Beta-reader:
I'm a part time accountant, full time wife and mommy. My hubby and I have been blessed with a beautiful daughter and a precious infant son.
I used to write incessantly back in high school and college, even going so far as to have several poems and short stories published... but life got in the way and I fell out of the habit. As with most talents, when you don't use it, you lose it. I always regretted the loss of the words...
Being on maternity leave when my son was born in March of 2009, and then having my hours cut to part time left me with a LOT of time on my insomniac hands, and I started reading all of the wonderful stories here at Twilighted.
Somewhere in a sleep deprived fog I was listening to a Heidi Newfield song and had an overwhelming desire to start writing again... and my first fanfic story idea was born. I've since started a second story, and I'm alternating back and forth on getting them written.
I'm hoping to have the first one finished and start submitting soon, but I have to go back and do a massive rewrite on three chapters because PPD kind of took the story places it wasn't meant to go.
Twilight-wise... I am an E/B girl all the way. I just realized that in everything I have written or am working on, if Nessie isn't part of the story then Jacob is the bad guy. Sorry wolf=packers... no Furry love here.
**I have a curse. I have these awesome stories, I get 20 or so chapters in and then I can't finish. Still trying. I know I promised to alert a few people if I ever got to the point of posting...**
**Well, I'm still trying to get over the speedbumbs in Unrequited, but my other multi-chapter needs massive reworking. The post partum depression that initially derailed me did too much structural damage to that story and I need to basically start over on it. I think I'll wait til after Unrequited is being posted though... It's all just a big mash in my head.**
**I think I made a breakthrough in my multi-chap! WooHoo, go me! So recap... Multi-chap that is about 75% done now, another one that is languishing until I can figure out how to fix all of the damage my PPD caused it, and three one shots that I work on when I get stuck on chapters. Good thing I only sleep three hours a night or I'd never get anything done! GO TEAM INSOMNIACS!**
PS: Just in case anybody wonders... I have a hard time reviewing a story before it's complete. I can love it with a fiery passion and still not be able to reveiw it effectively. If I'm reading a story of yours, be patient with me... you'll hear from me at some point I promise!!!!!!

Summary:
Bella meets Edward when he picks up his nephew from her Pre-K class and the sparks fly. As their feelings for each other grow, Edward has a prior commitment that he is convinced must be seen through. A commitment that is effectively keeping them apart. Are there some complications that even the strongest hearts can't overcome? Can they resist the one thing they can't have--Each other?
To get to the prize, they'll have to survive the temptation of one another, in this emotional waiting game.
Show and Don't Tell.

I can't wait to see how things resolve with the crazy bizznatch.
Summary: Edward Cullen is Big Man on Campus at his high school in Port Angeles. Bella Swan is a quiet, sarcastic, marches-to-the-beat-of-her-own-drummer girl at Forks High. A part-time job brings them together, and an unlikely friendship and surprising feelings develop. Neither is brave enough to do anything about it, however, and they part ways when Edward heads off to college. Their paths cross again after a year of no contact, and Edward is determined to not only rekindle their friendship, but to man up and actually do something about his ever-present feelings for Bella.

I've been dying to hear the prom story since it first got borught up...
Can't wait for the next update!! Author's Response: I tried, I really and truly did, but I just couldn't make the first half of the prom story work for this chapter. It really needs to come from Bella's POV. So next chapter, I promise. :)

OK, back to the story... Ooooo, Alice is mad! I hope she rats him out to the rest of the Cullens and we get a chapter of "everybody hates on Edward and makes him feel like a giant ass" goodness.

I never got that whole "it has to be painful to prove you're a virgin" thing either.
Most little girsl in the last several decades grew up riding bicycles, playing strenuously, and using tampons. Things like that tend to deal with the hymen BEFORE the age where sexs becomes an issue.
I actually found it refreshing for somebody to write a scene like that withouth the whole blubbering pained virgin in it.

Sometimes I can just picture Carlisle as an old fashioned Mad Scientist. I haven't read the story referenced in you AN, but I like the way you're desensitizing Edward to blood. Author's Response: AH, Carlisle as the MAD SCIENTIST! I can see that very clearly! Glad you think that the desensitizing is working...

YES! We need the Jake POV before the final epilogue!
I think it's cool that Jasper wants to undergo the aversion process too. Even though he had pretty good control in your story, it's nice to know he just wants to be sure... Author's Response: Thanks for reading, and those love stars, MrsGunsage!
Another vote for Jacob...he's going to be sharing with Vee...she has a few things she wants to say too!
Jasper is such a cool guy, wanting a bit more of the aversion therapy!

Summary: Three months after Edward leaves Bella is still a zombie. She has not yet developed a friendship with Jacob. But one day she finds a human Edward at her door. How does their relationship handle Edward's newfound humanity?
Another Edward turning human story, but it's different. Things still can never be easy for love. AU.
Rated NC-17 for underage drinking and later on, violence. No detailed lemons.
But fluff galore.
"The doorbell rang once again and I turned the knob to greet the person. I don't know what happened after that. I only remember a pair of beautiful emerald green eyes looking directly at me."
