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/
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.

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

For all my faithful readers...
The latest update for Two Worlds Collide has been types, and zapped via cyberspace to darcysmom and Kare831 for extensive sparkly red pen editing.
I'm sure it needs a lot of TLC, since I'm a bit rusty. I feel like I'm in need of a priest and a confessional chamber. (Sorry, I'm Southern Baptist,not Catholic)
It's been since the end of July since the last update. **hangs head in shame** Maybe I've chased the inner demons away... You know, the ones... The ones that had almost convinced me to throw in the towel and quit writing.
Although I've had lots of encouraging words from many of you, it took one, sweet and enthusiastic reviewer this week begging for an update (with multiple PMs) to make me want to sit all day today and write and delete, write and delete (I think you get the picture) until I had a finished product that I actually liked!
Hopefully it will be good reading, and hopefully a few of my readers are still around to enjoy it. Lol.
Anyways, just wanted you all to know I'm still alive. Mwah!!

Can't belive my fic was chosen from this week's prompt!
Hey guys. As you all know, I've been having a lot of trouble getting my head back into writing TWC. It's painful to want to do somethingnh so badly, and every time I try, it's a failed attempt.
So, I thought I'd try for something small and see if I could still write a story. Madi has a great little contest going where we get a visual prompt and write a Flash Fic from it. Flash Fic are 100-300 word stories. I'm so wordy, I wasn't sure if I could write anything meaningful and almost backed out of this week's entry.
I'm so glad I didn't. I WON!!
This was a much needed ego boost for me. I cab still write!! So, I wanted to share with all of you.
Here is the blogspot:
