    Week Three: DIY Spray Paint Art (Sticker Version) {all photos linked to source}   The Pin: Again linking to my own since I can't find the original pinner.

Lately I've been trying to come up with ideas for new things to write about here.  I do a lot of author interviews and book reviews; I like talking about personal issues when they come up; and every so often I'll share a poem or short story of mine.   But I want to try something new.  I want to write something that you, my lovely readers, want to read .   So please do share what you'd like to see here! Do you have any questions for me ? Any guest posters or author interviews you'd love to see featured? I have the new book discussion guide section on my book reviews page, but there's only one discussion guide currently available.  Any others you'd like me to write? How about products, movies, books, or services to review ? The comments are open for discussion!

Hello there, lovely readers!  Just wanted to drop in early today and tell y'all that Sarah from Inklined has received no entries for the teen writing contest (what?!), so the deadline's extended through October 4.  So pull out your stories, blow off the dust, and send in a little something!

Recently I posted a miniseries of an Ever After movie fanfiction I'd written.  It was followed by requests for more fanfictions, which I actually don't usually write.  Only about a year ago, I was most firmly opposed to fanfiction in general as a terrible waste of time and usually awful quality of writing.  That's beside the point, though, and since I've discovered the true drive behind writers of fanfiction - the pure fun of it, which I tend to lose sight of in all my writing - I've written three.  Here is my second, a much shorter work based off my favorite Taylor Swift music video. You duck under the branch, careful not to let the oil spill from the lantern. Holding it a safe distance from your hair and dress, you continue your quiet path to the cherub statue. He reaches it just before you do. When he sees you, he smiles and you feel like your corset tightens on its own. He looks so wonderful, standing by the lilacs with his black tailcoat unbuttoned and ...
