Wow, it's so very difficult to sum oneself up for the dissection of others, but I'll do my best.
I started making up stories and songs when I was two. My earliest works were written or recorded by my parents because I was too little to write. Therefore, my writing portfolio spans 27 years of essays, short stories, rhymes, poetry, song lyrics and letters.
When I was approximately 11 years old, I was awarded the Young Author's of America Award. As of fifth grade, I was promoted one grade level in order to attend a writing magnet program at a local middle school. In junior high, I was a journalist for the school newspaper and in ninth grade, I earned the Youth Crime Watch Award for an essay on Gun Awareness that was based on a true, personal account.
Although I was unable to finish college for personal reasons, my English professor was incredibly supportive of my writing and encouraged me to pursue it as a career.
From the first time my parents sat down with a paper and pencil to write down my words for me, they've been convinced that I had a calling. Throughout the years, family, friends, teachers, classmates, professors, employers and the likes have all congratulated, supported, encouraged and rewarded me for my literary works.
And yet, the thought remained with me that I would never be good enough.
You know the addage - "I thought bad things only happen to other people. I never thought it would happen to me."
Well, I have a bad habit of believing that is true of good things in my life. There's always someone else who's a better writer, why in the world would anyone want to read my garbage?
Then some lady had a dream about a sparkly vampire in a meadow...and her dream became a book...a sequel...a trilogy...a saga...a movie...a franchise. For the first time in my life, I thought - maybe that could be me.
I started working on my first novel, the FanFiction titled "Projects, Lessons & Love Songs", on August 27th, 2010. My completed novel went live on October 15th, 2010 - only nine weeks later. By the end of the first weekend, I found myself at 830 readers worldwide. While I wait for the reviews to come in, I am currently working on two non-FanFic novels that I hope I might have the nerve to publish someday.
In the meantime, I'm relishing the fact that I've actually accomplished what I never thought I could do.
If you read my story, please review. I am starved for your feedback so that I may continue to grow as a writer.
Thank you for giving my words life beyond the page. I hope you enjoy.

Summary:  
EPOV. Edward is having trouble balancing his urges for Bella's blood and Bella's body before the wedding. What started out as a simple "Practice Fic" has become a retelling of BD from EPOV that lets us see just how much he struggles for control at every turn.
Warning: Edward's got issues. Some dark images and angst, but nothing too bad and quickly giving way to steamy goodness.

Title: Chapter 21: Epilogue: Possession
Kudos for making me unconsciously finger my mouse.
That's right, while reading your lemons I unintentionally began massaging my mouse and digging my toes deeply into my carpet. The rest of me is so tense right now that I feel like a coiled spring...all thanks to you and your dirty mind.
You suck (but like Edward - in a good way!) lol
Summary: Living on the streets is hard for Bella Swan but not as hard as putting up with Edward Cullen when he drags her into his world of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. She needs a lucky break and he needs an image make-over. Will they be able to help each other out before they kill each other?

Title: Chapter 14: Sexual Healing
Holy Hot Damn! As I read this, I would think of something I wanted to say to you, but then I would read something else and forget about the first thing I wanted to say, and so on and so forth.
You seriously make me laugh out loud and I'm waiting for someone to in white coats to barge into my room and take me away for laughing maniacly.
Oh Oh Oh! I do have one question that I'm hoping you might have the time to respond to. Is "Giney" pronounced like "Jenny", like the first syllable in "Gynecologist", or like the last part of "Vagina"? Inquiring minds want to know.

I'm a virgin, but I am now positive that I must quickly find a fuck-hot medical doctor to give me this lesson in person. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! lol I haven't even finished the chapter yet, I just got finished with Alice's orgasm and needed to share.
Who knew a medical degree could be so arousing?! lmao Author's Response: Bwahahahha! Best review EVER!
Thank you so much,

Title: Chapter 22: Tongue Tied
First of all, RPattz sounded like he was channeling Keanu Reeves a la "Bill & Ted's Bogus Adventure in the beginning of this chapter. Seriously, read up to the point where Bella burns her tongue and imagine it my way. It's freaking hilarious!
And the Hot Pocket Debaucle? Girl, I went through five tissues! I was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down my face and my nose got runny. My cheeks are still hurting from the dumb ass grin!

Title: Chapter 23: Reunion
"Well, it wasn't my cock if that's what you were thinking!"
Okay, you know the part in Twilight when Edward is telling Bella that his family are all vegetarians, but drinking animal blood isn't the same? Then he says something like "For example, it wouldn't be like drinking YOUR blood."
Yeah, well, that is TOTALLY how I hear him saying the cock line. Ha ha ha
There was some other fuck awesome comment I wanted to make about the top of this chapter, but of course, your awesomeness blew my mind and I now I can't remember what it was.

Can't....stand....homosexual-tendencies Emmet!
It's just WRONG, okay?
And if he was going to be hot for some man-candy, couldn't he be hot for Jacob? At least that wouldn't be AS disturbing as his fascination with my Rob!
Won't be able to sleep tonight...just too wrong....

Are Emmet's gay-days over? Please say yes, I can't take it anymore!
And tell Edward to forget about "Into the Wild" girl. I'm standing at the other end of the bar in a short, tight black dress just WAITING for a chance to rock his world! Send him my way and I'll buy him a beer!

Title: Chapter 39: The End of the Beginning Part 2
Good job - Great story! One suggestion for these final two chapters. You need a warning at the top that they may induce asthma attacks. Between the vivid description of Bella's hyperventilating and my own honest emotional reactions to what was going on, I've had to use my emergency inhaler five times in the past 2 hours, and I'm still not breathing right.
I'm just saying.
Thanks for sharing these kooky characters. They rock, and so do you!
Summary: A sequel to my first story "On Air and In Love." Edward and Bella discover interesting ways to talk to each other.
