Why does it take fifty years for a story to be accepted or denied? I swear I submitted a story yesterday! In the morning! It's still pending! What the hell?

Scave.

Scared+Brave.

Don't ask why.

Did the fight in chapter 6 cross the line? I feel I really skewed reader expectation with that fight, in a negative way...

If I am changing it to teen, the way it's present isn't going to change moving forward, or retroactively. No blood, swears, or porking.

With the first act coming to an end soon, I'm going to update the story's blurb to better express what the story's about, and I was wondering if I should tweak the tags while I was at it, thus the blog.

Okay, so I was browsing around my stories and I noticed something in the groups on my stories they have been added to. Apparently, some of my stories ended up on "Goodreads" and I have no idea how that even happen. Is this just something that happens or did someone go in an add them?

As Bella drifts away, she hears the sounds of a fight. Then she concludes she’s dead, because she hears the voice of an angel. Guess who the “angel” is. You never thought you were dead before when you heard his voice, why start now? And, seriously, even when it’s obvious it’s Edward, she keeps referring to him as “the angel” for pages. It might’ve been to convey her state of shock, but it didn’t do a very good job. Anyway, Edward, Carlisle, and Alice work together to try to stem Bella’s

Not only that, but to say Big Mac has a crush on Sugar Belle, the bootleg fourth-rate Pinkie Pie knockoff from Glimmertown? The pony he has no way of meeting, no way of knowing about, no reason to love, and no reason to like?

If it means this book is finally over, yes it’s happy.

Hi.

So as of yesterday, Playboy magazine made quite possibly one of the most controversial announcements of all time: They are going to stop showing nudes.

Plenty of people probably aren't feeling very patriotic today. I know I'm not. Between the atrocities at the border, the attacks on women's and lgbt rights, and the threats to the press and rule of law? It's easy to feel the country is in a downward spiral, if it was ever that great at all.

Bella turns into a vampire and it hurts.

And that’s literally the whole chapter.

I am not fucking kidding.

We go back to Bella’s perspective right as she vomits blood. We get a brief recap of what she saw from the last chapter, only with a lot of descriptions of pain. Bella manages to cling to consciousness long enough to see (blalgh) Renesmee before blacking out.

Edward and Carlisle are unable to find Irina, so they let the matter drop. Days go by with nothing bad happening, so the Cullens decide to go about business as usual. But one day, while arranging some vases, Alice gets a vision so shocking that she drops one: the Volturi are coming for the Cullens. All of them. They’ll be arriving in about a month. Because there’s so many of them, it can’t just be to check up on Bella’s current life/undeath status; it’s about Nessie. When Irina saw Nessie

Too-much-bullshit alert.

Jacob, Leah, and Seth run another patrol around the Cullen house, and I feel like I’ve said something along those lines twenty times in the past eight chapters. Leah awkwardly thanks Jacob for putting up with her and promises to try to not get on his nerves. They do nothing of consequence for nine pages and this book is so padded a La-Z-Boy factory would find it excessive. Eventually, Leah speaks up again:

Welp, the latest episode blurb got my attention. Arguably one of the legit best characters of the show getting a boyfriend? Thought I'd make it a casual viewing, but its contents more or less validated the title of this post. Admittedly, yes, Mud Briar is something of a tit with how he talks, but as Starlight of all people pointed out, he's just as awkward and weird as Maud is and is a dang good match personality-wise. But here's Pinkie who, having spent a lot of time ramming the appeal

Do you ever have one of those weird bursts of energy where you write, like, a whole 5,000 word chapter in a day, and the next morning you wake up and you're struggling to write "Once upon a time"?

To explain Carlisle and his past to Bella more, Edward takes her into Carlisle’s room, to show her some pictures of the time period. Carlisle himself is still there, reading, and the only reason he doesn’t tell the story himself is because he’s running late. To his job as a doctor. Where he saves people’s lives. BECAUSE HE WAS READING.

As Bella and Edward head back to her house, Edward promptly gives us another reason to hate his guts while listening to the radio:

“You like fifties music?” I asked.

“Music in the fifties was good. Much better than the sixties, or the seventies, ugh!” He shuddered.

So…

…these…

As the weather turns drizzly, Bella and Edward go back to Bella’s house, only to find Jacob and Billy waiting there. Edward reads Billy’s mind and learns that he’s there to warn Charlie about Bella and Edward being together. See, Bella? You should’ve told him earlier. Edward leaves before the Blacks can see him. When Bella enters her house, Billy’s supposedly there to deliver Charlie some fish fry, but he quickly shoos Jacob back to their car under the pretense of looking for a picture so he

The epilogue begins some time after the previous chapter; Bella’s up and about, but her leg hasn’t quite fully healed yet. She’s in a nice dress (dressed and made up by Alice), and Edward’s in a tuxedo, and he’s driving her somewhere, and she doesn’t know where. When she realizes he’s taking her to the prom, she has a hissy fit and actually starts crying before Edward tells her to humor him. Bella still sulks, though:
