What's Going On...

Hey everyone!

Sorry for being MIA, but the new semester is kicking my ass and I've been stressed out of my mind. I also made like 117 banners for the Twi Fic Fandom Awards, but that was something I had been working on for around 3 months, so it wasn't that much of a burden.

What's ruining pretty much everything for me right now is that I've been notified that as of January I'll be jobless. This worries me because I still have thousands of dollars in debt from medical bills. This past month, I've  barely had time to get home, eat dinner and then crash at the end of the day between my classes, trying to get extra hours and looking for another part-time job. So yeah...

The good news is that I've been writing. I HAVE, I SWEAR! I got a bit blocked on the next chapter, so I left it alone and started working on the next one (gotta love my OCD self for outlining everything before I even considered posting).

What does this mean? Well, it means that I'll probably do a double update once i'm done with the chapters, it all depends if I manage to finish both chapters and the next one after that. I want to stay at least one chapter ahead, so you guys won't have to wait so long. Does that make sense?

Thanks for the lovely reviews and PMs. I'll try to keep you all posted on my progress, but an update this month...it's just not gonna happen. Hope you guys understand and don't hate me for it. SORRY! Feel free to PM me with questions, I don't mind them.

I wish you all a 🎅 Merry Christmas 🎄 and a 🎉 Happy New Year 🎆

TPG Chapter 16 Teaser

Hey everyone,

My entire body hurts. I was so tired yesterday, and today I had class AND work. On a freaking Saturday! Can you believe that shit?

Anyway, I woke up after a nap with a clogged nose, sore throat and puffy eyes. I feel like shit, and I just want to go to bed again. If I finish the chapter this week, you'll get another teaser on Wednesday, and if I drown in my own mucus, I leave my fandom possessions to my beta and pre-reader.

To be honest, I'm not sure when chapter 15 will be ready at this point. I'm a bit blocked, the dialogue isn't flowing like I want, and I've re-written a scene five times already. I need a break from this chapter before I scrap it all. But here's a small teaser as promised. This is from Chapter 16, which I've been focusing on as I try to get rid of the block I have on 15. Hope you guys like it, and remember this is unbetaed and is subjected to change.

This was unlike any other kiss Bella had ever experienced. It was so full of need and passion. It took everything she had not to drag him to her bedroom and beg him to make her his. But it was too soon, and she didn't want to push things too far. 

Edward sensed her tension, and slowed down the kiss. He cupped her jaw with one hand, lips briefly parting, and then he kissed her again with gentle pecks until she pushed him away. 

“I’m sorry,” Bella said in a rush, cupping her flaming cheek. “I’m just not ready.” 

Edward shook his head and kissed her forehead. “We have all the time in the world, mia bella. So please, don’t feel embarrassed. I understand.” 

“I just don’t want you think badly of me.” 

Edward frowned. “Why would I? It was obvious you were uncomfortable, and I would never dare to push your limits. I’m not that kind of man.” 

“I know, it’ just that…” She bit her lip and looked down, only for her wide eyes to quickly snap up to his face. 

It was then that Edward realized what it was all about. 

She had felt his…excitement, for lack of a better word, during their kiss. 

Edward bit down his lip and shrugged. “I can’t help my physical reactions. You’re a beautiful woman, and I’m just man.” 

“You’re a bit more than a man.” 

Edward let out a bark of a laugh at her innocent comment. 

Bella turned red when she realized how her words could have been interpreted. “I didn’t mean it like that!” 

Ruh-roh! Bella, you naughty girl! Hope you guys liked that little insight on these two's week-long date.

TPG Chapter 14 Picteaser

Hey everyone.

I've been trying to upload on fanfiction.net for a while now, but I haven't succeded. Maybe it's because it's a new story or I don't know. I've been trying to upload the first two chapters of the story I donated to the Disaster Relief Compilation, but no luck.

Hopefully, by the time I get chapter 14 back from my beta the issue will be resolved and I'll be able to upload on Sunday *crosses fingers and knocks on wood*

Chapter 15 is almost done too. I've been busy with the TwiFic Fandom Awards, but I'm back on track and my pre-reader should have the chapter by Saturday/Sunday.

In any case, here's the picteaser, a long with a tiny teaser below.

His cell phone suddenly pinged, popping the bubble they had been in. He picked up his jacket and took the device out of the inner pocket. He tapped the screen and then let out a long sigh. “I need to go.” 

“Oh,” Bella said, a little disappointed. “Did something happen?” 

Edward cleared his throat. “Not really, but it’s getting late and…” He frowned and shook his head. “I’m sorry, but you need to know this.” 

Bella placed her hand on his shoulder. “What’s going on?” 

“Jane spotted a couple of paparazzi outside, and if I stay any longer, more will show up. Because of the law here they cannot approach me, but there is nothing I can do to stop them from taking photos.”

Let me know what you think in the comments below!

TPG Chapter 14 Teaser + News

Hey everyone,

After a couple of weeks from hell where it seems I fought with everyone (my university, my teachers, my friends) and everything (blogger, laptop, photoshop) and even my own mother, I'm finally back on track.

It's been insane here, and then to make matters worse, my mom had to be hospitalized this week. She's better now, but scared the crap out me!

