Things you probably don't know...and I don't know why I'm telling you... #2

Well hello there! I'm still alive! You probably noticed that I have been reviewing many stories. It's to thank all of you for reviewing mine. There are a few stories that really captured my attention. (In no particular order)

• Summer of Sage
• Take Two
• Devil Take It All REWRITE
• Say No More, I Know I'm Gorgeous

I'm not one for picking favorites but...really these were awesome to go through. The rest of the stories were great to read. These are just some that I really connected with. If I put all of them down...it would be along list!

So here's another ten things that are actually real in the stories that I write. Why am I doing it...well out of boredom and because...I can keep track of this...and I like lists! This time I will include NGOTG, SWFF, ATWCB.

1. Natalia's father graduated from the University of Western Ontario...in reality my father graduated from there with his Ph.D.
2. Natalia's dream is to go to Western...that was my dream...until I fell in love with York University.
3. Hannah's high school year...lets just say if you know me...you would know...
   
4. Fallon takes a course called Intro to Polymer Chem...my father taught the course...I marked a test once and it was definitions and telechelic polymers was one...and the way Fallon defines it is how I remember it...lol
5. The asthma attack is based on my brother...the poor kid had us running for a hospital so many times...it was scary...
6. Rejection is a feeling I know too well...let's leave it at that...
7. Nicholas from NGOTG did actually leave...based on a real friend...he came back and then left for good...which actually followed my script for class...that was freaky...
8. When Natalia got locked in Dallas's car...well that is actually based on truth...not the kiss part but getting locked...you see I went to the US during my gr.9 summer and what happened was that the family I was staying with had two adult sons...and one night one of tem asked me to come pick up pizza...little did I know that my door handle was broken from the inside...so he left laughing at me...and I was stuck in the car with no way out...so embaressing...
9. Hannah and Stefan are bystanders in a fight. That is real. I got socked in the jaw just becuase I was standing in the wrong place at the wrong time...my friend tried to cover us both...didn't work out so well...lol!
10. Hannah goes to the Skills Canada competitions...yea that's true...I went two years for virtual robotics along with my friend and partner...I would sometimes sleep on the ride there...hehehe!

So now you know...maybe I'll post why I wrote these stories in the first place...that should be fun...

Anyways thanks for the reviews!
Much love,

Titles...and where they are from!

Hello all! Well I guess I'm going to be posting more often...since I can't write...and I just finished my readings! So yea...need something to take my mind off of doing the questions and all things chemistry!

So I'm going to tell you where the titles for each of the chapters (so far...) have come from!

Chapter 1: The Great Disappointment - Based on 'The Great One' aka Wayne Gretzky...

Chapter 2: Trips & Rugs, Kiss & Run - That was my own...it was catchy...and interesting!

Chapter 3: Not Completely Untouchable - Untouchable by Girls Aloud...obviously!

Chapter 4: The Goodbye Kiss - Dallas's condition for letting Natalia out of the car.

Chapter 5: MidWinter Night's Dream - 'Mid-Summer Night's Dream' was basis for it...

Chapter 6: Raine Day Parade - 'May Day' Parade...but also the story with Raine.

Chapter 7: Love Is Pain... - 'Love Is Pain' By Girls Aloud.

Chapter 8: ...Humiliation Is Worse - Natalia having to face Raine after it all.

Chapter 9: Snow Flakes - The snowfall in the chapter gave me the idea for it.

Chapter 10: Mollie Who? - Based on 'Samantha Who?'...never watched the show but I thought the title was interesting!

Chapter 11: Denial - Based on Natalia denying her feelings.

Chapter 12: The Return - Based on Dallas returning to soccer!

Chapter 13: Changes - Based on the song 'Changes' by the Sugababes.

Chapter 14: The Boy Does Something - Playon with 'The Boy Does Nothing' By Alesha Dixon.

Chapter 15: A Toast To Friendship? - Based on the events in the chapter between Marissa and Natalia.

Chapter 16: The Decision - Comes from the long wait for the final verdict...Dallas!

Chapter 17: Tongue Tied - Based on the song 'Tongue Tied' by Faber Drive.

Chapter 18: Something Kinda Screwed - Based on the song 'Something Kinda Oooh' by Girls Aloud. Plus it kinda gives an idea of what is going to happen in the chapter.

Chapter 19: Issues - Shows the theme of the chapter and based on the song 'Issues' by The Saturdays.

Chapter 20: Memory Of You - Gives an idea of what to expect in the chapter and is based on 'Memory Of You' by Girls Aloud.

Chapter 21: Now Or Never - I didn't have any idea of what to call the chapter so I picked a song...'Now or Never' by Josh Groban. Great song and doen't give too much away about the chapter.

Chapter 22: This Heart Is Missing You... - A lyric from 'Everybody In Love' by JLS...more of a feeling of what goes on in the chapter.

Chapter 23: Big Brother's Watching - 'Big Brother' by Girls Aloud...and its to reiterate that we aren't always alone and the whole concept that 'Big Brother' is watching.

Chapter 24: Till The Light Fades - 'Till The Pages Fade' by Lauren Christoff...awesome song...but also something that happens in the chapter...all the while not giving very much away.

So yea...hope you all enjoyed this post and enjoy the story...you can tell how bored I am at this point...I dont want to work...but I have to!

