TPT - Chapter Twenty-Nine

Chapter twenty-nine of The Prettiest Thing is now up and loaded on AFF.net so check it out for me. Read, review and I hope everyone enjoys it. You know how much reviews help me. Thank you to Lauren for the piece of art of Alex and Joanna. I hope to have the next chapter up by Sunday but I can't promise anything. In the meantime, please read and enjoy chapter twenty-nine. Thank you very much.

Ghetto Gospel Status

Good morning, everyone. Thank god it's Friday. I am writing chapter twenty-nine of The Prettiest Thing as we speak but I wanted to announce something. I am composing a book of short stories that I want to send in for publishing and one of those stories is going to be Ghetto Gospel. I know there are some that have been asking me for an update and wondering what is going on with that story but I will not be posting any more chapters since I am tweeking everything I wrote already and expanding on it. Since I am hoping to send it away for publishing, I cannot leave the story posted on the site. I'm sorry. I don't know if anyone would want to read that story but if I am lucky enough to get it published, I will let you know. I don't even know if this post makes sense. I am still half asleep but to recap, Ghetto Gospel will no longer be updated. I'm sorry for this but I hope people understand. Thank you for showing such an interest and devotion to it.

Harry and Anne

Good morning, everyone. I hope everyone has a good day today. Thank you to everyone who read chapter twenty-eight and reviewed The Prettiest Thing for me. I can never find the right words to say just how much I appreciate it. If you haven't read it, please do so over on AFF.net.

As most of my early morning posts like this one tend to be, this is also a completely random one. It is no secret to anyone that More than Anyone is a fan favorite and there were a lot of characters in that story as well. One couple that people seemed to really love though they were very secondary was Harry and Anne Potter - first seen and mentioned in Better Together but really had more of a role to play in Ben and Olivia's story. I actually had always planned on writing Harry and Anne a short one-shot story eventually since the way they met and married was unique and I wanted to explore that more. Below, I wanted to post pictures of my inspirations for the characters. This is one of the few times where I found the right pictures BEFORE I created the characters. Usually, it's the other way around but that picture of Anne is exactly how I imagined her. I don't know why I am posting this but I hope you like it. Thank you.

The Prettiest Thing - Chapter Twenty-Eight

Chapter twenty-eight of The Prettiest Thing has just been posted on AFF.net so please read, review and let me know what you think but you all know the drill by now. I really like this chapter and I hope everyone does too. It gives insight into both Ella and Brett's thoughts about the New Year's Eve incident and I am interested to see which side people take. Also, below is a picture of Corey and Kyle Colfax. Kyle has been mentioned in several chapters as a friend of Brett and Trevor and honestly, has become the perfect guy for Corey though their relationship is more based on having fun and sex then becoming serious. I am really excited for the next chapter and I hope to start working on that as soon as I finish this post. Thanks for reading and reviewing ahead of time. You know how much I appreciate it. Happy Wednedsay!

She's So Lovely

This is so silly of me but I wanted to post this song because I have been listening to it a lot lately and have been writing The Prettiest Thing at the same time. I think the song is fun, bouncy and I think of Brett and Ella when I hear it. The song is "She's So Lovely" by Scouting For Girls. Give it a listen and let me know which couple - of any of my stories - it reminds you of. And just so everyone knows, I am working on chapter twenty-eight but I have no idea when it will be finished. This week is already kind of crazy. Have a good Tuesday, everyone!

Blast from the Past

HMC gave me more than a dozen pictures she found for The Prettiest Thing and this particular one made us both smile, thinking of Trevor, Ella and Brett in junior high. I just wanted to post it because I think the picture is adorable and I wanted to thank HMC for sending me all of those pictures that will be randomly posted as well as the other fanart that I have from other readers. Thank you.

Presenting Ella

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce Ella Vanessa Scott, our heroine of The Prettiest Thing. I am so excited. After searching the internet endlessly for someone to resemble the Ella I had in my mind when I created the character [as well as the original model I had found], I have finally found her. This girl is the perfect Ella that I envision when I write the character and I am so happy to have found her. Her real name is Nora Zehetner, an actress, and this girl is my Ella Scott.

*I am not forcing these images on anyone. Please envision the characters however you want. The images of characters I post are just to help those who like having visual aids when they read. I just post the pictures for fun. Thank you.

The Prettiest Thing - Chapter Twenty-Seven

As promised, chapter twenty-seven of The Prettiest Thing is loaded on AFF.net and I have to admit. I absolutely love this chapter and I hope everyone else does too. Please read, review and let me know what you think. I can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts. This chapter just seemed to pour from my mind and fingers and I hope it is enjoyed. Below is a picture of Ella created by Lauren. Thank you so much, Lauren. I have more fanart to post and will continue to do so with each chapter update. I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday and don't forget to review.

Wardrobe

In chapter twenty-seven of The Prettiest Thing, the town has a New Year Eve's party - a formal affair that has everyone looking their best. Below are the pictures of some of the dresses featured in the chapter worn by three of the main characters. I hope to have the chapter posted sometime tomorrow. This chapter was extremely easy to write and once I started, I couldn't seem to stop. I will let everyone knew when I post it.

The Prettiest Thing - Chapter Twenty-Six

I just posted chapter twenty-six of The Prettiest Thing on AFF.net so check it out for me. It is a very heavy Brett and Ella chapter which everyone seems to want to read so I delivered. Please read, review and let me know what you think. Thank you.

Moon Jar

Hey everyone. Working on chapter twenty-six, it is very heavy with Brett and Ella. There is a quick scene with Nick and Connie in the beginning but then it focuses on the growing relationship between Brett and Ella. A little spoiler picture is below of the Christmas present Ella gives Brett - a moon jar, which are things I have a strange collection of. I know people are getting a little frustrated and confused with all of the characters in this story and I'm sorry about that. I knew going into this story that it was going to be a complex web of characters. If I wrote a story with just two characters with a few random appearances by minor characters, to me, that story wouldn't be very interesting. So I am going to keep writing The Prettiest Thing as I have always intended to write it. If you want, skip whatever parts you want and read about whatever characters interest you the most. Thank you and hopefully, I will be completed with chapter twenty-six sometime today or tomorrow.

Email

I have taken down my email address from this site so unless you already have it, I am not going to give it out anymore. I have been receiving many harsh emails lately from readers criticizing The Prettiest Thing and how much it has sucked lately. I write because I love it but when I get emails like that, it doesn't make it fun for me anymore and I don't like feeling like it. I never want to go a day where I hate writing. If you don't like my writing or my stories - and pardon my language - then don't fucking read them. Write your own fucking story and maybe, I'll waste my time and insult you like you do me. I'm really tired of this. I don't know if other authors get emails like this but if you do, I am so sorry because people who take their time to write and update and think of stories for people to enjoy do not deserve this kind of treatment. Stop emailing me just to insult me. Do you have any idea how much time and effort I put into this story? I am so fucking proud of this story but every insult cuts at me and hurts me and I don't want to deal with it anymore. Sorry for the rant. Most reviews offer me compliments or CONSTRUCTIVE criticism - thank you HMC for getting me back on track - but those emails that outright insult me, leave me alone and don't read my stories. I don't want people like you reading my stories anyway.
