Random
There is an ad for Vampire Eau de Parfum by Body Fantasies on the Fanfiction.net website. What does it smell like? Blood? Might as well open a vein; its cheaper! Bwahahaha!

Reading Bits
It took almost two days to finish McEwan's Atonement, and I am more than motivated to write the next part of my story. It was a very hard book to read; with not knowing the plot, the relentless imagery that made me mad with skimming--it's written very much like a Jane Eyre, but much more defiant, provocative. I was blisteringly angry with Briony and her injustice towards the lovers, but, as my sister reminded me, it is her story, so I read on patiently.
It does not end well, and that is the only spoiler I will allow myself to reveal. It is a good read, though, and really pits wartime nursing in a brighter, more inspiring light for me. Not like Scarlet, from Gone with the Wind, who wanted to get the hell out of there and abandons her duty, but Briony and her unnerving perseverance with her patients--that even writing seemed childish compared to feeling such awestruck love for these strangers and wanting nothing but to help them.
But the ending was outrageous and I felt jipped in many ways. Therefore, I plan to write in that design, but to a more acceptable ending (at least in my terms). I always love a good love story.

So Excited!!
Well folks, the Sixteenth Chapter is underway!! I just sent it off to my beta reader to do a check-a-roo, and as soon as I get it back I will update!
Personally, I was done with Appalachia. Sorry Jubilee. ;D But we'll come back to it when the time is right! I'm in the mood for a good Jott. And that's not often, let me tell you!
I have been in a good mood as of late, reading Stardust and re-watching Under the Greenwood Tree, so writing downer material was extremely hard at times. I had to tap into my Emo-alter ego, and even that was not easy.
But I stuck it through, and now it's time to write about another wedding (hopefully one that does not end up with Remy and Jean together. Wait, did I just give that away?) and New York (I've never been. Heard it's a nice place, when people aren't trying to blow it up). Check back soon for fanfiction updates VERY VERY SOON! Yes!