Now that's all over, I'm glad to announce that Chapter 14 is with my pre-reader. This is her second round. She usually suggests a few re-writes, but there were one particular event in this chapter we saw differently and we finally reached a compromise. I'm waiting for her to send back the chapter so my beta can have a look at it and then I'll post it.

In the meantime, here's a little teaser...

TPG Chapter 13 is UP!

Hey Everyone! The next chapter of The Perfect Girl has been posted!

You can read the story in any of the following sites:

   

Remember that Twilighted takes a bit longer to post due to the validation process.

Can I Get A Hallelujah?

Hey everyone!

No, I haven't turned into one of those religious people that yell "Praise the Lord!" every time something great happens. Although there is nothing wrong with that (I was raised as roman-catholic after all), but if you have read the dark fic I wrote for the Beyond the Pale contest (thanks Fanfiction.net for pulling it, btw) you know I'm in no way tuning to religion any time soon.

So, the real reason I'm screaming "HALLELUJAH!" is because... *drum roll* TPG Chapter 13 is DONE!

I'm sending it to my pre-reader right now, and then it will be in the hands of my beta. Hopefully, you guys will be able to read the chapter next Sunday. Just keep in mind my pre-reader lives in a different timezone, and well... I think she's probably asleep right now, so it will take a couple of days. BUT like I promised, I'll post it as soon as I have it in my hands all pretty and free of errors.

Can't wait for you guys to read it, and thank you all for being so understanding! FLOVE YOU GUYS!

Till next time,

TPG Chapter 13 Picteaser

Hey everyone!

I was about to crash when I remember I never posted this yesterday! *head desk* Honestly, I should have scheduled the post, but we all know that Blogger hates me for some reason and well...didn't want to take that chance. Anyway, I had a wonderful birthday and the chapter is almost done. I've lost count on how many times I've re-written this scene, and it's probably going to change again after revisions, but here's the gist of it. *squeals in excitement*

TPG Chapter 13 Mini-Teaser + News

Hye everyone!

First of all, big apologies for not updating. I've been promoted at work and my new boss is draining me of my life force every single day! Well, actually, that's a bit too dramatic, I've just barely gotten time to even think lately and being blocked doesn't help. In simple words, I've been exhausted beyond belief.

I want the chapter to be perfect, and there is one scene that I've title "The Balcony Scene" that's giving me a headache. Edward is refusing to give me all the details and Bella is way too shy to spill. *sighs* I love the fuck out of these two, but they are seriously getting on my nerves! UGH!

Anyway, since my birthday is on Sunday I decided to post a mini-teaser today and give you guys a picteaser on Sunday. Sounds nice? I promise to update as soon as the chapter is done! *crosses heart*

As usual, forgive all mistakes, my beta and pre-reader haven't seen this yet.

TPG Chapter 13 Teaser

Hey everyone,

As promised —although a week later— here is the teaser. I'll update as soon as the chapter is ready, so give me a few days to fix the mess Google has made for me.

Thank you for your understanding and encouragement. I'll leave you to read the teaser and don't forget let me know what you think!

EDIT: I had posted this in the morning, but something happened and Blogger saved it as a draft. What irked me more is that I went back to not having access to the blog until a couple of minutes ago. I don't know for how long I'll have access, but rest assured that I'll be working on the chapter.

GOOGLE FREAKING HATES ME!!!

After a week from hell and battling with both Blogger and Google Docs, I'm finally back.

I know there wasn't an update on Sunday, and that was all my fault. I had uploaded the chapter to my Google Drive because I was going to be out of town and wouldn't be taking my laptop. Instead, I took my brother's tablet and wrote from it. Everything was fine until last week, when on Tuesday night I couldn't get access to my drive. I contacted Google and they said they were going to fix it. I waited and waited. I kept writing the chapter, because I knew exactly where I had left it off, but I couldn't finish it until today. I'm gonna be merging what I have and try to send it to my pre-reader and beta tonight. Hopefully, I'll have a chapter for you guys soon. I'll promise to post it as soon as it's done, no matter if it's not a Sunday. I've been writing a bit of chapter 14 as well, so I'll try to post another update the following Sunday.

I cannot tell you how sorry I am, but shit happens, and it seems Google had it against me.

Stay tuned, I'll be posting a teaser in a few minutes.

TPG Chapter 12 Picteaser

Hey everyone!

I'm way too high on painkillers to write a witty message, so I'll just cut to the chase. Here's the picteaser for next chapter, which is already on the hands of the lovely LaMomo. She's been teaching me to show and don't tell this week, but for now I'll tell you guys that while my back has declared war against my body and won the first battle, I'm refusing to go down without a fight! So, here you go. Please forgive any mistakes since the text wasn't looked over by LaMomo nor Salanna, who by the way is in Portugal having fun and drinking wiiiine! Lucky bitch.

Okay, I'll shut up now...or stop typing, in this case. Whatevs...

Till next time,

TPG Chapter 12 Teaser

Hey, everyone!

So, I was a little depressed yesterday. For those that aren't aware, the 2014 FIFA World Cup is in full swing and yesterday Brazil was annihilated by Germany. The final score was 7 to 1! Germany broke a couple of records during that game, and the Brazilians were sent home.

But since they are the hosts, they just left the stadium and drove home. YIKES!

Anyways, I look forward to today's game, Argentina vs. Netherlands, so I'm gonna post this before I get carried away!

As usual, forgive any mistakes, this hasn't been seen by my lovely beta or pre-reader.
