Put on that Al Green, So I know it's real.
I’m all about fanfiction, and since I’ve started watching Glee again naturally I went searching. First of all these authors are awesome. Really. I don’t write it myself, but I love reading.
Well one in particular had me clutching all the pearls, mostly for a scene involving an older Sam and Mercedes, vodka, and Al Green’s “Simply Beautiful”. That...

Anonymous asked: So, I'm an aspiring writer who just recently started writing on Lit and I've developed a small following. I feel like it has opened the doors for many others who've been published but got their start there. I know part of being known is having good work but is there any other advice you would give to someone who wants to succeed on Lit like you have? (In my opinion, YOU ROCK and I...

Have you ever finished a good book and closed it, and you feel kind of in a daze? You suddenly realize that you’re stuck in a quiet place between two worlds: the one you live in, and the one you just finished reading about. Both are a little fuzzy and faded, and you sit there wishing you could…

Comments/Feedback is much appreciated.
Posting my first short in a bit. I’ve set up some rules for myself concerning these.
First: No editing is allowed. These are bare bones, rough drafts with mistakes & terrible analogies and all. This is purely for practice.
Second: Each story has a theme. I picked the first one myself. Just one word: Smoke. I’m hoping to do that with every short.
That’s where you, my...

Whoa.
Well apparently tonight has turned into an impromptu “Q&A” session. I have a bunch of questions asking for my advice (which is awesome). I’m gonna try to answer all of them tonight.
As for anyone else, if you have a question, need to rant about love, want music suggestions, or if you’re just bored as hell (there’s a few like that in here any way) shoot it...
Anonymous asked: I think I'm starting to fall in like with my best guy friend. We have so much in common, but I'm really not his type and I don't want to act because I think it'll ruin our friendship. I don't want to lose him, but I don't know if I can stop these feelings.

Anonymous asked: Where do you find your music? I also consider myself a lover of all genres of music but it's hard to find less mainstream things that I could enjoy.
I need to get back into the swing of things, so I might use space here to bang out a few short stories. It wouldn’t be much; about 1000-1500 words apiece, but just enough to get my brain moving. I haven’t done writing exercises for a while. I need a bit of a challenge.

Sometimes I wonder if there would be such an overwhelming response to anti-bullying campaigns if the kids and teens in question were overweight. Bullying is terrible, no matter what reason. No kid should be made to feel horrible because of who they are.
But apparently those rules don’t apply to the fat kids.

I realize I was supposed to post a preview of Ch 6, but I had to scrap a good bit from the story. I wasn’t feeling it at all. So it’s back to the drawing board. Tomorrow is going to a super long day filled with edits and rewrites. I’m trying to stick to my schedule, seeing as how I have 2-3 chapters left as well as the much-anticipated holiday story. As always, you guys are...
