May I: Body Language

“Gillian.” Angelica stopped filing some papers in the cabinet as she approached the pediatric desk. “I heard what happened. How are you doing?”

“I’m tired, but good. I thought I would check up on Sophie before I left.”

"May I" Character List

As an author, I didn't realize how many characters I've made up in my story "May I". So here are a handful of occurring names, and what chapters they've appeared in. Take a look :) P.S. I'll most likely be updating this list every once in awhile as needed.

May I: Crash Pt II

Feeling a cold chill move through her entire body, she watched in horror at the car engulfed in flames and then exploded. All she could think about was how she had left him there, trapped in his seat.

Instinctively, she kept her body over the little girl’s in protection, as a part of Cal’s car flew up in the air, landing on the hood of the car. She could feel the little girl shaking, grasping to her teddy bear and blanket.

May I: Crash Pt I

The ride back over to the hospital was pretty quiet; the light reflecting over his face as he drove. At one point, he looked over at her. “Is there something on my face that you’re not telling me about?”

“No.” Gillian went to glancing back out the window, before changing her mind to stay quiet. “Platonic love, Cal?”

“It’s what you would have wanted me to say, isn’t it?”

“We both know that it isn’t true.”

“So now you’re admitting it—that we’re in love?”

“I didn’t say that I admitted it.” The light turned green and he stepped on the gas pedal to continue through the intersection, but as he was getting ready to say something else—there was a shattering of glass as the car landed on its side.

D is For Devin

“Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Caleb. Happy birthday to you.”  Today, we celebrated my little brother’s second birthday. Four days prior to his, we celebrated my twelfth birthday.

I was now in seventh grade, and clearly outnumbered by boys—besides smitten by one in general. Patrick Delance was my first crush. He had the dreamiest green eyes, and I couldn’t help but steal glances at him whenever I could. It was hard knowing that he probably had no idea who I was, or that he had girls on every side of him.

Time Is the Essence

I for one, would rather like to skip the rest of the weekend to see this episode, "Time is of the Essence". This season of "Make It Or Break It" is possibly going to be a killer. I've read some things spoilers...including these videos, because what has been going on for the first couple weeks...are finally getting to me.

If you don't want to watch (or don't watch MIOBI), then don't press "read more". If you do, then I won't spoil you...if you don't want to be.

C is for Caleb

By the time that Braxton was crawling, mom was pregnant again. She told me that they weren’t expecting to be pregnant again so soon, but it happened. And since I had already gotten a brother, I hopefully wished for a sister.

However, when I went with mom and dad to the ultrasound around the fourth month, we found out that mom was going to have another little boy. I was a little hesitant at first, but as the months went by, I became a little more okay with the idea of having another little boy around the house.

B is For Braxton

It wasn’t until I was much older, that I realized the true miracle of how my mother had gotten pregnant again. My mom and dad had signed up for an experimental drug, knowing that this could be their last chance to have another child. Little did they know what they would be signing up for. 

My mom started taking the drug, and a little over two months after I had dropped the subtle hints of wanting a sibling, I was sitting back at the table; with my parents on one side—and me on other.

A is for Ashlynn

Doing my own version of the A-Z challenge. If you have no idea what that is--and think that I'm just talking crazy--go here, Remember, it's not too late to join in...I'm well aware that I'm a little behind on this. We'll be on D tomorrow, but this is my challenge for the month, that I'm going to try and get done by the end of it.

If you haven't already seen the post and the link from earlier, that was a little sneak peek of my "A" story. Now I'm going to post the whole version here:

The Grey House


More about this house here, and why I'm writing about it.

Middle Of Me: Baby Talk


The second part of my Gilmore Girls story, "Middle of Me". If you're just coming in (or not familiar with the background of Jess/Rory), you should probably read Ode to Joy (Oneshot), Taking Chances (two parter), and of course, the first part of Middle Of Me.

Poetry is Memories

The last few weeks, I’ve decided to take a different approach to writing once again. What prompts that I’ve listed and were going to use for stories—have now entered poetry territory.

It seems like the more I say a word, the more memories that are prompted because of that single word. Which are then rhymed and twisted around, until it’s just like I remembered it.
