Dreamland Review

Sorry for the terrible helicopter noise. My tripod has broke so I'm having to find random objects to set my camera on. For this video it just so happened to be my printer which was on and apparently running at the time.

Stomping Ground Update - 1st Chapter

Hello! So I'm really excited about this new story I've written. I feel like it's a clean slate to start from. I've currently written the first chapter but I'm not sure I want to post it on Wattpad just yet. I will probably do some more editing before I post it. I thought maybe I could post it on here and get some feed back. Constructive critism is my goal! I feel like where I have ended with this chapter needs a little boost but I will more than likely add that before I post. 

I am, however, sharing what I've written with you right now. The link is litereally the word link. So here it is:

I feel pretty good about this chapter so far. Please comment and tell me what you think!

Updated My Wattpad!

Hey Loves, SO BIG NEWS. 

As you know if you follow my blog I am currently in the process of deciding how to end Twisted!(:D) I am also doing more writing on Changes and Old Ghosts. Whilst in the process of deciding to end Twisted I have also decided to temporarily give up on With Luck. I'm just gonna say. It's not happening anymore. For right now. I believe whole-heartedly that I will come back to it. 

BUT.....(DRUMROLL) I am starting a new story. Stomping Ground. Along with this new story I am trying a new writing style that I've been wanting to try. I'm not 100% sure how well it will work out but I have high hopes. 

I am making a video soon and I'll talk more in depth about everything. I will include more so stay tuned. I also have a short book haul coming up. 

Also be on the look out for these videos:

• January TBR/TBR Jar announcement. 
• December wrap-up
• Writing Updates

So please go check out my Wattpad. Please read, comment, and vote on anything you like!

My Year In Books 2014

    So I know everybody has been doing these 'cliche' end of year videos/posts. I decided to do mine. Now I'm not going to be giving a summary of these but I will be giving my rating and a small comment but to keep this as short as possible I'm leaving out the summary. 

Books Read In 2014

4/5 Stars. I plan on finishing this triology in 2015!

                        4/5 stars. I loved this book! John Green is just ahh. I didn't like Alaska though.

3/5 stars. I enjoyed this book it wasn't a terrible read but I did feel that it was kind of cheesy

3/5 stars. I didn't particularly love this book. I read it for school but I did get pretty attached to the characters.

5/5 stars. I LOVED THIS BOOK. I actually still fangirl over this book. It was amazing. I am getting excited talking about it right now to be honest.

5/5 stars. I loved this. It was cute and contemporary and I really really hope there's a sequel.

4/5 stars. This was really good, it was not exactly what I expected. The synopsis on the back didn't make it sound exactly like what happened. 

4/5 stars. The story was good but it just moved very slow for me. 

3/5 stars. I feel like I was a little behind getting to this book. It seemed a little like it was from the beginning of the YA genre, kind of outdated. Over all I feel it was a good story line and I do plan to finish the series.

4/5 stars. I really enjoyed this book. Okay scratch that. I loved this book. This was a contemporary romance but it wasn't a love story and I just really really loved it okay.

5/5 stars. Okay? Okay.

5/5 stars. By the way I'm going to see Insurgent at midnight.

4/5 stars. This is just a cute quirky little story about a girl with guy bestfriends. I loved it. It reminded me of my guy friend (S/O to Allen)

Anything Less Than Everything Review

  So I finished this book last night and decided to sleep on my fangirl session before I wrote a review. I wanted my review to be well worded. So now that I've slept on it and thought about it here it is.

  I LOVED THIS. I loved everything. None of the characters made me want to punch them in the face which is a very good thing btw. Also if you've never heard this my teacher wrote it (S/O to Mrs. Adkins!) I highly recommend reading this book. It's a contemporary romance and I loved it.

I feel like this book is John Green worthy so I put it beside his books on my shelf. Actually between Sarah Dessen and John Green. I gave it 5/5 stars. 

So now that I've given a well written fangirl opinion about this book I'll give you a short rundown. 

Basically Brooke gets her heartbroken at the very beginning as in chapter 1. She then meets Aaron who becomes her friend or bestfriend rather. He's the quarterback for UMICH(Michigan)and(little known fact the author and main character are both Michigan fans)to Brooke he's practically a celebrity. 

