The Nicest Thing - Chapter Four

Chapter four of The Nicest Thing is now on AFF.net so please, everyone do me the favor of reading it and reviewing it for me. I hope everyone enjoys it. Thank you to Lauren for the fanart of Corey below. I hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Answers to the Comments

Hi everyone! I am less than eager about it being Monday but too late now to go back. I was reading the comments people have been leaving for the previous post The Nicest Thing - Chapter Three and I get blown away every time by how everyone gets involved with my stories. I love how you connect with the characters and seriously. You guys make me smile every single day. There were a few comments that I wanted to address:

I have to day I was a little disappointed that Bret opened a branch of his dad's lawn service in Chicago. It just seems so boring, and I don't know average. He graduated from Penn right? Even his dad didn't want him to continue in his footstep so I was just disappointed to see that. Hopefully he is taking it to the next level and is a landscape engineer, or I don't know. (Sorry for anyone reading this who does landscaping or who's spouse is a landscaper)

Okay. You guys have to stop reading my mind and getting ahead of ourselves. This was going to be addressed in the next chapter because Corey and Ella will be having a phone conversation. Remember that Trevor was the one who informed everyone of what Brett was doing now and also keep in mind that he couldn't even remember what Ella was the assistant curator of. Trevor Scott is not big on details. Brett actually is a landscape architect and is designing parks and playgrounds. I will still be going into detail with this next chapter so everyone, stop reading my mind or sneaking peaks at my pages ahead of time.

Hey Kate I just thought of something. The characters are 22right and Joy had Millie at 18? If she was 6, wouldn't that make Joy and Trevor 24? and Corey and Ella 23?

As you can see, math was never my strong suit but the way I thought of it in my head, Millie is turning 6 in July. Since the story is in June at the moment, she is still 5 and Trevor and Joy have not had their birthdays yet either so they are still 23 as are Kyle and Brett. Corey, Ella and Monty are all 22. An upcoming chapter is actually Kyle's birthday, which should be an exciting chapter to both write and read.

There is also going to be a chapter of Kyle and Corey driving home to Lawrence. This chapter actually was going to be a one-shot before I decided to flourish this into an entire story so this chapter is, hopefully, going to be great with Kyle and Corey stuck in a car together for a long period of a time. Just thinking about it, I have the biggest dumbest grin on my face.

Thank you to everyone for all of the interest you take in my story. I'm not sure what I did to be so lucky and have such devoted involved readers but I love it. Now. Anymore questions?

The Nicest Thing - Chapter Three

Chapter three of The Nicest Thing is now posted so please read and review it for me. Let me know what you think. After a couple introductory chapters, I am finally getting into the story and I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. Also, can someone please make me a piece of fanart for this story? I would be eternally grateful. Thank you!

The Nicest Thing Soundtrack

Music is obviously a huge part of my stories and in The Nicest Thing, the main song, "The Nicest Thing" by Kate Nash is, in my head, Corey's theme and how she felt about Kyle after he hurt her. Well, I thought it was only fair that Kyle has his own song and actually, I found two songs that were absolutely perfect for him. The first one below is "Think Twice" by Eve 6 and the second one is "All Over You" by The Spill Canvas. For the Eve 6 song, please just ignore the fanvid and listen to the song. The ability to post the song's official video was disabled so I had to post the song in a Gossip Girl video. Please have a listen to both of them and let me know which one you like. Thank you.

The New Kyle... and Millie

Someone gave me a great idea while I was reading through my reviews of The Nicest Thing and I have decided to switch pictures for Kyle Colfax. I have posted a picture of Corey as well so you can picture the new couple if you want to when you are reading. Of course, you can picture the characters however you want. These pictures are just for people who enjoy the visual aids. Also, below is a picture of five-year-old Millie Scott, who will make her debut in the next chapter - which I am working on right now. I think this actress would be a perfect Millie and I think she looks like a perfect blend of both of her parents. How do you like these pictures? I have noticed a drop in people reading my blog and I just want to make sure that I keep you guys interested and coming back for more. Also, please read the third chapter of A Slow Burn for me. Thank you in advance to everyone.

A Slow Burn - Chapter Three

I was inspired suddenly today and I just kept writing and writing. What came of it was chapter three of A Slow Burn, now posted on AFF.net to be read and reviewed by all of my wonderful readers/fans. I love this chapter and I hope everyone enjoys it as well. Below are pictures of Susan Vandermark and Shane, Lauren's mother and brother, and Nanako, Mike's wife. Happy Friday everyone! I am so relieved that it is finally the weekend.

