New Announcement!


Hello everyone!

First and foremost, I'm not a fan of Brett Farve (Sorry fans). However, I am pulling a slight Favre move here. I know I'm not even a few months into my retirement from FF, but there's one plot bunny that has been very angry with me lately for not finishing it. It's the only one that's nagging at me and it's driving me nuts. So I've come to a decision that although I'm still working on my novel (it's going well!) I'm coming back to post one more story and get this plot bunny out so it can stop trying to eat my brain.

I will be writing the entire thing before I start to post and will post very regularly (at least once a day, probably more) until it's complete. Chapters will be mini-fic length, but will probably have slightly more chapters than my other mini fics. I am very excited to be bringing this story to you and I hope that you all enjoy it, it is a fairly feel good story, very low on the angst.

For now, as a teaser. I'm giving you the summary to ponder over : ) I'll see you soon!



They say wild horses should run unbridled or the spirit dies. They weren’t meant to be contained or confined…controlled. Neither was I. Sometimes you have to go back to who you were to find your place in the world. All it took was one summer. And one smile from a boy I used to know.

First Original Novel Info

No it's not being published yet. No it's not even done yet. But I'm working on it! : )

If you didn't already know, I ventured through NaNoWriMo (National Write a Novel Month) this November. There's no way I'm making it to 50,000 before the end of the month (because I'd have to write like 10,000 words a day), but I'm going to finish it at some point.

I started a blog mostly to chronicle my NaNoWriMo experience, but it kind of just became a place of inspiration for me to go to while I was writing. I have my playlist for the story as well as....the full prologue! I hope you'll check it out and put it on alert if you have not already. I'll make sure to keep you guys updated if anything happens with it. *shrugs* We'll see. If I put in a good effort for getting it published and don't get any bites in a reasonable time I might publish it on fictionpress or something so signing up for blog updates is the best way to stay in touch. You can find the blog here!

Drabble #3

Back to posting my unfinished drabble thoughts : ) This one I realllly love and maybe someday I'll be able to get back to it. I think I would tweak it quite a bit (ex. changing it from college to high school, ect.) but the general outline would be the same. Hope you enjoy it!

Drabble #2

I hope you enjoyed my first drabble. This one is much, much longer. In fact it's two whole chapters. Out of my drabbles that I'll be posting, this is probably the most developed and the one I'd be most likely to continue. I wrote this a LONG time ago. Probably over a year ago. I call him HorseWhisperWard and I have the biggest crush on this guy so I hope you enjoy him. Feel free to leave comments if you'd like : )

Wild Horses (Chapters 1 and 2)

p.s. as before, this is unbeta'd and I reserve the right to continue this at a later date if I choose to.
