Hey guys!

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a very happy new year.


Second of all, I have a new story out entitled Just There.
http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2457520/1/

Summary: Alright, I'll admit it, I somehow fell for the bad boy - but never in a million years did I think that I would also fall for his roommate

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Hey guys!

Imagine this...I'm still alive. And I know, I really suck because I haven't updated in a while. My excuses? The same school...lack of ambition.

Plus, I've started working on new projects: want to hear them?
STORY #1
Title: Just There
Summary: Alright, I can admit it, I fell for the bad boy but never in a million years did I think that I would also fall for his roommate.
Excerpt:
“You slut,” she teased rolling her eyes as she sat down on the end of the bed. “Don’t tell me there was more than one.”

“Well,” I trailed off pretending to be deep in thought. To add suspense I allowed a sly grin to spread across my lips. I suppose it is rather mean of me to torture her like this.

Glancing back over at her, she reminded me of a little kid waiting to open their presents on Christmas morning. She was bouncing up and down on the corner of the bed, one hand had a strand of red hair twisted around her index finger while the other was slowly tapping against her thigh; the only difference was that her face was far from happy. In fact, it looked a little pissed – not that she was going to kill me or anything, I guess annoyed would probably describe it a little better.

“Julie Anna Anderson. Tell me the truth right this minute,” she ordered and by her firmness of her tone, I should probably stop joking around. Gabby loves me enough to put up with my games but only for an extended period of time.

“Don’t do that again,” I warned, “You just sounded like my mom right there.” I had expected her to laugh at my comment but she just continued to glare at me.

Well, my statement was true. My older brother, Todd, and I used to get in trouble all the time as kids and somehow, I was the only one who ever got in trouble. That brat is five years older then me and should have known better, I was always the one getting yelled at. Go figure.

“Stop avoiding the subject,” she ordered, “From your expression, I know there was at least one guy, I just don’t know how many more. My guess, just one, but you never know. Every time I called you always seemed to be at one party or another.”


STORY #2
Title: Holiday Fun?
summary: Another family vacation. Another three weeks watching her siblings run around while her parents hang out with their friends. A typical vacation for the Hastings, well, typical until he came into the picture.
excerpt: nothing but plot written so far

STORY #3
Title: Football (I know, this sucks, I haven't really had a chance to brainstorm yet)
Summary: After everything that happened with Jake, she was forbidden to get involved with the players on her dad’s team. Unfortunately, they did not get the same memo.
Excerpt:
Do you know that phrase that states you can never go home again?

Well, it’s false.

It should really be: you can go home again, but everything is different not because it has changed but because you have changed.

Whew, that was a mouthful; I guess that’s why no one bothered to change it.

For me, home was always a two-story house in Westwood, Massachusetts complete with a whitewashed picket fence and the perfect climbing tree in the front yard. Westwood was my home for eighteen years and I loved every minute of it. Everything I cared about was located in the area. Or, it was until I ventured outside its borders.

“Don’t hate me,” I begged as I pulled my suitcase off of baggage claim at Logan International Airport in Boston. Despite the noise of the crowd, the brunette next to me, aka my best friend, couldn’t help but grin at my comment.

Jackie and I met at Cornell University our freshmen year and instantly took a liking to one another and have been living together ever since. While our similarities were few, we complemented each other pretty well.

She was set to spend the holidays with her parents but last minute they decided to visit some distant relatives in California. And since Jackie had never met them before, she graciously accepted my invitation to spend the holiday in Boston. Granted she did have relatives in the area so when I got sick of her I had someone to send her to. Maybe I should put them on speed dial?

Just kidding.

“Why on earth would I hate you? Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? You are just too lovable” Jackie called over her shoulder as she started pushing her way through the hoard of people. Holidays and airport do not mix, especially at Christmas.

Add that to the list of why going home for the holidays is an adventure in itself.

“I sort of left some things out about my family.”

“Are they serial killers?”

Hey guys!

Today is such a nice day out and more importantly, it was nice on my day off from work so I was able to go to the beach today.


Chapter four of Off the Ice is done. Ally edited it for me I just need to look at a transition between two scenes before I post it.

Oh yeah, if anyone happens to read this or checks it out at one point, just drop in and say hi. I'm curious if this is this a huge waste of time or not.

Thanks!
Alex






“Stop calling me babe and any other affectionate term your tiny brain can think of.”

“You know, most girls would kill for me to call them that.” He raised his eyebrow.

“Good. Then don’t waste your words on me,” I replied with a smile.

“So, I got an interesting phone call before dinner.”

“The circus called and they want you back?” I asked, leaning back in my chair.

So, it's been a long time. I really don't know what to say and I doubt it anyone reads this anyhow.

I've started my third story, Off the Ice which is taking off quite nicely. I'm getting a pretty good response from it too so I'm happy about it.

So I have a new story idea, and it is nothing like my other two stories (both being romances). I'm not too sure if it is gonna work out, and I have a feeling it is gonna take a lot more work then my other stories, but I'm willing to give it a shot cause I feel that in the long run it will help my writing.

Here is a summary like excerpt:
I’m going say this again, and I will say this over and over for the rest of my life. I was born here. I grew up here. And by god, I will die here.

My name is Joyce Jean Hunnington and my hometown is Deerwood, Connecticut.


So basically it is about this woman (in her seventies) who is reflecting on her life and the town so has always lived in. I'm thinking that each chapter is going to be a flashback to a certain part of her life, which will probably end up tragic. She will have nothing, which is why she is clinging onto this town for dear life.

I'm not sure if i described this well, I have very little written and it is really underdeveloped right now.

I also know I probably shouldn't start anything else till I get LIF finished but oh well.

So if you have any thoughts, or know of some story along these lines, let me know

Yeah, I'm really bad at updating this page. Probably it's because I'm usually on my other username on this site. I'm only really using this site for my writing, and I have a feeling that no one really reads it anyway. Only a few of my friends (i think 3) actually know that i write and only one has read my work (or 2...not sure). I just feel weird with someone I know reading my work. Does anyone else feel this way?

Anyway, I'm working on updating. I've been slow because I'm recovering from mono. I still need to get my other story posted, im just waiting for my beta to return it to me.

So ya, this post was probably pointless. In the rare case you read this, feel free to say hi.
