Perfect story for my post-Christmas reading

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/9070588/1/Down-Home
It's so well written. I'm loving!!

And now my Alice

I had a very difficult time finding an Alice that suited me. I mean, Ashley Greene is a knockout, and since this Alice is a younger version of "me" who is most certainly not a model but was a tiny, fresh-faced teenager, I wanted and needed her to be simple and natural. Ok? 

Back to writing. I should have this publishable before Christmas. 

:-) Love y'all! Teresa

Jasper in my new, short fic

Hello (hi Sally, lol) all. I'm halfway done writing my new short fic, Bad Boys, Marlboro Reds, and Bud Light. 

Working on my visuals, and found this adorable picture of Jackson. 

He's the one!!

Update on my writing

Hey everyone. I'm here to grovel and ask for patience. Again. I know and am embarrassed that Two Worlds Collide isn't updating as often as we'd all like. The story is complex, and a tangled web of what might be real, and possible fiction within the fictional story. It's the hardest plot I've ever attempted. I should have made a written outline for each chapter before hand. I didn't with LDTW or Amore, but I had them in my head from start to end the entire time I wrote them. 

Now, I know the ending of TWC, but my mind isn't allowing be to be creative on the journey from where it is now. Does that make sense? Its frustration at its highest form. Ticks me off, and makes me depressed that I'm not able to do what I set out to have complete in about six months.

Anyhow, there is this crazy little one shot that has taken over my brain, and for the next week or so, I'm going to focus on it. My hubby has actually helped with the outline (yes, it's a written one) and some of the events in the story. As of tonight, I'm 4,000 words into the Alice/Jasper story of how my husband of almost 25 years met back in September1987,and the craziness that occurred between when we met and when we actually started dating in February 1988. No one may ever read it, but I'm at a loss as to how to jump start my writing again. 

Hope you all understand. Heck, I don't even know if anyone really reads my blog anyway, but this makes me feel better to at least get this 'out there'. The title of my new fic is Bad Boys, Marlboro Reds, and Bud Light. 

Look forward to posting it soon. T

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, and if you aren't from the US, I hope your weekend was fabulous! I've eaten until I'm miserable, but I am blessed beyond belief. Today I hosted and cooked my FIRST full Thanksgiving meal for my little family, along with my mom, sister and brother. Mother-in-law cooked for hubby's side of family on Thursday. I say first at age 42 because my mother has always cooked this meal, but at 75 she just wasn't able to this year. I gladly took her apron and accepted the challange. Also went to a moving church service where the congregation hung personal wreaths on the walls in memory of loved ones passed. I hung a wreath in memory of my paternal and maternal grandparents, and my children, Nicole and Ben, hung one in memory of my dad who passed in 2008. Touching and beautiful service.

Lastly, I had planned on posting an update to Two Worlds Collide this weekend, as well as begin my new fic for the AJD compilation. Neither came to fruition with two family dinners, beta/prereader also celebrating the holidays, some shopping, deep house cleaning and cooking a turkey, homemade dressing, deviled eggs, yeast rolls, and smoked sausage. Tonight I'm in a tryptophan coma. 

Anyhow, I hope to get back on some sort of schedule of posting every two weeks. My arm is better, but may never be 100% again, so I'm going to have to just continue to work through the pain. 

Off to read a bit before bed. Peace out, and see you soon.
