More than Anyone - Chapter Three

I am slowly changing some things around and adding new scenes that were not in the original - such as the one of Harry, Anne and Toby at the beginning of chapter three of More than Anyone, now posted on Fictionpress. Please read it and as per usual, let me know what you think of it if you want. Thank you.

More than Anyone - Chapter Two

Chapter two of More than Anyone is posted on Fictionpress and I just want to say thank you a thousand times for the warm response the first chapter received. I was honestly blown away by the reviews and comments left for me. I hope the second chapter is as well-liked. Also, thank you very much to Caryn for the beautiful picture of Ben Norfolk below. I hate to sound like such a fangirl, and forgive me, but good God, I love Henry Cavill. Okay. That is out of my system now. As always, thank you for reading and reviewing.

More than Anyone - Chapter One

The newly edited chapter one of More than Anyone is now posted on Fictionpress so please check it out for me if you are curious and as always, leave me your thoughts and opinions. I absolutely adore Ben Norfolk and Olivia Grange and I am eager in telling their story again with some new and, hopefully improved, additions.

A Pocketful of Poppies - Part Twenty

A part of me actually didn't want to finish this chapter because that meant that this story was going to end. But all stories must end and this one is no exception. The last chapter of A Pocketful of Poppies is now ready to be read and reviewed on Fictionpress so check it out if you have been following this story and are interested in seeing how it ends. I actually love the way this chapter turned out so read it for me and let me know what you think of it. I loved writing about Justin and Poppy again and I am actually thinking about giving Austin his own story but we shall see. Thank you very much for all the encouragement this story got. It means the world to me.

RANDOM UPDATE: I found these pictures and absolutely loved them so I wanted to post them.

Better Together - Chapter Seven

The seventh and final chapter of Better Together is now posted on Fictionpress so check it out if you are curious. With the close of this story, make room for Ben and Olivia and More than Anyone. I am very excited to be visiting this couple again and I hope everyone is looking forward to reading their slightly edited story with some new chapters added in. Also, I promise I am working on the last chapter of A Pocketful of Poppies and will hopefully have that posted within the next few days. I, as always, will keep you all informed. Thank you!

Better Together - Chapter Six

Chapter six of Better Together is posted on Fictionpress so check it out if you are curious. There is one more chapter remaining and then, I will start on More than Anyone. I am already having so many ideas for the retelling of Ben and Olivia’s story and I am getting so excited for it. I hope everyone is having a spectacular Saturday so far.

A Pocketful of Poppies - Part Nineteen

Sorry for the lack of updates this week. I have been reading a few books that had been sitting on my nightstand for too long. I finally sat down and worked on part nineteen of A Pocketful of Poppies though, which is now posted on Fictionpress. Please read it and let me know what you think. There is just one more chapter to go and I hope to have it finished by this weekend. I hope everyone has had a good week and I am glad everyone has enjoyed the songs I have been posting for this story. There are hundreds of Justin/Poppy songs so also, a thank you to everyone for their suggestions. And before I forget, I know people have been asking. In regards to art, my inspiration for Justin and Poppy is model/actor Trent Ford and model/actress Margarita Levieva. Thank you!

Poppy and Justin Songs #2 & #3

As I mentioned last week, I want to post songs for Poppy and Justin that have inspired me as I write A Pocketful of Poppies. Each of these songs makes me think of the couple as I write the newest updates and below are two more songs that I am currently listening to as I work on part nineteen.

First is Amphetamine by Everclear. In the first chapter, Poppy mentions that her favorite band is Everclear and it is because of this particular song - that reminds me so much of her - that I chose that band as her favorite. (That and it is one of my favorites as well).

The second song posted is Sway by The Perishers. Hopefully, when you listen to this song, you can understand why this particular song was chosen. This is the ultimate Poppy and Justin song in my opinion. Give each song a listen and let me know what you think of these. Thank you very much in advance for your interest and your support.

When Night is Almost Done - Chap. Six

I have no idea what was wrong with me but inspiration left me for a couple of days. Hopefully, my creative juices will start flowing more freely now. I was able to complete chapter six of When Night is Almost Done so please read it and let me know how it was. It took me more than a week to finish it - an extreme rarity for me - and I am a bit nervous of the final product. Also, a massive thanks to Mirjam is in order for the amazing banner she made, which I posted below. I hope everyone has had a magnificent weekend so far and as always, thank you for taking the time to read and review.

