Okay guys! I need your help again - Round two for this writing competition I entered is underway and only the top five make it.

http://www.savvyauthors.com/vb/content.php?242-First-Step-Contest

My pitch is # 7 - Lauren Monroe wants to set the record straight: time traveling is not romantic or cool, especially when there is a price on your head. One of the last of the time travelers - living in a world where monsters and demons runs amuck and the "heroes" only pretend to save the day - Lauren, alongside her brother and friends, must change the course of the future to save humanity... and herself.

And if you're willing, please ask your friends to vote for me. I really would love a chance like this. It could be great for me and I would really appreciate your help.

I'm lucky number 7!

Thank you!!!

Thank you to everyone who voted for my first line for the Savvy Authors contest. I seem to be in the top thirty, which is what i need to move to the next step. I'm working out the details of that now and may be turning to a few of you for some help, as summaries have never been my forte. If you've read my stories, you probably know that. "There was this girl and she was, like, in love with her best friend, or something."

Again, thank you, guys. I'd really like the opportunity this would give me to focus on my original writing and your help has not gone unnoticed. You rock.

This has been a long, hard week and I'm so glad it's over. But this is a weekend where I must get stuff done. Last weekend I lazed about, which I'm glad for and was probably needed, but there are a few things on my to-do list. One of those things is to catch up on all my fandom fun - reading, writing, reccing, and community stuff. I hope, anyway.

Hi everyone! Thanks for putting up with my woe-is-me feelings in my last entry. I really do try to keep that out of here, but sometimes it spills over. I don't know how I feel about this therapy thing. Until I started last year, I might've been depressed, but I wasn't emotional and crying all the time and remembering things better forgotten. And yeah, logically, I know that's not true, but I was raised hardcore Irish Catholic and you do not talk about feelings and such.

**

Now to the main point of this: I am hoping for a favor from y'all. I've been trying to get back into my regular writing to get back on the course to get published. Anyway, I entered this contest where you provided your first line of the current first draft and through each voting round, you get closer to winning a chance to work with some professionals in a writing workshop. I would really love a chance at winning this. And I would love y'all forever and ever (okay, I already do) if you would vote for me.

My Entry:
58. Looking around the makeshift living room of their apartment, at the broken furniture and holes in the wall, Lauren turned her attention to her brother's annoyed gaze and offered, "Hey, it's not easy saving the world."

I will warn that when you click on the "Vote Here" link at the top, for some reason they remove the number to help you find it. I don't know why.

SO yes, please vote! And please feel free to pass it along. And hey, if you think my line sucks and can't bring yourself to vote for me, just vote for the line you like more. Someone might as well will if I'm terrible. But I hope I'm not.

SO vote here: http://www.savvyauthors.com/vb/content.php?242-First-Step-Contest

I'm playing catch up otherwise. Work has been insane. Like working through lunch, coming in early and staying late. Fun times. Hopefully, after this week, things will get back to my normal level of busy.

I've started working on those ficlets for everyone in a notebook as I've been fighting bronchitis the past few days - it's an evil thing, but wonderful to sleep all day long. I say this now, but come Monday when I return to work, I'm sure I'll be weeping at the sight of my in-box.

So I figured my first afternoon back on the computer, rather than typing up what I have of ficlets or finishing off Steph's [livejournal.com profile] iamtheenemy story that I was going to finish last weekend, well, I'll have some fun with questions.

This Week's Fannish Five - [livejournal.com profile] fannish5

What five crossovers would you like to see?

1. I think everyone has heard me go on about this quite a bit already. 24/Alias - specifically the love potential of Sydney Bristow and Jack Bauer. Oh, it could be great. They would be perfect together. Jack is so much better than whiny Vaughn.

2. O.C./Dead Like Me - because [livejournal.com profile] sdlucly refuses to write it, someone must. Seth Cohen as a new reaper. Think of the possibilities! It would be fabulous. Someone needs to write it because the idea won't leave me alone - do we really want me writing it?

3. Charmed/Roswell - both supernatural. I like the idea of Maria having some sort of power because she was always the "plain" one during Roswell's run and I hated that view of her. She was special without powers, man, but imagine her with powers.

4. Joan of Arcadia/Wonderfalls - they both talk to God, or something. Better to say they both hear voices and do as the voices demand. They can meet in the psycho ward. heh.

5. Roswell/Farscape. I don't know how really. Haven't thought it out a great deal. But it could work...right?


A Friday Five - ganked from [livejournal.com profile] dragonsinger

1) Name your favorite pairing?

Of all time? Good God! That's not right. There are so many in different fandoms: Seth/Ryan, Joan/Adam, Michael/Maria, Luke/Lorelai, Pyro/Rogue, Dan/Casey, Josh/Donna. Okay, I'll stop there, but there are many more, man. Many more!

2) Name your least favorite pairing?

I'm not a Polar Girl from Roswell. I don't like the idea of Michael with anyone but Maria. (Oddly enough, on occasion, I can/will read Maria with Kyle or Alex though).

3) Which character that was killed off upset you the most? Why did this one upset you more than others?

Alex on Roswell and Chris on Charmed - both were just...gah...I'm still not over it. Especially Alex's death because it was turned into the crappiest murder mystery EVER.

4) If you were able to bring back this character from the dead, how would you do it?

With Chris, it's easy enough. He just went back to his future. That's what I believe and I refuse to hear otherwise...fa, la, la. For Alex, er, that's a bit harder. Um, it was all a dream?

5) What song most reminds you of your favorite pairing?

"Stay" by Lisa Loeb reminds me of Michael/Maria.

New Battlestar Galatica and Stargate Atlantis this evening! There is a bright spot to the past few days of horrible illness! I'm almost caught up on all my television viewing, trying to pretend that I didn't see Smallville this past week, and wanting to do bad things with Jack Bauer on 24.

**

that interview meme is going around again and ladybug218 asked me some questions...answers are below. Comment if you have questions for me or want questions! )

**

Okay, I'm off to do start typing up some of the ficlets and finish the rest of them. So far, some have turned out much better than others and I apologize in advance for that.

Ciao.

Part five of Trouble In My Head is underway and I'm hoping to get back on track with updating chapters. Right now Laney and Justin are in this crazy place, where they're both trying to protect each other and shutting one another out. Oh, the things some people do in the name of love.

Someone also posted some interesting Joan of Arcadia challenges at [livejournal.com profile] arcadiantales so I might work on those at some point today. But who knows with me?

The first blurb of a new novel I'm working on--if you're interested...posted more for my easy access )

**

I tend not to post the novels I'm working on at any given time--seeing as those are things I hope to get published and constantly revise and what not, but I wanted this somewhere that I could easily access it from work, a friend's computer, or at home without carrying around a disk or a billion different notebooks.
