When You Look Back

I watched this movie last weekend that had several scenes with not so great acting. One scene still haunts me because the actor over over over played the moment. It was obvious he was trying too hard. He was trying to make the scene more dramatic than it needed to be. [...]

Read a Book – AJ

For Katherine Stapleton (aka Kitty), being a shape-shifter isn’t nearly as glamorous as the novels and movies make it out to be. It isn’t all raw, animalistic sex and superhuman physical prowess. There’s also the hairballs.
Kitty has spent her entire life being a less-than-perfect were-cat. She can’t control her animal changes, so she decide to [...]

Usually on a Friday I’m working to make [...]

Thursday 13: TFLN WTF???

I am addicted to Texts from Last Night. It appeals to my juvenile mind and yet, makes me feel superior to these people. Their life is way more screwed/drunk/warped than mine.
Some that made me laugh today…
1- (714): I cut holes in my blanket and put my arms through it. It’s the sleeveless “Bro Edition” Snuggie.
2- [...]

Romanctic Hero or Romantic Zero?

Earlier this week, I was faux plotting a pivotal relationship moment between the heroine and the hero and realized that my hero is romance challenged.  He can do heroic like nobody’s business, but when it comes to being romantic, he needs serious help. Part of his problem is that he believes his actions speak louder [...]

13 – As a child, Jinx had learned in science class about magnets. A pencil threaded on two magnets, suspended above two more, would hang like magic, floating on an invisible force. If [...]
