Yes i know I said I wouldn't publish until it was all finished but I've found that impossible. So many good critics come through as you go along, so many invaluable to developing your work. I'm amazed how much I'm enjoying just sitting down and imersing myself in the world of writing. Not only within my fandom but as I go along my own orignal stories are able to take life again. I have so many plots that I have started but never finished, which is a shame really because some of them I worked on for years. The next part of Girl Talk is up now!

Life is rolling along. I remembered yesterday why I love hanging out with friends so much, even when I don't really feel like going out. After dinner, a few drinks and a very relaxed game of pool, everything is just slips into the casual flow of life.

I'm getting a new pony! Yes another one. Unfortunatly I will only be able to keep her for a few months, but I'm going to train her up a bit and give her some more confidence so she can go to a good home :) Oh her name is Angel. She is so adorable, but not as perfect as my baby. Yes, I'm already going through the kantra - "she has to be sold...she has to be sold..."

And now my dinner is ready. yeah! I'm so hungry.

Well things are moving!

The last three days have gone so quick! Whoa. Today was the most gorgeous sunny day so I went for a run with my pony:) She is so cute! I love her heaps, but she is going back to the big paddock soon for some more growing time. She's only about 20months old. Still a baby!

What do you think???

Ok so here is an excerpt of the next chapter of Girl Talk. The name is probably not going to stick, I have already changed it once! lol. I think I definately know where I'm going with the plot now :) hehe that was a contradiction in itself ;)

Also is anyone out there interested in being my beta reader??? Mine still hasn't gotten back to me on any of my work so I'm still putting up stuff without a second opinion on it and seeing as I never really like what I write (or the way I write) it's getting alittle stressful, but thanks to everyone who has so far given me some good feedback! Really appreciated.

Well here it is the beginning of the end. Yes, I know a little over dramatic. But hey a little drama in life spices it up a bit

Hope you enjoy!!!

– Yuki smiled evilly, “Keladry of Mindelan likes somebody!” She announced in Common.

“Who?” A surprised and awfully familiar voice asked from behind them. –

Chapter 3

Secrets

Whipping around heart thudding, ‘Damn, not empty then,’ Kel cursed under her breath. “I do have friends Sergeant,” she said bowing mockingly to Domitan of Masbolle, trying not to look him in the eye. “Don’t you want me to like them?”

“And I know very well that that is not what Lady Yukimi meant,” he laughed. “It is ok to be female sometimes you know, even guys have crushes.” Rolling his eyes he cried, “Your best friends with Neal for Mithros sake. You should know this!”

“But being female can be terribly frustrating,” Kel smirked at him, finally braving looking into his face. She really didn’t understand why he had to have such an affect on her. “You should know.”

“Are you saying I’m a girl?” He asked throwing his hand over his heart, giving a very good impersonation of Neal. “You wound me fair maiden in saying that I’m as delicate and beautiful as you!”

Laughing Kel carefully looked at him incredulously; this was beyond his usual dramatics in the presence of unknown royalty, especially female royalty. “Have you been stealing all the rice wine since last we met Domitan of Masbolle? You seem intoxicated.”

“So I’m not allowed to get as carried away as the rest?” he inquired.

“You are but you don’t in company such as this,” Kel pointed out amused.

Dom laughed, but was brought sharply back to reality with the reminder that there were two Yamani ladies presence. “Forgive me for my rudeness your highness, Lady Yukimi. It was not intended.” He said bowing to them.

“Think nothing of it Sergeant,” Shinko replied, nodding in acceptance.

“I am sorry for the interruption,” he continued. “Kel, Lord Raoul ask me to fetch you there is a bandit problem just outside the city. We’ve been called out.”

“Oh, he’ll love that. He’s been trying to sneak out all evening,” Kel smiled.

Dom chuckled. “If you would all allow me to escort you back? I believe that the evening is drawing to its final close anyway.” Nodding their acceptance Kel followed Dom back into the Crystal Room with Shinko and Yuki close behind exchanging looks at the pairs continued banter.

*****

Cleon watched as Kel entered the room with a man he hadn’t met, though he was guessing he was with the Own; seeing as Sir Raoul joined them as they left. He had snuck back in after bidding Inness goodnight, figuring a couple more hours wouldn’t kill him.

Nothing had ever prepared him for what he was facing. He hated hurting Kel and acting like a rotten old rusher but having no real experience in the matter, didn’t know what to do. Girls had always been a foreign area for him; though to the others his experience was profound and often found him for advice. Every court lady who glanced his way made him feel shy and unsure, which he hated of course. He was not one to like feeling vulnerable.

Thoughts and feelings always confused him with their jumbled manner. Nothing appeared the same; except for one thing and the only person he thought he could talk to was Kel. She wouldn’t judge him about it, having lived with the Yamanis long enough. Now though, he had ruined any chance of her trusting him. He didn’t know why he had acted that way. Knowing that Kel didn’t have any feelings for him might have been part of it; she wouldn’t have had any expectations of him the way other noblewomen would have.

Departing once again from the party Cleon left just as confused and unsure as when he had arrived.

Next!!!

New Chappie up!!! Just follow the link :) And yes I did change the name. Thought it might suit better. I think that it's going to be longer than I though. I now have some sort of plot idea instead of it being random! Still working on my favourite plot lines. They are to come at some point. Don't know when! :(

It is really cold in the Blue Mountains today. A sad change from yesterday, it was warm and sunny!!! I can't wait for summer and the beach!!! Grrr getting sick of the cold. Will hopefully update again soon :)

First Fanfic!!!!

Argh scary! The first is up!!! My beta reader hasn't gotten back to me on it so I'm not sure about how good it is. But I wanted to submit something so that I felt like it's really started. I haven't really written in a while so this story will probably turn out a little odd. This one is a twist on a scene that I'm writing in my main fic at the moment, so even to me it's a little weird. lol. Hope you enjoy tell me how you like it! Please, need feed back badly so that I can at least know if my writing is ok :)

Summary: Kel, Yuki and Shinko get bored at a party and leave to have a little girl talk. What secrets of the past will be revealed? Sorry really bad at summaries, hope inside is better. First fic so here's hoping that you like it!

Hey Hey Hey!!!

Well here I am in the cyber world of LJ!!! Yeah! So hooked! lol.

A little about myself may be required I realise, so ... I am obsessed with horses (I am older than you think!), I own my own gorgeous pony called Kairi; I go to Sydney University (not sure I really like the whole city thing); LOVE reading and writing, especially fantasy. My favourite authur for the past 5 years is Tamora Pierce, but I also enjoy Robin Hobb, Fiona McIntosh and Trudi Canavan.

I enjoy the dramatic side of life, but only on occaision to much drama is bad for the soul. Give me the serene anytime of day, whether it be reading a good book, enjoying the bush or simply watching the horses in the paddock. I love painting for this reason to, especially using watercolours or pastels. Oil paints just annoy me. I like taking my time.

I am just starting out writing Fanfiction! For Tamora Pierce of course!!! I might expand my horizons later, but for now I have so many plots for all her books that I'm going to stick with her till I need new inspiration.

So hey hey hey to the world (corny I know) :)
