SPOILER ALERT:

for those who pay attention to this blog, and noticed the song choice in the last post, you’ll notice it not included in this chapter’s song selections.  i decided to hold it off for the next chapter…in which we see edward being completely obvious and enamored with bella on his double date with vanessa.

also, many of you hate vanessa, thinking her a rather devious character.  and while she kind of is…you also don’t see how she is with bella.  that’s the trick with just one-sided pov stories. plus, edward’s view on people is often times skewed.  so…

so is she good? is she bad? what are her intentions? hmmm i can’t really say.  you just have to wait, and hope there’s a bpov sometime down the road to enlighten us on victoria’s character.

here she is, vanessa.  does she look bad to you?

oops

i’m so bad at blogging frequently.  i’m trying to be better.  also, RL was kind of throwing me under the bus this past week or so.  now that things are settling down, i’m back to writing. 

this next chapter is titled If It Works, song by Tokyo Police Club.  the lyrics do not apply.

chapter song (one of them): Desperate Guys by The Faint.  this song is one of the ones that, upon hearing, made me instantly think of TAITA.  i’ve been waiting to use it.  <3 the faint.

just a few things to share

for anyone that is interested in the music selection (srsly are any of you interested?) here’s the alkaline trio from the latest chapter.  “enjoy your day” made me immediately think of Nurse Shortcake and Dr. Mcdouchey when i was first plotting the story out.  the song kills me, in the best way possible

as far from alkaline trio as you can musically get (ok, so maybe not quite true) is goldfinger’s pictures. 

also, some of you seem to be concerned that the kiss was a dream.  not so.  the kiss was real.  and a lot of you are hating on vanessa.  some even think bella plotted vanessa’s ambush before she left for AZ.  also not so.  vanessa went into the room on her own accord, with her own agenda.  it was written intentionally vague.  some of you asked about it in reviews and i tried my best to reply.  let me just say that vanessa can see what is really going on between edward and bella, even if they can’t or choose not to see it themselves. 

lastly, for those who may think the kiss (or the entire chapter for that matter) happened too quickly, i agree.  but it doesn’t change the fact that edward was overwhelmed with emotions and just couldn’t stop himself.  i kinda think it’s adorable of him.  unexpected and just sweetly uncensored he was happy to see bella and showed it the first way he thought of.

chapter 10 is up (this one is NSFW)

and now that it is (and you’ve hopefully raed it) i can share some of edward’s vivid mental pictures:

who wants a teaser?

in the form of a picture…

so i think you can guess what’s gonna happen…

if all goes according to plan i will have this next chapter finished tonight and off to the beta (lovely arra584) asap. 
the chapter title is
“you’ll be in my dreams today” by screeching weasels. 

songs for the chapter (for now) are
“enjoy your day” by alkaline trio and
“picture” by goldfinger.

clearing up some confusion

i’ve noticed in a lot of reviews that some ppl are confused as to wtf happened at the end of this past chapter, “smile like you mean it.”  while i won’t say wtf is up with bella’s reaction, i do need to clear up the q’s many of you have posed.

edward is all about asthetics.  many ppl believe symmetry=attraction.  bc of this, edward thinks his face, and his smile, should be as perfectly symmetrical in order to look good.  that also means edward’s smile was not crooked before the accident.  by making his smile crooked as a result of the accident, we are closer to having a more “cannon” edward…that is if canon edward though about making cream in his pants for his very own Shortcake.  heh

does that help some?  i’ve been tryin to respond to every review, but that gets to be pretty damn hard.  so hopefully you can get your answer(s) here!

it’s been awhile

so idk exactly how many people actually check this for updates on the status of my writing.  tho i have deleted my twitter account and have deactivated the taita thread on twilighted so this will be really the only place to come and find out what’s going on. 

currently i’m working on chapter 8.  i have a few different options for titles.  i won’t list them, but will give you the chapter songs.

tick, tick, tick by the yeah yeah yeahs
queen of apology by the sounds
i will possess your heart by death cab

within the next day or so i should be putting up a teaser.  if you guys are enjoying this blog and whatnot, please feel free to leave comments.  that way i know i’m not just taking up useless space on the internets.

time for another teaser

i’m on a fucking roll, a warm soft buttery one.  i’ve written quite a bit.  here’s a teaser for you all to enjoy:

“It just keeps on getting better.”  Now I was glad my legs didn’t work. I wish my ears didn’t work either though.  And if I had to even see that bitch I would definitely be looking for something to bash my head against to knock me the fuck out.  “Why’d you bring her with you Em?  More importantly, what did you have to bribe her with to come?”

“Let’s just say her coming has everything to do with it…if you know what I mean.”  Emmett made a move to nudge my side, but one look from me and he stopped.  I was still healing after all.  I didn’t need an elbow in ribs that were still mending.

Unfortunately, for all parties involved, I did know what Emmett meant.  All too well.  And repeatedly.  The thought made me nauseous.

 “It’s Isabella, Bella Swan, right?”  The voice of Satan herself spoke out again.

 “That’s right.”  I could hear the uncertainty in Bella’s statement, almost a question by her inflection.  “Wait a minute…oh my God… 

who is it? who is it? any guesses?  i’m sure you can figure it out.  i’m not that complex.

Found my Shortcake

So after some discussing with my good friend Lipsmacked, I found the closest thing to the perfect vision of Nurse Shortcake.

Here she is, as Nurse Bella Swan; pretty, fresh, young, some would say All American…

Though Edward sees her something like this (or at least hopes to in the near future): his favorite Nurse Shortcake

What do you think?  Does she make a good Shortcake or what?

I’m in the writing mood.  I’ve been writing away in my notebook since this morning.  I know, *shocking* already?  This is good news though, right?  Right.

You Tell a Tale

Chapter 5 is up on ffnet. Here’s the linky:

In other news, I came across my TAITA Edward the other day, quite by accident.  I was watching something on USA, some promo for a new show, when I saw the actor.  My first thought was, mmmm Edward.  And since then, I’ve had him stuck in my head as Dr. Mcdouchey.  So may I present, Dr. Jackass Edward Cullen (aka Matthew Bomer)Now I’m on the search for a hottie piece of Strawberry Shortcake.  Any suggestions?
