Since we're on the subject...

Since we're on the subject of loving our readers today, I thought it would be a good idea to show mine some love as well! Now, I have only been writing Fan Fic for about...8 months or so, but in that time I have found some of the most loyal, most lovable people in the world!

We'll start with Bec.
She is definately my muse. She is always there to help me out of a block, and help me mash out somethingworth reading. Bec is an author in her own right, and is one of the best young writers I have ever seen!
Her stories are well thought out, and they just get better and better.
She has been with me from day one, and I am so thankful for her encouragement, and her support.

Next, there's Kas.
Kas is the reason I started writing Fan Fic, and the reason I love Draco Malfoy :) Reading her work is always exciting. Even when I re-read her work, I am amazed. She is a wonderful writer, and a huge support for me. Her current story has me on the edge of my seat and wanting more.
I don't know what it is about her version of Draco, but I am hooked.
Kas is becoming a muse for me as well, and I am thankful for her help.

We'll do Kerry next.
KJ is another of my readers who writes and I love her work. She can do comedy, (Her PPP version of Deathly Hallows is amazingly hillarious...) and she can do romance. In her long term fic, she has kindly added us, her readers into the story. She has taken a minor character (Seamus Finnegan) and turned him into a completely real, fleshed out character who is so easy to love.
Kerry has been there from the beginning too, always willing to give her oppinion and her feedback.

Siobhan...
Ah, Siobhan. I actually met her in a completely different forum (The thinking thread) and we just clicked. I havent read any of her work, but I have no doubt that what she does is amazing. She has a wondeful imagination, and when trying to figure out the problems in my Fic, she comes up with completely different story lines that blow me away!

Then theres Kimmy!
Kim started reading my fics on a whim, and I am so glad she did. She keeps me thoroughly entertained, on HPANA and on Facebook. She has just started a Fic with her dear Husband, and I am so glad she stalked me for it. It is gripping and I cant get enough.
She poses the question of What If? and they are doing a stupendous job of telling us the answers! Cheers Kim!

Last but not least...
There is Stefanie. Stefanie is more of the silent reader type, but when she gives input, it is well worth it. She is insightful, and doesnt miss a thing!

Thats it for my faithful readers. I love you all!

What Better Day Than Earth Day?

Today is Earth Day! And on top of that, it's the 40th anniversary of Earth day. I know I have been MIA for a few months in the blogging world, and I am sorry. But today I have a great bit of rambling senselessness for you!

One of my good writer friends has just gotten 'The Call'...okay maybe not THE call, but she is inching her way towards publication, more than I can say for myself! So today's blog will be dedicated to the very lovable and hillarious Hart Johnson.

The other reason I have decided to dedicate my blog to Hart today is because it is Earth day. What better way to spend it than going Au Natural? Thats right. I want EVERYONE to get naked. Right now. Come on. Hart is taking over the world, one nudist at a time.

I came to the conclusion at about 4 am that Earth Day is the perfect day for Hart. She is the ultimate nudist, and I admire her nakedness. Yep. I do! So, in honor of Mother Earth and Hart, I am going naked today. :)

Not only do I admire her for her Nakedness, I admire her as a writer. She has to be one of the best I have read. She has this habit of making me want to laugh and cry at the same time when I read her work. That was a first for me when I began reading it. She takes characters that I know and love and puts an ultra crazy spin on them...and she makes it work!

Now, I have not had the opportunity to read her 'cozy' novel that she is working on, but I am sure I will love it, and I have no doubt whatsoever that she will be hitting the shelves of our bookstores VERY soon.

She has also been a constant in the group of people encouraging me to write. When I first decided to join other people in the quest to write a novel in 30 days during NanoWriMo, She was there encouraging me all the way. I have a firm belief that without her convincing me, I would have never believed I could do it.

So today is my day to say Thank You. Thank You to Hart, and also to all the people who make me want to write, and encourage me to do so. You are a great group of people, and I dont know what I what I would do without you all!
