CHAPTER 27 IS UP!

Hey all,

Breaking almost two and a half months of writer's block and general procrastination (I'm a terrible person/updater...whatever), Chapter 27 of my Paul/OC story is done and finally up on ff.net. Halle-fucking-lujah. I've been tearing my hair out because this has been so frustrating. So I had my characters fight and have sex with their clothes mostly on. Oh well, it fucking worked, and I am mostly pleased with the end result.


Also, during this 2 month period, I realize that I need to re-write this story, at least the first few chapters. Was it my first attempt at writing fiction, yes. That being said, it's awkward, and my writing from chapter 15ish on is way better. At least I think it is, if I would get a damn response from reviewers. Okay that's complaining, and I do have one faithful reviewer plus my friend started reading. That's a hell of a lot better than no one. Sorry for the tangent, here is the link!

Not going to lie, excited for this one. Hope people like it.

New Chapter

Hey all,

Got done with my big test yesterday, which I had to pass if I want to student teach next semester. Even for as big of a procrastinator as I am, I really couldn't justify any writing time between studying and doing work for my class.

Good news you ask? Well I am currently typing up the chapter now, so be excited! Well, I am anyways. So I should have the next chapter up in a few hours! Hopefully I will get a response with this one.

Chapter 27

Hi friends,

So all I really have to say is .... procrastination, thy name is ally.

Yep, huge assignment due in 2 days, and since I put it off I am suffering the consequences. It seems that whenever I have tests or big assignments due, I am hit with inspiration.

Since I am going to be the responsible 22 year old that I am (most of the time anyways), I have resisted the urge to write an entire  chapter, but here is a little clip. Feel free to PM me if you come across this, although I am really holding my breath on that one as I get so little response. Anyways, here is the clip...

Port Angeles Airport


Lily was bouncing impatiently at my side as we waited for her friend Alex's plane to land. She had dropped my hand in favor of spaztically checking the time on her phone every 5 seconds, it was amusing to see her this excited over something.

"Lily, your mom ever tell you that patience is a virtue?" I asked innocently.

"Oh shut it. I'm excited. Sue me. Well don't sue me because I'm a teacher, so I don't really have any money, and any money that I have is spent keeping you and Embry in cookies. Speaking of Embry, I really hope that he makes a good impression on Alex, because as you know I would really love for her to move here," She paused to take a deep breath.

Holy hell, I could not believe the speed at which these words came out of her mouth, and I tried my best to keep up. In the end I decided to go for distraction as I noticed that the plane had landed and people were making their way towards us.

I cut in before Lily could continue, "Hey Lil, I think she's almost here," Indicating the people walking towards us.

Before I could say another word, I heard "Marco" being shouted out. Lily's face brightened even more than I thought possible and she called out "Polo".

She cast me a sideways look, a big grin on her face, "You're better off not asking."

I took that statement at face value, and decided to watch the scene play out in favor of risking my imprint's anger. Alex's visit was pretty much all of us had heard about for the last week, with random tangents to Glee and Harry Potter. Leah thought it was hilarious that Lily could speak so quickly, and she tried to make her go off on as many tangents as possible. I didn't tell Lily that Embry and Leah had made a bet on it, but Leah was by far the clear winner. 33 different tangents in the space of a 5 minute conversation, impressive really.

Lily apparently spotted her friend, and sped off before I even realized what was happening. "Lex, Lex, Lex!!!!" She shouted running straight at a tall girl, with dark hair and a big smile on her face.

Lily threw her arms around her friend and squeezed, Alex allowing it for a minute before they both looked at each other and laughed, they then began jumping up and down, Alex confusedly saying, "We're jumping?"

Another inside joke, it became clear, when the two of them began to giggle. I don't think I've ever heard Lily giggle, and considering the way things have been heating up between her and I, that was saying a lot.

I was taken aback when Lily suddenly stopped, a look of disgust on her face, "Alexandria, what the fuck is on your head?!" Her voice carried farther than she possibly intended it to, as people turned to look at our little group.

Alex had put on of those headbands that were a braid of fake human hair around her head, what Lily terms 'Pocohantas' style. Trust me the only reason I had any idea what she was talking about was because of a 10 minute rant on headbands worn across people's foreheads, Leah was in complete agreement and added her own opinion every few minutes, so Creed and I sat there and nodded our heads like the good boyfriends we were.

Alex simply laughed, this time a completely genuine belly laugh, oblivious to the fact that her best friend was trying to glare a hole through her head. "I picked this little gem up before I left, I knew it would get you!"

