It's Always Raining In My Head
Okay, so this is a post I've been sitting on for awhile now, and I finally feel comfortable enough to talk about. It's kind of a touchy subject to get into, and particularly gloomy, and I don't really expect comments or anything on the post. It's just me kind of getting stuff off my chest. To some of you it might kinda seem the typical "get better" crap that everyone spouts. But taking it from someone who has "been there", maybe you won't be so quick to judge. So anyway, here goes.
Scary things are happening...
So, I'm kind of freaking myself with all my productivity this week. O.o
Just today I submitted the next chapter of The Coffee Shop (chapter 8!) to Literotica. Expect that to be up in 2-3 days.
No, this chapter doesn't have any horizontal mambo but the Big Lebowski takes place in the final two/three chapters of TCS -- promise!! It also brings Jeremiah Vaughn into the picture (see the teaser here if you're lost), and changes the scenery from Maine to Los Angeles, CA, my home away from home!!! These next two chapters are about places that I've been to personally (and love!) and I'm so excited to take Peyton back into her home element. If you guys have any stories about your visits to California (the City of Angels in particular), I'd love to here/see them! You can comment here on my Blogger or send me an email through the link on my Blogger profile. My email is also available through my feedback on Lit, so you can send stuff to me there too.
So, my weird monologue aside, expect TCS #8 to be out soon,
-Lily
And P.S.: there is a scant possibility that I may have an Epilogue/Chapter Eleven for this series. I feel like things in Chapter Ten is being rushed a little too fast for my tastes. Obviously, I'll let people know via Twitter or here on my blog, and on my Lit profile as well. Until then, expect Chapter Ten as the grand finale. =)

Happy Halloween!!
Ok so I know it's not *technically* time to throw on your costume and go scaring the years off of people's lives just yet, but we're on the countdown!!
Anyway, I'm excited to report that my Halloween story has gone up! I had a minor misstep with posting the submission initially, which is why posting took a bit. The link is here:
The Modern Prometheus
Let me know what y'all think! And BTW, there are many other great Halloween submissions up by equally awesome authors, so check them out if you haven't already!!
Ciao my little monsters (and happy Sunday!),

Just in...
I just posted a Halloween short story to Literotica as of...2 hrs ago, I think, for the Halloween contest this year. It was mostly for my enjoyment, and since it involved H-Ween, I thought it'd be fun to submit it.
Anyway, the story is called "The Modern Prometheus", (a title I totally stole from the talented Mary Shelley) and revolves around a demon named Elijah, a witch named Brie, and their quirky human friend Des, and answers the question of what happens when you steal a demon's fire.
Eeek!! I'm kinda excited about this one, it leaves a lot of open questions and it has a real twist at the end. It's not scary and doesn't really involve bad costumes or parties, but it's a Halloween story nonetheless. I hope y'all like it!!!
On another note, I posted the teasers for both upcoming chapters of TCS and WLand. They're up on their respective blogs, just follow the links at the top of my blogger page and click on the tab titled "Teasers" and there you go! Any comments to be had can be sent by email or Twitter, and those links are on my profile/blog as well.
Wishing everyone well,
Lily

Wonderland is live!!
Wonderland Ch 12 just posted to Lit this morning! In case you haven't checked it out yet, here's the link: http://t.co/666hHrHQ
WLand 13 is currently being edited (by me) and I'll send it out to my editor this weekend. TCS will be submitted to Lit by then as well, so keep your eyes peeled for Caleb & Peyton!
But for now, focus your attention on Tempest, Talon, and that pesky Fuyher. *Especially* Talon. That kid has a few tricks up his "sleeve" yet! ;-)
Remember, I love hearing feedback from you guys, just as much as I love the votes. Comments are great tools for a writer as well, so don't be stingy leaving me any of those!
As always you guys are great and thank you so much for reading me!!
Xo, Lily

The Coffee Shop Ch 07 - Teaser
Hola, amigos!
I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything (on Twitter or otherwise), but I promise you, I'm still working hard on TCS and WLand, as well as a few other stories in the works. But mainly I've been focused with school and job-hunting, and unsurprisingly, not many hours of my day are left after pursuing both! Also, I'm kind of a victim of Sloth, so, I kept procrastinating editing and fixing up TCS Ch7 until, well, I ran out of excuses *not* to edit it.
Anyway, besides the long-winded series of excuses, I have something for everyone: a teaser!
Now, this version of TCS 7 is *un*edited, but I don't think much of it will change when it's posted on Lit, apart from grammar, punctuation, etc., etc.
Hope y'all enjoy!!
