After a long, long, LONG conversation with myself, I have decided that I am going to be taking a break from fanfiction. What once was my outlet, my excitement and my joy has turned into something more stressful and a lot less fun. The negativity is too much and I honestly can't handle it anymore.
I started reading fanfiction because of my love for Twilight. I met an amazing group of people during my first few months, and I became glued to the fandom. It was fun, it was exciting and it became the pure essence of my life. I loved it and everything to do with it and it made me happy.
I have very little time to myself these days, and I need to spend it on something positive for myself. Sadly, the fandom is not that place anymore. I'm still going to be writing, but on things other than fanfiction.
For those of you that I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know, I hope you know how much I adore you. You know how to find me and I hope that you do. A lot. For those that I didn't know, but may have read my stories, thank you for your support. Letters to Isabella will be finished one day soon, but I plan on writing it all before posting.
Stop bashing each other. Be supportive of others even if you may not agree. Don't write within the lines, use your imagination and become something great. Don't sell yourself short. There is no such thing as a bad writer.
"Celebrate we will for life is short but sweet for certain."

Battle Wounds chapter 18 teaser!!

"My body froze as she took a step forward. Then another. My heart started to pound in my chest as she got closer and closer to me. Her tiny body seemed massive. She moved like a cat ready to pounce, and all I could do was stand there and pray that she wouldn't hug me."

Some pretty for ya.....

"Do not enter. That meant so many things to me in so many different ways. Do not enter the room for it's a really shitty thing to do. Do not enter the cabinet that sat connected to the side of the desk. Do not enter the files that rested in the cabinet that sat connected to the side of the desk. Do. Not. Enter."

Letters to Isabella chapter 6 teaser!

"I did my best to please him how he wanted, never once questioning how he held me or how we touched. He fucked like an animal and I tried my best to keep up, panting and gasping for breath as he laid into me. I was honestly surprised by how rough he got. His exterior gentleness washed away and he turned devilish."

Because Rome Rob is my fave.... some pretty for you!

Battle Wounds chapter 16 teaser

"There were nights that I couldn't sleep, that the nightmares were so real I would wake up gasping for breath and fighting for my life. I would sit by my window and stare out at the stars and the glowing moon that illuminated the harsh world so brightly.

I would sit and watch, and listen to my father cry. Each sob that escaped him in the darkness of the night wound it's way down the hall, into my room, and embedded itself into my soul."

Twilight Counsel

Thinking back to when I first found fanfiction, I realize now that I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I started reading a story called Wide Awake, not having any clue that it would be the beginning of something amazing for me. I was hooked after the first paragraph and haven't looked back since!
There are a million and one things I have learned since I began reading and writing fanfiction. Some lessons I learned easily, others I figured out the hard way. I always wish I had someone there to talk to and understand what I was going through.
I've always been one to help people. I jump at the chance to help others when they need it, lending a supporting hand or a shoulder to cry on. When I heard about the Twilight Counsel I was thrilled, because it was just the kind of thing this fandom needs. I signed up immediately and now am waiting for a mentee.
Sooooo, are you new to the fandom? Maybe you're not new but feel like you need a buddy, someone to help guide you in the right direction of getting what you need? Do you have a hundred unanswered questions and feel like you are flailing? Are you confused as to what to read, where to go to talk and make fandom friends? Thinking about writing something yourself? Why not join the Twilight Counsel, and get assigned a mentor that will be there to support you and help you when you need it!!!