Thats where I will end because I fear giving too much away. Okay pretty much all you need to know is that you should read it. Pst sidenote, I was totally shipping Brooke and Aaron throughout the whole book okay.

That's all I have for now. I'll be back soon with another post!

Twisted Ch. 22

A/N Hey Loves, I know it's been a while since I've updated Twisted but here's an update. You can find this on here or on my Wattpad. If you've gotten behind or forgot what was going on because it took me so long to update just go to my Wattpad. It will be a lot quicker and easier for you to update there! I won't keep you much longer so I'll talk to you at the end of this chapter with another author's note.

I’ve never really given much thought to who came and went in my life. People came and went like they were going on a trip to the grocery store. I was sitting around a fire with all these people who’d came and went my whole life. Everyone but Jennifer.

The flames were warm against the chilly wind. I turned to walk inside to get a mug of hot chocolate. Timmy’s yard was big so it wasn’t a short walk, but it wasn’t a really long one either. Honestly I kind of enjoyed it. I had gotten used to being at Timmy’s house at one time but not anymore. It’s still the same place but it had changed. Timmy was neater with his messes. He and Jace were the same age, 19. They graduated already, the rest of us following suit soon. It didn’t really matter how long ago they graduated though. We still felt their presence at school even though they weren’t walking through the halls on a daily basis. Timmy had become a really close friend of mine. We talked almost every night on the phone for almost 2 hours. I loved him but I wasn’t in love with him. I know we have no future in lover terms but I know we have a future in friendship terms.

I ended my own thoughts when I skipped into the kitchen. Where did he keep his hot chocolate? He had probably moved it since the last time I was here. It used to be by the coffee pot because I don’t like coffee. I opened a couple cabinets thinking about where I would be if I were a box or container of hot chocolate. I found the mugs, my favorite one still being in the front beside Timmy’s navy blue one. That one was his favorite. Mine was purple with little eternity symbols all over it. I found a spoon. I went back for Timmy’s mug because I thought it would be nice to bring him a cup of coffee. Decaf, 2 sugars, 3 dashes of cream, not pours dashes, and a squirt of caramel. The caramel was a secret though, didn’t make him feel manly.

“You know it’s not nice to just walk in and not speak.” The deep voice behind me made me jump almost dropping Timmy’s mug.

“Aiden, I-I didn’t even know you were in here. Actually I didn’t even know you had shown up.” I replied, I was out of breath from jumping so hard.

“Didn’t think many of you would want to see me.” Okay bro I know we broke up but theres no reason to act like that. Besides he didn’t truly want to be with me anyway, he cheated on me with Jennifer whom I don’t speak to anymore.

“If we didn’t want to see you we wouldn’t have invited you. Aiden I know we aren’t together anymore so it seems like it would be weird for us to hang out but honestly I have no harsh feelings toward you. Shain might but that’s because he’s overprotective. You know how it was when he hurt me. You got protective. I will be honest I was hurt at first but I’m perfectly okay now. I can’t stay mad at you. I never have been able to. I feel like you should be more mad at me but don’t you dare walk in here moping around. Do you see Alex out there all over Shain? Yeah I don’t like that because she hurt him and I know him and Timmy wouldn’t appreciate mine and yours speaking so nicely. Aiden I’m aware of all these things. I’m okay I’ve moved on but I want to know one thing. I know I’m kind of being all over the place with my words but I’ve wanted to talk to you. I’ve been waiting to speak to you.” I said more than I intended to. I didn’t expect it to all come out in such a rush. Honestly I was still a little hurt that he did cheat on me because I wished he had the respect to tell me. I wanted him to be in my life though. Not because we dated but because we were friends and we have the same friends and I just couldn’t be the one to ruin his friendships. I mean he’s the one who brought Milk around but we’ve all adopted him. I couldn’t sit around and just know that he had to go make some new friends because we broke up on bad terms. We were hardly ever seeing each other anymore anyway.

“What do you want to know I’ll tell you anything just please don’t let me lose my friends over this. I’ll have no one to turn to. I know that sounds really bad, it sounds like I’m only worried about my friends and not you but I include you in my friends. I know they’ve all taken your side.” He looked really tired. I’m not sure how much sleep he’s even gotten.