Poppy and Justin Song #1

I am not sure how many people read these random posts when they are not making an update announcement but I was writing and had my i-tunes on shuffle. It seemed as if one song after another could fit for Justin and Poppy from A Pocketful of Poppies and I wanted to start posting some of them so everyone could listen to them and perhaps get in the mood for the story when they read it.

Below, is Street Lights by Kanye West and I picture it as definitely being a Justin song. Give it a listen to below and let me know what you think. I hope to have an update soon of either this story or When Night is Almost Done so be on the look out for either of those. Thank you.

Everything Will Be Alright

So... I was a little bored today, I admit, and though I did write a little, I mostly surfed the internet when I should have been doing other things. Below, you will find pictures of the main characters of Everything Will Be Alright - one of the stories that will receive a rewrite on Fictionpress. This is completely random, I know, but it was just something that I wanted to do.

A Pocketful of Poppies - Part Eighteen

Hi, everyone. Part eighteen of A Pocketful of Poppies is now posted on Fictionpress.com so as always, please read it and let me know what you think if have the time. As I explain in my author note at the end of the chapter, this was added to the outline at the last moment but I think this chapter was necessary to give both insight into Poppy and to give more depth to Justin and his character. I know some are still talking about Wonderwall but I think A Pocketful of Poppies is now standing on its own as a completely new story. It is so different than Wonderwall and please consider APOP a completely seperate, different story. Thank you very much for reading, as always.

Better Together - Chapter Five

I was able to update the fifth chapter of Better Together so if you get a chance, check it out if you have not read the story before and let me know what you think. I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend. It has been raining all day in Milwaukee today and we went to the Marquette basketball but they lost. Oh, well. I will update again as soon as I can. Thank you in advance for everything.

A Pocketful of Poppies - Part Seventeen

What is going on with me this week? I am the updating queen and it reminds me of the old days when I would update several times a day. I am quite happy with the way part seventeen of A Pocketful of Poppies - now posted on Fictionpress - turned out. I wanted to show more of Justin's past and why he sometimes gets those nasty panic attacks. Please read it for me and I hope that I have grounds to be satisfied with it.

I am heading up to Milwaukee tomorrow and will return Sunday - after a trip to IKEA Sunday afternoon. You all know how much I love IKEA. So there will be no updates from me in a few days. I know some of you worry when you do not see the blog updated but it will only be for a few days. I might be able to squeeze in another update of Better Together before I leave but no promises.

Oh! Before I forget, as you all know, I am posting Better Together and then More than Anyone on Fictionpress. Ben and Olivia's story especially is going to be getting a makeover with some editing and adding of scenes. Of my other stories on AFF, which one do you want to see get the royal editing treatment next? Leave me a comment and let me know. I know I have to finish A Pocketful of Poppies, which has two more chapters until completion, and then work must be done on Soldier Boy and When Night is Almost Done but I am nothing if not a person who multi-tasks so let me know which story should come after More than Anyone. Thanks and have an amazing Thursday, everyone. I am in a spectacular mood for some reason.

A Pocketful of Poppies - Part Sixteen

Another update from me! Part sixteen of A Pocketful of Poppies is now posted on Fictionpress so hopefully, the drill is known by now. Head over there and read the chapter for me and let me know what you think of it if you want. Also, thank you very much to Naoise for the banner she made below. I absolutely adore it.

When Night is Almost Done - Chap. Five

As planned, chapter five of When Night is Almost Done is now complete and posted on Fictionpress. Whenever you get a chance, please read it for me and let me know what you think of it if you want. Thank you very much.

When Night is Almost Done Art

Inspired by Molly, I am watching one of my favorite movies, Rebecca, and finally getting around to uploading some of the art people have sent me over the past few days. I am currently working on the fifth chapter of When Night is Almost Done and am almost finished with it. I hope to have it posted sometime tomorrow. *fingers crossed* In the meantime, thank you a million times to both Mirjam and Naoise for the artwork below for this story. I love both of these banners immensely and I feel so lucky to have people make me things like this.
