The Red Closet

4 min read
The Red Closet, a book I wrote during NaNo WriMo and have now published through CreateSpace! I can't be more excited about this and OMG, it's a book, it's mine and it's published! Granted, I'll make no to little money off of it, but hey, that's not the reason why I decided to get it published. Because the mere fact the book is there, my book with my name on it with a cover and ready to be bought in paperback, is so amazing! :heart:

So, since it is around, here's some information about it for everyone!

Novel summary:
In 2004, twenty-four year old Mirtha Turner disappeared. DI Russell Devries and his team did everything they could to find her, but to no avail. The longer it took to find Mirtha, the more guilt-ridden Russell felt and when the search was eventually called off, he was devastated by his failure.

Seven years later, Caleigh McFann is leading an average life. She's your typical independent woman with an apartment of her own, a boyfriend who wants her to move in with him and a good, fun job. But when the new delivery guy comes by one day with a package she has to sign for, her life will never be the same again.

So, I know I already have a beta and she's awesome and gives me great feedback.

BUT... I've just written my first Inception one-shot and while my beta is great, she hasn't seen Inception and thus can't give me the feedback I want. Since it's the first time I've written for this fandom, I'm a bit nervous about the fic, the story and the characterization.

So I'm asking now if there's someone willing to read/beta this one-shot for me, mainly on the characterization part of things.
The one-shot is about 3.700 words and the pairing is Arthur/Eames.

Let me know if you're interested!

For those waiting for an update...
Here is an apology to you all. Well, apology... it's more an explanation why I'll be slow with updating until the end of June.

As some of you may know (and others may not) I'm in my last year of my Bachelor at the moment. So right now I'm working very hard with my graduation-partner to get our thesis finished in time (the end of May) and then make a presentation to have a "conversation" (read: torture) with a few teachers about how the thesis came to be. When I pass all of that, success! I will have passed and get my Bachelor degree! *exciting*

But that does mean that we're working very hard at the company we're doing our research for and every day I come home my mind is so tired I'm like a goldfish swimming circles in a fishbowl. I can't concentrate and I don't even GET to writing, even if I really want to.

So... please be patient with me and know this will only last until the end of June!

:love:

100 Themes!

5 min read
Well, since I'm working on 3 multi-chapters (of which 1 isn't online yet) and need to edit (re-write is more like it) my NaNo WriMo story before June (free copies, yay!) AND are going to start my graduation research/thesis next Monday I decided I wasn't busy. Not at all. XD

So, in an attempt to keep myself from getting bored (as if...) I decided to go and do the 100-themes-challenge! The idea I had for this was that I'll be featuring all the themes around a plot-idea I have and that when I'm done I have a fic consisting out of 100 little chapters. I expect chapters to be 1 to 2 pages (maximum!) and I hope you're all going to enjoy it! :love:
