Along with Dark Angel, one of my other first fandoms was Roswell back in 1998.  I had been reading the Roswell High books right before the show came out and I learned for the first time that TV adaptations of books would never be true to the source material.  I learned about message boards and made friends on Internet forums for the first time.  I ( Read more... )

Growing up in NYC, a favorite joke among the teachers was that a tourist walks up to someone and asks, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" and the person replies, "Practice, practice, practice ( Read more... )

I was meandering around the internet when I stumbled across some articles for and against writing fanfic.  It's funny because I've lived through both sides of the lens for equal amounts of time ( Read more... )

I found this new song on Spotify.  I decided to look up the band, and I discovered that the song was released on my birthday last year.  It's silly, but it made me feel hopeful after the challenges I've had this week.

When I look back at 2015, I can hardly imagine that so much took place in one year.  I can hardly wrap my head around the fact that I'm going to be 30 years old this year.  When I was 28, I dreaded the thought of how much time felt like it had slipped away from me since the time I had finished college.  I hadn't achieved what I wanted in life, and ( Read more... )

While I was working on Alter the Ending, I stumbled onto the Wildfire TV series again.  (Seriously, what is my deal with dead fandoms?  This is the second one revolving around 2008, the year the show ended.  El Internado Seasons 3 to 7 took place in 2008.  I started writing Dark Angel fanfic in 2008.  I graduated from college in 2008.  Clearly, I ( Read more... )

I've gotten into another show, El Internado Laguna Negra, (Black Lagoon Boarding School), which is the Spanish boarding school version of Lost, and fits as a muse for a few older YA stories I have.   Max/Alec fans might enjoy it since Julia/Ivan have a similar dynamic.  Personally, Fermin is my favorite character.  Since I might be posting some El ( Read more... )

I stole another meme from dreamstrifer.

1. What did you do in 2012 that you'd never done before?
I went to a gay night club and danced with a cute gay guy.

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't make specific resolutions, but I did achieve some big goals I've had for a while.  I guess I have the lofty goals ( Read more... )

Freedom!  Summer is finally officially here for me - no classes and no exams until the fall starts!  I'm crossing my fingers about a new job opening, and I'm finally free to write again.

First on my agenda is finishing up Between the Lines.  There's only a few chapters left and I already have the ending worked out, all I have to do is write it.  ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone who sent me birthday wishes.  I had a wonderful time turning a quarter of a century old.

I'm also more and more freaked out by how coincidental the shows Once Upon a Time and Being Erica are with my life.  Sometimes I feel more like a character than a writer.

I know I haven't been updating or writing much in general, but I still ( Read more... )
