Where my head’s been at. (unpretty, but true)

Oh my, it’s been a whole motherfucking month since I’ve posted here? Shy of six days, an entire month? What can I say?

I have been writing a fan fiction novel on Twilight. Writing this thing has been totally absorbing. And educational. On many levels. And it has been a great bit of escapism, one of my greatest escapes of all time. One thing I now know about myself? I can write a novel. It would be nice if I’d write one that wasn’t using someone else’s intellectual property, sure. But at least I wrote one.  And those of you who are curious to read it will get your chance starting tomorrow over at Twitarded.

It’s called Osa Bella and it was written for women who read the Twilight saga and/or saw the films (men too, if they are so inclined) and fell hard for the romance between Edward and Bella but had this nagging voice in the back of their mind saying, would a character as fantastic (and old) as Edward Cullen really want to be with a high school chick? Really?

I work with high school girls, and I can tell you, he would not.

So this story is basically Twilight, but with the twist that Edward meets Bella when she’s an adult. She’s lived a little. Has some baggage. And some other shit happens. Also, sex. Not as much as other fanfics. This story is not about lemons. But there are some lemons in key places where they need to be.

No analysis for you as to why I’ve been obsessively writing this. There are two reasons. 1. It was fucking fun and absorbing, like a good paper towel or feminine hygiene product. 2. It gave me a break from grieving. Forgive my spotty mood from here on out. I think it’s gonna be awhile before I right myself completely.

Also. FFFOOORRRKKKSSS. I am going.  I can’t believe it, but I am going. September 30th, with the Twitarded family. It will be insane. And you should come. Hit the Twitarded link for details.

Love, cupcakes, and lots of good “hey, it’s the weekend!” sex with your loved one.
