With the blog’s anniversary right around the corner, I thought it might be nice to welcome my new followers with a quick recap of the past ten years. After all, they’ve missed quite a lot. 😀 1.

One Short Day
If I could spend one day with any fictional character . . . As I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, I noticed I wasn’t alone and I definitely wasn’t in my small, sparse bedroom. Too much sun filtered in through the towering windows and there was a thick grove of sage-green trees outside them….
Dreaming of You
Dreams are amazing, aren’t they? After a long day, all we have to do is put our head on our pillow, close our eyes, and then this incredibly weird and wonderful film plays in our head. Sure, sometimes dreams can be rather dull or leave you anxious, but those times are few and far between….
The Decline of FanFiction
I was in high school when I first learned about fanfiction. My friend had showed me a six page story she’d written about *NSYNC and tried to explain the concept of writing original stories about celebrities and fictional characters to me. I honestly didn’t get it. Why write about well-known faces when you could create…
It’s Twilight Again
A Conversation With Myself An Inside Look Into the Mind of Kim the FanGirl Logical Me: So, we just finished The Chemist. What shall we read next? FanGirl Me: Well, we have a few books to choose from. Logical Me: Yes. Yes, we do. FanGirl Me: We’ve been wanting to read them for quite…
BLOGAVERSARY 3.0!!!
Three years. Three years of obsessions, pop culture addictions, and enough lengthy librettos about English songstress’ and fictional characters to launch the expression “fangirl” onto an entirely different level. What can I say, other than, thank you. Thank you all for your support and your friendship, for coming back again and again, encouraging me and…
Dreaming With the Television On
He waited until the opportune moment to step out of the bright blue box, cautiously examining the surrounding thingamabobs and thingamajigs, before extracting the sonic screwdriver from his top left pocket. The mechanism was his favorite little watchamacallit and proved to be the most reliable. At least, most of the time. Curiously, it seemed to…
A Much Needed Push: Chapter 1
I’ve posted Chapter 1 of A Much Needed Push in The Writer’s Room. You’ll find it under ‘FanFiction.’ Teaser     Upon my arrival to the diner, my eyes always frantically search for her, for my Bella. It seems like ages until she spots me at my usual table, though it could hardly be more than…
The Writer’s Room
“You must keep sending work out. You must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you’re working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success – but only if you persist.” -Isaac Asimov…
Random Rambling: Black Friday, Breaking Dawn, and The Host
Three Rants for the Price of One Black Friday Black Friday will be here next week. I’m guessing you already knew this, of course. But for you unfortunate fangirls overseas, this is the time of year – the day after our Thanksgiving – when Americans get up at ungodly hours of the morning, and freeze…
FanGirl Addiction: Twilight
“That was the first night I dreamed of Edward Cullen.” It’s been almost four years since I fell in love with this vampire-romance novel and its subsequent sequels. Over the years, my obsession has gone from excessive to fanatical, casual to calm, but never waning. There was a time when you could find me on…
