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.

I am so sorry

Life has gotten in the way of my writing. I had been planning on getting one chapter ready before going on maternity leave, but work got in the way. It was a bit hectic and well, too be honest, I wasn't sure what was going to happen with my position as I left. Then I was pretty sure that I was going to find the time to write whilst being home with  my 2 year old whilst waiting for number two. Well, what was I thinking?! Yeah, and then number two arrived, 3 days after due date, and now I have a new love in my life. The most adorable little daughter a mother could ever dream of.

But my head is spinning with ideas, but it is not easy to find the time to sit down and write them down when having to care for two little ones. Good thing is that the hubbie now has vacation for 4 more weeks, and hopefully I will be able to finish a chapter or two in that time. I'm not leaving my stories unfinished. Do not worry about that.

I'm not sure how many of my readers even read this blog, but hopefully one or two has found their way over here. :P I might just have to publish an author's note...
