I am SP. I live in the southern USA and am a teacher and a graduate student, so if I am slow to update--apologies. But, I will get back to it. Promise. 

I love to write, and have just gotten serious about it in the past year or so. I love Wattpad for the feedback, story contests, and community of people from all over the world. 

I am a positive person. Not real sure where most of my stories are headed. General ideas are great... but I tend to live my life by taking whatever comes next in stride, and my stories seem to follow. 

I would love to critique one of your stories and would love for you to do the same-- just let me know. 

I am currently working on getting A Little Bit of Fe rolling--it is my first and only attempt at anything over 7k words. 

Feedback is always welcome.
Meeting new people is one of my favorites. 
Sharing ideas is a close second. 

So come talk to me.

@sigrist Agreed! When he actually let on to what was happening, I had to go back and re-read it. He had me. Completely.

I read it (Odd Thomas) years ago and I have to say, I wish I had written that ending.

Attention friends! There's another SciFi smackdown starting in the Pub! Truthfully, one of the best things I have ever done for my writing and my social life here on Wattpad. What? You don't write SciFi? Give it a try, anyways. You'll be surprised at what the brain of yours comes up with.

So, I have edited chapter nineteen of A Little Bit of Fe. You can find it here: 
http://www.wattpad.com/14436970-a-little-bit-of-fe-chapter-nineteen#.UYKV3Y40tpY

Also, I have started working on twenty ...and! my goal is to get two chapters churned out this month. Might not sound like much, but that's a big deal for me. Looking forward to see where Jo ends up! Thanks for reading =)

@DemelzaCarlton@CharlotteAshley You ladies are more than welcome to take over my wall at anytime =) As for novel ideas, I am completely and utterly consumed with A Little Bit of Fe right now. It seems to be one of the few things my ad/hd brain can focus on, and I will take it!

A week? Um, more like a minimum of three months for that,@CharlotteAshley !

Hahaha...three-ish novels? I struggle having two at a time in mine, unless they're in the same series. 

Sorry,@parishsp, we kinda hijacked your message board. How many books do you have in your head?

@RandolphDanielWrayII Thank you, so much. That's ridiculously encouraging and humbling at the same time. Thanks for reading =)
A Little Bit of Fe

I liked the mention of "Jane Eyre" and "whilst" =) Not too shabby, friend.
Sands of Time

My favorite part: "obviously wears--wore, will wear..." Nice work, friend. And good luck!

Thanks, SR! Me too! I've been trying to force this chapter in since day one, but it wouldn't come budge until now.@SRBurke