Lily huffed, "Whatever Alex, you know how I hate those things." She reached out and snatched it off of her friends head, and flung it into a nearby trashcan. "Anyways, now that the awful headband is no longer, Alex, this is my boyfriend Paul. Paul, this is my bestest friend Alex!"

I reached out my hand and said, "...

......

So here is a baby clippet, I hope you like, please comment on it, and the new chapter will be out this weekend, hopefully!

Update/Question

Hey all,

So it's been about 3 weeks since I last updated, and I'm not going to lie, I was a little bit demoralized by the lack of reader response...again. Anyways, I'm looking to update this weekend.

I've been thinking that I would like to revise the story that I have so far, and completely repost it as a new story. I like the basis of the story, but I need to delve in a little deeper, and develop my characters more. Also, make Paul sound like less of a girl. I wouldn't start posting the new story until I revised everything, meaning I would have 28 chapters already written, and I would update everyday until I run out of pre-written chapters. Thoughts on this? I honestly think this could work out well, and I would be writing new material while posting.

PM to tell me what you think, I would really appreciate it.

Sneak Peak of Ch. 26

Here is a sneak peak of Ch. 26, which will be up later tonight, or tomorrow unless I fail at life again.

Lily POV at a Pack Function!

"Hello Jacob, I'm Lily. It's nice to meet you." I said politely, shaking the burning hot hand of the tall man in front of me.

"Hey Lily, it's nice to meet you too." He said just as politely as he solemnly shook my hand before grinning at me. "This is my girl Cody by the way."

I turned slightly and looked at a woman that was a year or so younger than me, a few inches shorter, but as pretty of a girl that you could meet. She had brown hair that was streaked with gold, a striking face, accented by wide eyes and pouty lips, but with an open and friendly air about her.

"Hey Lily. Nice to meet you too." Cody said, her voice a little deeper than I expected.

Paul drew Jake's attention away asking him about something they were working on, and when Jake replied he popped the 'p' sound whenever it could be applied to a word.

I was saved from saying something as Leah walked in the door and without a word to anyone else started dragging me and Cody off to the opposite side of the room, leaving Creed to fend for himself.

"No offense or anything, but does Jake have a speech problem? Or does he pop the 'p's' to be cool. I'm not gonna lie it's kind of annoying." I said in a normal tone of voice, not realizing that along with catching Leah and Cody's attention, every wolf present would turn to look at me.

Jake smirked, "Nope" he said deliberately popping the 'p', "I do it to be cool, it started because it was annoying and now it's just habit. Gotta problem with it?" He growled a little at me.

I shook my head quickly, my hair whipping back and forth, "Not at all Mr. Alpha. You keep popping those 'p's' to your hearts content!" Jesus Christ, I forgot about the whole super hearing, of course I would completely embarrass myself like that in front of a bunch of people that I didn't even know.

Leah just laughed, finally calming down enough to tell me not to worry about it, Cody nodding in agreement between her own giggles. Leah then launched into a story about some dumb girl named Bella Swan, who surprisingly never came up in any of our other talks, but this was due to me not being in on the whole wolf secret yet.

Bella apparently is a vampire, who seemingly has the perfect husband, the perfect daughter, although I thought she had the worlds stupidest name, and honestly some people just shouldn't be allowed to name their own kids, and the perfect after-life. After Leah finished her story, which was brought on by the fact that Bella had called Jake for something or other, she asked what I thought about it.

"She seems like a whiny bitch to me." Again looks of shock were sent my way, Leah and Cody laughing hysterically, yet both appeared to be in complete agreement. I turned and found Paul who was simply shaking his head in resignation.

Failing at Life

Hi friends,
I'm not exactly sure how many people find themselves here or at my profile at fanfiction.net, but I have been failing at life at updating my 2 multi-chapter stories. I partially blame Inception for my lack of attention, as the movie has completely taken over my brain. Another factor is that I have been unable to find the words for either story. Since I've Been Loving You, Chapter 9 is about half-way written and has been for the last month, I honestly try to sit and complete it and have a hell of a time with each attempt. I am never going to give up on the story, it just might take forever to complete it because I don't want to rush out some half-assed attempt. As for Sitting, Waiting, Wishing, well I have planned out the next several chapters in my head. The problem you might ask? Well I have the big picture figured out for about 5 chapters, but I am lacking the words. This is a humongous problem, obviously. Again, I will overcome this because I love the story too much to let it go. I think the last reason as to why I haven't been posting is because I have been a little depressed at some major life events. I have snapped out of my funk recently, and I feel as though I am in a much better place to write my happy story! Anyways, I have about 3ish chapters of Sitting, Waiting completed, and dependent on the response will be posted on fanfiction.net over the next 3ish days. Thanks all!
