but alas that's what it's come down to. I wish "sorry" was enough, but it's not. I have my next update 3/4 done... Maybe this weekend I can get in the right mindset to finish it and post. I refuse to quit the story. I'm not wired to quit. So, hope to see ya on FFn soon. Love you all.

I've signed up as a contributing author
Fandom Against Juvenile Diabetes
Well, I've signed up again this year for this great cause, in honor of my Dad who passed away in March 2008 from diabetic complications. Here's what I need from you guys. First, please donate. If not for me and my story, do it for another author you enjoy. Second, any preferences on what you'd like to see me write? An outake from LDTW or TWC? A new, original o/s, like Amore? I'd love your input!!
Saturday, May 11, 2013
So proud of my daughter, Nicole!
Graduated from Murray State University with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree earlier today. I'm elated, proud and worn out!! Lol.
Wednesday, May 8, 2013
Yay! This cause is important to me!!
Fandom Against Juvenile Diabetes: Sign ups, fandoms, and due dates...Oh my!
I lost my Dad in 2008 to complications from years of not taking care of himself after being diagnosed with adult-onset type 2 diabetes. My daughter is hypoglycemic, and she manages it well with her diet. I was told I was pre-diabetic when I was in my mid-thirties and when I weighed nearly 250#. Lap banding, eating better, and 100# weight loss has kept my numbers in check, but with predisposed familial markers, I will always have to keep a close eye on my blood sugar.
I will be writing for this compilation, although I'm not sure what I will write just yet. Maybe the LDTW epilogue that I promised a long time ago. Maybe a o/s that's fresh and new.
Anyhow, keep your eyes open and help me promote this excellent cause for Lia Jane.

Current fic to have my undivided attention
Fanfic: A Rough Start Ch 1, Twilight | FanFiction
Edward becomes a father to a five year old son overnight; a son with recently deceased ex, Jessica that he had no idea existed. Bella is the new kindergarten teacher at Forks Elementary school. Sparks fly when their platonic parent/student/teacher relationship begins and changes into more. (That's my summary, not the author's). I'm about halfway through. Check it out!!

TWC chapter 21 off to be edited!
I feel like I've excersized a few demons, and maybe all my funk is behind me. Chapter 21 is complete and is in the inboxes of my sweet prereaders and betas. I'm hoping to post by Tuesday night. Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement and support these past several months. Things are better. Hopefully for the long haul. :-) Teresa
A little taste...
Been awhile since I've written any lemons. I'll let my girls decide if it's too much. Maybe not. I'm having a hell of a time writing it. :-)

Good luck to twilover sue!!
Reading A Forbidden Love by twilover sue, and I've just gotten a third of the way in to find it's being P2P. Thankfully its uploaded to my kindle. Wishing her lots of good luck in the publishing venue. It's a great read. T
A great read!
Fanfic: When You Least Expect It Ch 27, Twilight | FanFiction
This is a wonderful story that I have the honor of prereading and the author has been my beta, prereader and good friend since I began Letting Down the Walls in 2011. Kare831 has the suburb ability to weave a sweet tale with realistic plot and enduring characters. Of course, she and Twimom817 created one of my favorite Wards, Irishward (What Fills the Eye Fills the Heart) and its written under the pen name of twotwimoms. Another awesome read from two talented writers with many outtakes and spin off stories. Check these two fics out and I promise you won't be disappointed.
