Teaser!

  I love to tease, especially as I watch criminal minds and hoarders, reassuring myself that the insane psych degree is worth it. As for that history degree I'll never use...nothing will ever make that seem more sane.
 This is from my WIP Veering Off The Straight and Narrow. This one's from Nate's POV after he's unwittingly ditched the boyfriend to attend a party with his jock friends.

 *thanks everyone!*

Teaser Tuesday!

So I'm finally posting from my new WIP tentatively named Veering Off the Straight and Narrow. It's about moving out, growing up, accepting yourself and falling in love with your straight best friend.
After I finished up 365, and during, Casey and Nate's voices wouldn't go away but I couldn't get it right. I couldn't figure out what POV and tense to use, what was happening, what the major arcs were, who they were to each other etc etc.
So I skeletoned about 8 chapters and shelved it. Then they came back, yelling at me to write them. I spent a lot of time with my beta going, what about this way? What if this happens? What if I do it from an external POV? What if I have them roadtripping and flashing back to how they fell in love. Thankfully, my brutally honest beta who loved their voices (and understands them just as well as me) shot them all down until we got to the very last option.
And now it's been flying by :)

*thanks guys!*

Teaser Tuesday!

I'm still riding the holiday craze, finding bows and confetti in odd places and sending out tragically overdue thank you cards. It's my favorite time of the week though! Time to tease! This is from early on in 365, a snippet my lovely beta suggested last week. Thanks Karla! Oh how I miss high school parties!

snip!! thanks for being awesome guys!
