Currently what's up is my Twilight fanfic "A Blip of Time". That's right. I wrote, or am still writing a Twilight fanfic. If you don't like Twilight please leave now, you're not likely to see anything but news about it for a long time. You can find this on my deviantart (or more specifically "A Blip of Time"). Unfortunately I don't quite understand DA yet, so the formatting is....ehh....really screwy currently. If you could help me with this problem or could give me tips on DA, I'd really appreciate it. =D I'd post the fic up here, but I'd prefer to center where it is exactly. I plan on putting it up on Fanfiction.net as well....as soon as that makes ANY sense to me. So...if you could help me with Fanfiction.net, thank you very much. If you couldn't guess I want to be an author one day. My writing tends to be long-winded, but hopefully it's enjoyable at the same time. Feel free to comment in here as you like. (If you're interested in editing or helping my fanfic, please pm me and I'd gladly see what I have available for you to do.)

Hmm...the writing seems a bit mechanical, not very expressive; especially for a woman's POV. Stereotypical, yes, but despite it being in first person not once could I, as a reader, relate to the narrator.

Have you read Twilight? Or anything by Stephenie Meyer before? (If not, her writing is A LOT like how you described.) Kinda surprised you read that to be honest xD, but thanks anyway.

Hey, if my son wants to compromise his masculinity by writing a Fanfic for a chick-flick of a novel; then I should support him any way I can.
No, I have not read Twilight or anything by Meyer before; never got around to it and might never will for quite some time.

Psh, I read what I like, and what's written well. Not sure what you read. >.>
I thought you hadn't, well if you do you'll see why my writing is like it is for it. (Daddy supports me! Kind...of..?)

I wasn't particularly fond of the series. (I actually read it. I wish I hadn't. XD)
But I think the fanfiction was written pretty well in canon. Bella is very stiff and formal and you captured that beautifully. Although I think you could have gone more into depth with her thoughts, and added a rose tinge of your own personality (after all it is a fanfiction) in the midst of the snow drift.

Never read Twilight, despite my name >.> Vampires are overrated bastards.

More thoughts! (except duck....didn't quite...) Thank you. I think this is my first time writing from a female perspective...the later chapters are already turning out to be good I think, it's odd writing from the other gender...
I'd type more right now....except I am sadly busy with cleaning the house for someone to see if they want to buy it.

I enjoyed it. It really drew me in, too; I want to know what happens next. xP I'll definately read more.
I think you imitated Stephenie Meyer's writing style well, except for the length. Stephenie usually makes everything extremely long and that chapter was rather short.

=D Thank you. Yes, that seems to be a universal response, length. I had about oh....15 pages done and am now re-writing them for several reasons. DA is annoying me so I'm switching to Fanfic, the formatting is much better. Kempff's Fanfiction Profile. I'll post things on DA eventually....but several things have to happen first. Making a wild guess....I could see this fanfic stretching to 100+ pages. I really doubt I'll stop writing for this until it's done, even if people don't like it. xD Thank you everyone for the comments....now I'm back to writing.

The second chapter, Normal, is up for A Blip of Time.
This is the last I'll post on here before my classes swing into full drive and I really jump into my novel. I'm managing the fanfic as a way to supplement my need to write among other things. I'll probably not update here again until my novel is released.
I'm currently very optimistic with my novel's progress, I've got a query in the works but I plan to write out the entire novel before sending in the query and proposal. It might back-fire, but thank god there are a lot of agents/editors/publishers out there. When this all gets done (I'm going to get published, I'll keep at it until it happens.) I'll come on here and tell everyone the book title, please support me by reading it however you like. Buy it if you really enjoy it, or you feel very generous. That also means you'll know who I am unless I use a pseudonym, regardless, when the time comes this account may or may not be deleted to protect my identity. That could mean I may be off of FM forever. And in that aspect I am here again to tell everyone that my absence may be permanent from FM. I'm sorry, but the calling to write has grasped me and for years I've been trying to get it down, now all at once it's coming out and everyday it gets easier and easier.
Once again, see you folks later. This time...sorry, but it's probably it. Have fun.
(Avenger if you kick me out of GOD......-.-....)

Ask around Duck. I removed it for my future safety. xD
Just thought I should check one more time, if you want to get into contact with me after this post ask people in PM please, for my e-mail. Not in chat. NOT IN CHAT.
Thank you.
Progress is going well by the way. I'd say more, but eh.

Your... Future safety. Because all of us here are rabid serial killers out for your life? You speak as if your work is prone to give cause for people to physically assault you.

*pats Trap* Now you're onto to it. ;D It's a serious thing considering who knows you and how to get in contact with you if you're entering a business where your name can potentially become HUGE (will I be published or taken by any agent who can find out things about me on the internet? I'd better hope I didn't write anything they wouldn't like! Don't laugh, this happens in all businesses now). I can't have just anyone chatting with me or sharing logs of chatting with me to anyone, for one thing I'd have my ideas, writing, and comp to protect. So yeah I'm paranoid...but I also like my privacy and ability to talk to friends, people I meet and get to know normally (not someone who would fit the description like you said xD). Consider it like this as well, I'll have a public reputation to keep and manage, big or small. Restricting who I talk to will only make that easier and stop most potential problems. Capisce? As for my subject....well, can't tell you why it'd make me want to hide my e-mail. I'll have to change it eventually I bet, for reasons needed or not. Well...I think I've given in enough coming back here, checking pms enough and messages. PM people to get my e-mail. It's not hard to get it, just please delete that pm afterward. =D (I'll probably be attending some late night chats if yall keep it up....) (I am not trying to act uppity or...all....dramatic like. If you're thinking that. Still same old Nivi/Kempff. Just much more driven.)