“I want to know why. I know that sounds cliche as hell but I just wanna know. Like why didn’t you just end it? Why didn’t you tell me? Why did you make me believe you were so in love with me? Why did you buy me a promise ring and not even keep the promise? What was the point? Also why haven’t you been sleeping and why would everyone take my side automatically?”

“I was in love with you, I still love you but it. I don’t know. It’s not that I wasn’t feeling it anymore, it’s not that I didn’t want to hurt your feelings by ‘not telling you and sparing you’. It’s nothing like that. Paisley I don’t have an answer and I don’t have an excuse for my actions. I wish I did but I don’t. You deserve an answer and so much more but I can’t give you one. I don’t have one and I’m not gonna sound like that douche who cheated or left because we never went further than kissing. That never bothered me. It was never an issue. It doesn’t matter that you slept with Shain, I don’t know when that happened. I don’t care to know when that happened. I don’t even care that you lied to me. I wasn’t there I didn’t know and I don’t need to know the details. Honestly I don’t even know what happened with me and her. It was just a conversation and then all of a sudden it was way more and I don’t even know how it happened, I don’t know why it happened. I just know that it did. The spaces in between are really foggy like I was on cough syrup or something.

“All those guys out there. Shain, Jace, Timmy, Ian, and even Keylee they adore you and they love you and you’re like their little sweetheart or something. Paisley they’re never gonna sit and listen to me. They’re gonna do what it takes to protect you. You matter I don’t.”

I listened to everything he was saying. I listened hard and I listened good. When I felt enough time had passed for me to analyze what he had said I spoke. It would take me much longer to analyze all this information than he thinks it would.

“Thank you. You matter to you know. They all know I have no hard feelings for you.” I turned to pour coffee into Timmy’s cup. A thought hit me. “Wait did you say it was foggy and you didn’t know what happened?”

He looked around confused, like I had lost my marbles. “Yeah?..Why?” I set Timmy’s coffee cup down on the counter, practically slamming it.

“Aiden you didn’t willingly cheat on me!” He stood up.

“Yes I did Paisley I know it happened, are you in denial or something?”

“No! About a month before Jennifer told me I caught her at Shain’s house. She was seducing him but it wasn’t working so she drugged him. He was trying to fight it but he was about to give in until I walked in. Aiden you didn’t willingly do that.” I started dancing around Timmy’s kitchen. Not in a happy way but because I could finally give Aiden a little peace and we both have answers. “Not like we’re gonna get back together or anything. Not any time soon anyway.”

“Paisley this changes things. I’ve been going around this whole time believing I did it and now I realize I wasn’t even sober when it happened.” His eyes lit up as he was talking. He ran over and gave me a hug. We stood there for a few minutes just hugging. He finally spoke into my hair, he was crying. “I can sleep better now. Oh My God Paisley thank you. You don’t even know. I mean I’m still in really deep regret but I was thinking this whole time that I did it and di-- I love you and I know this doesn’t change anything but I just really want you to know.”

“Shh stop crying.”

So that was my shortish chapter update for Twisted! I will be ending this soon, I was hoping that when I started this chapter I would get a better idea of when to end this, so far I have. I'm guessing I'll only write 4/5 more chapters and then I will find a happy ending that I'm satisfied with. There will not be a sequel to this. I may do short stories to give updates every now and then but there is no sequel. I'm currently planning to start another story really soon. That's all the info I have for you today. Later Loves!

Stomping Ground

Hey Loves, 
     So if you follow me on Wattpad you'll see that I'm debating giving up on With Luck. I just can't get past writer's block. I just am not having an ideas what so ever. So I think I'm going to try and start a new story. I know it won't replace With Luck but I hope that I'll be able to write it a little more efficiently. 
   The new story I'm planning to write is called Stomping Ground. I've designed a cover and I have a synopsis and outline written. 

She knows he’s a player, he knows what he wants. What his other brain wants anyway. What he truly wants is to find someone he can fall in love with. He has a dark past and his future isn't exactly the brightest.

She is tired of being played and cheated on. Her not so fair share isn't what she expected when she finally got it. Now she’s duct taped the pieces of herself back together and wants nothing to do with love but she doesn't mind having a little fun. Especially if it means getting to drag the player around.









Well comment or contact me somehow and tell me what you think! I really want to know!! I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight Loves!