The Nicest Thing - Chapter Two

I can't sleep and when I can't sleep, I write. I just finished and posted chapter two of The Nicest Thing on AFF and though I know a lot of you could care less for this story, I know that some are already really enjoying it so please read it and review it for me. I am really enjoying writing from both Corey and Kyle's perspective. Corey remembers their last time together perfectly while Kyle remembers the first time they met perfectly. I am excited to write their first run-in after the two years they have been apart. There is an attraction between the two that I love writing about and hopefully, some of you like reading. Below are pictures of Ash, Corey's older next door neighbor, and of Sean and Brooke Colfax, Kyle's parents. Both the Carcetti and the Colfax families will be explored in later chapters. I am going to try and get some sleep now. Please enjoy.

Overload

I feel that perhaps people are suffering from a templeton overload. Since I finished The Prettiest Thing, I have been posting a lot of different things - Nothing Else Matters, two chapters of A Slow Burn and the first chapter of The Nicest Thing, Corey and Kyle's story. Perhaps it is too much too soon. I will cut back and give everyone time to read and catch up. I hope to post something this weekend but I might take my time before another update. I would hate to have people get sick of me and my crowding AFF with all of my stories. I hope everyone is having a good week and thank goodness tomorrow is Friday.

The Nicest Thing - Chapter One

Chapter one of The Nicest Thing is now posted on AFF.net so please read and review and let me know what you think of Corey and Kyle's story. I hope it is loved like The Prettiest Thing. I have posted pictures below of some of the main characters of this story - Corey, Kyle, Monty and Paul and Holly Carcetti, Corey and Monty's parents. I love the pictures because Paul and Holly really do look as if Corey and Monty are their kids.

I know I have three stories going on right now: The Nicest Thing, Nothing Else Matters, and A Slow Burn and I am going to update them whenever I feel inspired. I am not going to box myself in with one story and lose my focus or muse. So updates for the stories will come whenever I have both the time and inspiration to update them. I hope everyone is having a good week. I haven't heard from some of you that I usually do and you know I worry about you.

The Nicest Thing

It is no secret that Corey Carcetti is one of my personal favorite female characters that I have ever created and I know that she is a character that can definitely carry her own story if written well enough.

The Nicest Thing
Corey Carcetti is happy living in Washington D.C. with a good job and good friends. She is even dating a nice guy for the first time. But then Kyle Colfax comes back into her life after not seeing him for years, making her rethink everything she really wants. Some loves, no matter how much we tell ourselves that we don’t want them, never go away.

The story is going to take place about six years after The Prettiest Thing ended so all of our characters are going to be adults and almost every character will be returning for the sequel. It is also going to be focusing on the Carcetti family - a new family I am excited about writing. I am working on the first chapter and hope to have it posted by this weekend. I hope everyone will enjoy it and respond to it as warmly as they did to The Prettiest Thing. If you want to get in the mood, have a listen to "The Nicest Thing" by Kate Nash - the theme song of this story.

And though in The Nicest Thing, Millie Scott is going to be six years old, I saw this picture of this toddler and I had to save it because it is exactly how I imagined Trevor and Joy's daughter. Look at that head of Scott signature dark hair! She is adorable. I am excited about this story and I will let everyone know when it is ready.

Nothing Else Matters - Chapter Two

Chapter two of my collection of one-shots, Nothing Else Matters, is now up on AFF.net and ready to be read and reviewed on. Inspiration struck me today unexpectedly and I was able to write this chapter of Harry and Anne Potter fairly quickly. I hope everyone enjoys it. Also, please read and review chapter two of A Slow Burn for me. Thank you.

Harry and Anne

Never opened myself this way. Life is ours, we live it our way. All these words, I don't just say and nothing else matters. Trust I seek and I find in you. Every day for us something new. Open mind for a different view and nothing else matters.

A Slow Burn - Chapter Two

Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed the first chapter of A Slow Burn for me. It meant so much to me. I knew this story wasn't going to be as popular as some of my others but I am really enjoying writing this story and I love the dialogue between all of the characters. Chapter two is now posted on AFF.net so please read and review it for me. Thank you to Lauren for the piece of fan art below (please make me more lol) and also, there are pictures of Mike, Leah and Claire, Rob's brother and sisters. Please review and let me know what you think of the story so far. Thank you so much in advance.
