TTLBLAH 43 is up!

Yes, it's been a while. I admit. But I'm really trying to wrap this puppy up in a neat bundle, though it's really hard. So much to think about. Along this journey I have learned to write down the character gallery, places I have in the story and other useful stuff. Good to have on hand when the writing is going slow. So, without further ado, here's chapter 43! 

Chapter 43: Badasses on the Move
Elizabeth lazily opened one eye and peered around in the room, suddenly unsure of where she was. William's sleepy grunt next to her brought her back to Boston and his downtown loft. She smiled languidly and rolled over to snuggle close to him. She breathed in his familiar scent and felt like home. She could hardly believe that for only a couple of months ago she disliked him and wouldn't even give him the time of day. She sighed comfortably and caressed his sleep warm cheek. He moved slightly and smiled. Her heart skipped a beat. He was just so gorgeous, even when sleeping. 

It was still early, and she didn't want to get up just yet, so she closed her eyes again, nestling into his embrace as carefully as she could without waking him. There were so many things to do today and she wasn't really sure if she was quite ready to start the day. She was going to have to share William with the rest of the world, but for now they were alone, just the two of them, just how she liked it. She made a mental note of, when getting back to England, she would let William take her out on a real proper date, without any meddling family, friends or conniving Carolines. Just the two of them, for say, dinner and a movie?

TTLBLAH ch 42 is up!

Yes, it took some time, but not as much as I had feared. ;) I'm really on a writing roll now, writing on most of my stories. Yes, there are several.

So without further ado, here's chapter 42: I wanna do bad Things with You:

    “I made popcorn,” Elizabeth stated as she sat down next to William in front of his computer. He smiled.
    “Do you really think this is going to be so exciting that you need popcorn?” He raised a teasing eyebrow.
    “Are you kidding me?” She looked surprised. “I’m sure it’s going to be spectacular. Didn’t you hear Sophie on the phone?”
    “You’re such a weirdo, you know that, right?” He kissed her on the cheek.
    “Yup.” She smiled and tossed popcorn into her open mouth. “Want some?” She held out the bowl toward him.
    “No, thanks, I’m good.” He shook his head slightly.
    “What?” She looked curiously at him.
    “Nothing.”

TTLBLAH ch. 41 is finally up

Yes, I'm so, so sorry for the delay. I got caught up with life and work and trying my own thing. You know how it is. Since I won that contest I've tried my luck in writing my own stuff. But I do intend to finish those stories I have started and posted. I have a ton lying on my computor too. Might finsih them too, you never know. ;)

Chapter 41: The Wicked Witch of the West

Caroline Bingley was used to get everything she pointed at. She had been daddy's little princess and had had him wrapped around her little finger since he first laid eyes on her as a new born. She had found early in life that she easily could manipulate the people around. But now he was looking at her reprovingly. Sure, he had allowed her to take a position in the company, but she could see that he was disappointed in her. Everything had been blown out of proportion and nothing really had gone as planned. Had everything gone as it should have, she wouldn't had been in this mess now.

I won a short story competition!

I am still a bit shell shocked, but I have just won my first fanfiction-contest. That's one of the reasons I have been absent the last month, I concentrated on getting this story finished. It's in Swedish, and is inspired by the book Halvblod (Halfblood) by Sofie Trinh Johansson. A really good book about Avaline who discovers that she is a halfblood, sired by a vampiric father, who wants her dead, and a human mother who died giving birth to her. I'm sure it's going to come out in English, but I have no idea when. I really enjoyed reading it, and it is what got me into writing again. :) So, yes, I'm so happy that I won!

I will be posting this short (well, 13 pages long) story here in the blog later on. I'm thinking of translating it into English, but we'll see about that. Google can translate... or not. ;)

Anywho, I'm working on the next chapter of TTLBLAH, but it's going painfully slow, but I am trying to get it done.

Ch 40 of TTLBLAH is up!

Yes, I was on a roll and just kept on going! Hopefully I will keep this up until I'm finished with the story!

Chapter 40: Naughty is the New Nice

Jane is having second thoughts," Elizabeth announced as they joined the men on the dock. William frowned. He was a bit surprised, since Jane had been the one who had been hit the worst by Caroline. "We really need to talk this through so that everybody is okay with this plan of ours and the consequences that can come thereof." Elizabeth sat down next to William and snuggled close. He kissed her hair briefly before looking around at the people around him. It really did look like a war meeting of sorts. They were all looking very focused and concerned. 

"Perhaps Jane is right," Peter said. "Just because we now have a mole, it doesn't necessarily mean that we have to use this information, let alone expose Caroline at the Ball." 

"I for one think she needs to be publically exposed," Georgiana said firmly. 

"Charlie, she's you sister, what do you think?" Jane turned to her boyfriend for support. Charles shrugged and didn't really seem to know what to say. "I just think that if we do this, at least at the Ball, we're just as bad as her." Jane crossed her arms in front of her and put on her best stern teacher face.

TTLBLAH is finally updated

I really got into writing this week. Yey! I have missed it so much and hopefully this inspiration keeps going. I'm really trying to wrap this story up, so that  I don't need to feel so guilty over not updating the story as fast as my readers would want. :P I have a ton others that lay in wait to be known to the world too. Perhaps a bit of Persuasion, next?

Chapter 39: Everyone Seems to Grow a Conscience 

T 

he arrival of Peter Fitzwilliam was like a cool breeze on a hot summer's day. Everybody's mood lightened up and Saturday's dinner party didn't really look as dull as Elizabeth had anticipated, what with Mr Darcy's hesitations toward her and their little disagreement regarding Bill Collins and Anne de Bourgh and all. The fact that Charles and Jane would be there, too, was also reassuring. She needed a bunch of fans if Mr Darcy were to warm up to her. 

Elizabeth tried to help out in the kitchen, but was constantly chased out by Mrs Darcy with a 'Darling, you are our guest. Please behave as one and go outside and enjoy the weather. I can manage fine, thank you.' Elizabeth didn't doubt that Mrs Darcy could, especially since she had brought in help in the form of Georgiana and a friend of hers, but she wasn't used to not help out. Even if she wasn't the best cook she did make a killer salad.

Finding my way back into writing

I know it's been ages since I've updated the blog and my active story on Fanfiction.net. I'm sorry. I just haven't had any inspiration for that story in a while. I have written a few words here and there, but nothing more substatial than that. All my stories are suffering my writers block. Though, I have tried my luck in writing in Swedish, I've only come three pages.

At the moment I am going through The Thin line and editing it as I read through it. I hope this will wake my inspiration and hunger to continue the story. Because finsih it I will. I will not promise WHEN, but  I promise you that I WILL finish it.

I do hope that a few of my readers finds their way here, because I won't post an author's note. I hate when people do that, because it gets the hopes up, and I  know how dissappointed you get when you find a note saying sorry, I haven't updated, and I probably will not in a while... Nope. I will update the story when I have a new chapter finished.