Gotta go,

Much love,

Things you probably don't know...and I don't know why I'm telling you...

Okay so maybe a few of you have picked up some similarities...and if you actually know me...you probably know exactly what is what...or in other words what parts of ATWCB and SWFF are actually based on reality and what are not...as you can tell I'm a bit bored to be admitting these things...so I'll give you a list of ten things that are actually true...hope you enjoy!

1. I like Fallon...am a chemistry major...can't say I'm as smart as her...but I'm on top of my game when I study properly.
2. The top 20 things that Popjustice prints on Fallon in ATWCB...are true...except for having a car and having a library (I wish!)...Yes I am proud to be Canadian...in fact I still live here...oh and I've never been to England...
3. I'm a huge Girls Aloud fan...in fact a lot of the songs used in both stories are usually theirs...you've probably noticed the chapter titles by now...
4. My father does own a laboratory...I spend weekends, summers, any time I have extra working there...
5. I am a runner...meaning I do run from problems...feelings...the like (Like Fallon and Natalia)
6. I do not have an older brother...in fact like Fallon I am the oldest with three siblings...
7. Natalia is more a mix of my friend...the study in high school to an extreme is not fully like me...but more like my friend...Fallon would be kind of closer to my personality...
   
8. I do love cars and tech...I seriously hate honda...I love mercedes...
9. I love reading the newspaper...Natalia is sometimes found doing this...but me...it's an addiction...
10. I was born in London, Onatario...like both Fallon and Natalia...and yes Story Book Gardens does exist...I have loads of pictures from my childhood in that place!

So yea now you all know...

Anyway, next chapter will be up during the weekend...I won't be wrtiting anything new until next weekend...I have finished up to chapter 40...and then I made an outline over the last few days for the chapters...I think right now the story will proabably have 50-51 chapters...I have fixed my problems with the ending...everything is set and I like how everything ends...hopefully when you get there you will too!

Much Love,
Andene

Me Again...

You would think that when I say I'll be taking a break...I would actually do it...nope...I just finished outlining chapters 41-43...

So anyway hope you all liked the story so far...I'll probably be posting around Saturday or Sunday...so you'll get your next chapter then...

Anyway I will try and study now...I hope...

Much Love,
Andene

Something Worth Fighting For: Updates!

Hello!

Well as promised I updated all week! Yes...all week long...now you all have up to chapter 22 to read...(and hopefully review!)

I worked like a maniac since Thursday and Friday...all the way up to today...I have written up to chapter 40. Chapter 40 does need a bit of tweaking but it's pretty much the way I want it.

Writing has tired me out...so now I'll be able to study without story lines running freely through my mind...believe me when I say my eyes are burning...I've been writing sitting at the computer for I have no idea how long...

Yea...I think I'll get a much anticipated break...since I have the next few chapters I will be posting on weekends ready...

Yup...that will definitely save me from getting in to trouble...I think my parents suspect me of being up to something...it's probably because I don't let anyone read my stuff...so yea...

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend...I know it's Sunday. I promise to post the next chapter on Saturday...so yea...

Take care!
Much Love,
Andene

Loads of Updates!

Hello!

As promised, all this week I will be updating. One chapter every day...only this week...so up to Sunday...maybe! I think you guys will be able to read up to Chapter Twenty One or Twenty Two. I'm not sure where I want to leave off just yet...I'll think about it...

Anyway, I haven't written chapter 32 yet. It's been hard to write. I have to study and so I don't come home until about 10 or 11pm...then I read over what I'm going to be posting and fix it up...and then I go to sleep...so yea...I don't bring my work with me to the University...simply becuase I know I won't study if I have another option...plus I don't like people reading what I'm writing...

I don't know how many chapters this story will have...it's been touch and go...I didn't plan chapter by chapter like I did for 'All That We Could Be'...I just wrote a storyline, which I've been following and adding to. So hopefully I'll finish the story in a month or so...I'm hoping to be finished before the end of the year.

So yea...I checked how many hits this story has gotten so far...over 1000! So yea...I'd like if there were more reviews...but I guess it's a give and take thing...

Anyways please read and review both 'All That We Could Be' and 'Something Worth Fighting For'...it would mean a lot to me.

Much Love,
Andene

Hi ya!

Hello there!

Well as most of you know, I have posted up to chapter sixteen. As promised I will be posting one chapter every day of this week...its a treat since I have reading week this week...and because I have written up to chapter 31...so might as well let you all catch up a little...

Anyway I hope you're enjoying the story so far. I believe this is longer than All That We Could Be...which is funny since that was my baby...my first story that I managed to get through. I will always be proud of that. :) I must admit that I haven't re-read it lately...I've been busy...it makes me feel guilty...

Anyway 'Something Worth Fighting For' has been going well. I'm not tired of writing yet. Sometimes I don't feel like writing but that's okay...as long as I'm not bored of the story I am happy!

I found myself writing pages and pages of additional storyline events last week...yea and I was supposed to be studying for my math quiz. Now you all know why I am horrid at math...simply because I let my mind wander...

Also I think I have a very clearly defined view on love...I was arguing about Bella loving both Edward and Jacob...with one of my friends...if you want to know more about that...maybe I'll tell you all later!

Anyway hope you enjoy reading the story, and remember to read and review!

Much Love,
Andene
