I lo...Helllllll yeeeesssssssssss to this Blog Post! I love this story, and agree with every point you make about it! I can't wait to see where Ireen goes with this her characters! This last chapter just about killed me, but the writing is so good that I plan to stick it, despite the heart fail I feel currently. I'm in love with her Bella, especially after this last update! It's an amazing story!

Glad that someone else was able to see the pure talent that went into this story. I don't know Wannabe Charlotte, yet I am confident that she is a strong, capable woman, and that given the write venue for her work, she could definitely be a published author. Her writing left me yearning for more from each of her highly developed characters. FanFic is not my typical choice for reading, yet upon finding her story, I realized that there are serious, unpublished authors on the fringes of the literary world.<br />I am happy I found this story.

None of my co workers have seen me without my meds and I still get the nickname OC-tripleD....... My fave list is finally under 600 and I go on fic hunts: I open the mobile and desktop version on my phone searching interesting phrases all while playing a game of solitaire in another window. I rarely watch tv anymore or read real books. (Meaning, STore bought ) and I sleep with an extension cord under my pillow so I can keep my phone charged for my late night reading. Yeah, fanfiction has totally changed my life.

I'm reading so many that I get in a reviewing rut and then I know I suck as a reader. I don't like that. I wish someone would pay me to just sit and read fan fic.

My husband pretty much wanted to disown me for the amount of times I read the twi books and now everytime he sees me on a computer or phone or reading its all 'what about me' - jesus man give me a break!!! I love him and my kids more than life but hell this is something that makes ME happy and is my escape to alternate reality, I continually say this to him when he has just come back from drinking with the boys, cricket every week and fishing at least once a week, do I ever complain about those things!!! NO I do not, as I say to him, you have that I have reading of FF and Rob!!! They feel like neglected little boys but I need to have some me time and thats how I choose to spend it just cause he doesn't agree doesn't mean I should change!! Granted if he ever looked on my phone he would have a heart attack at the amount of pics of rob!!!! but meh sue me!!!!! <br />I feel for you and although don't know you, you have my sympathies with needy husbands!!!

Now i'm so into twitter,face book,fandom etc and give him less attention he misses me. Think that's probably how most husbands feel. However it's a very sad fact that the high divorce rate is among long term married couples,i suppose we grow into different people and don't notice it as we're all to busy just living and working. I'm certainly not the same as i was when i married at 20 as i am now,my mind is in a much more selfish place i'm ashamed to say. We only get one life though,we don't get a second shot so really do have to make the most of it and above all be happy. Thank goodness we're all pretty much like minded and know where everyone is coming from and how we're all feeling. Yah for us.

If it wasn't for the little award being passed around, I wouldn't even have known you had a blog.<br /><br />I am the last one to give you advice. I can so relate to your comment about having nothing in common except for the beautiful children you created together.<br /><br />I think we are all here to some extent because there is something missing from our lives...something we've found with each other. We just "get" each other, and we don't judge. I have made friendships as a result of this journey that will last a lifetime.<br /><br />I used to say my RL friends and my Bloggy friends.

After our tweets this evening I thought it...Micki,<br /><br />After our tweets this evening I thought it was time I caught up on blogs.<br /><br />This post, and the wonderful comments, really speaks volumes to me. I am 31, live alone, and am single. Some say I am fortunate to only have myself to focus on, sometimes I disagree.<br /><br />I have never been in a long term relationship and I am, for the first time, seeing a therapist on a weekly basis to help me with lots of my issues - namely fear, vulnerability and shyness. Which many people would find surprising, given I'm relatively extroverted.<br /><br />Ever since I first 'met' you guys, you really have helped me to open up. Deciding to travel halfway around the world to meet some of you is exciting. It does not scare me (yet). But still I was fearful to share this with many of my RL people. I thought they would judge me. And some of them have, but too bad. It's my life.<br /><br />But - the one thing I am scared of, in relation to the time I spend with you all, is that I could quite easily never get out there. Never meet someone special. Never really find that one true love. <br /><br />I have tears as I write this because I feel I can speak relatively easily of these matters to you guys, and I want to hug you all more than you know.<br /><br />I know I need more balance, so I am trying to find it. I have registered for online dating and I am scared as hell. But I will persevere. I will remember that fan fiction is FICTION and that the first date I go on is unlikely to be my 'Edward'. And mostly, I will be happy in my life.<br /><br />There is a Maori saying here in NZ - Kia Kaha. It means stand strong. That is my goal, and I reach out to you Micki - Kia Kaha xxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896978567315733497.post-79679761392874744602011-03-03T18:46:06.681-06:002011-03-03T18:46:06.681-06:00I have started and erased three things now.

It is not fair to you, the spouse or the children, if there are any. <br /><br />As I stated at Trixie and Tess - If a book hurts marriage there is more wrong than the book.<br /><br />I hope this all works out for you and you can be happy and true to yourself.Dangrdafnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940599664505953044noreply@blogger.com
