Howdy from Texas! 

I'm rather fond of grammar and spelling and words in general & I'd make a living writing if I could.

I've been writing for my own entertainment since high school (a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.) Been working on a series for a long time but haven't given enough effort to finding an agent.    I'm getting better at short stories; writing the one-shots helped. I've also discovered that I can't edit myself too much or I just keep changing things & not always for the better. I have to work on letting things be; sometimes the way the words flow right at the start works so much better than any conscious editing.

Just discovered "Castle". Love Nathan Fillion; you gotta watch "Dr. Horrible" if you haven't yet.  Also like "Chuck" & "24". When I have the time, I read a lot of SciFi/Fantasy with a few mystery/thrillers thrown in.  Jim Butcher, Laurell K. Hamilton, CJ Cherryh, Jonathan Kellerman, Sue Grafton, Janet Evanovich, Weiss & Hickman, Robert Jordan, Melanie Rawn.  Several dozen others.

I'm on MySpace & Twitter (for some reason) as Renate651, but this is the only place I've posted a story.

Amen To That! by TozaBoma Rated: T starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 41]
Summary:

banner

“It’s the best thing ever! Like, ever!” Becky wibbled down the phone. “You know you said you wanted a way to get more of your books sold cos you needed the money?”

“Oh no,” Chuck groaned. “What have you done now?”

"I set up a meeting between you and the execs over at Fox. They want to make a TV series of your books!”

 

Takes place between 5x09 and 5x10. No spoilers for anything after 5x09.

Cookies for spotting any other TV or SPN references.

Rated T for language, F for farce and O for oh no you didn’t.

Heehee! Noticed the jab & thought it was great! My daughter, who's a Twilight fan, can't stand the real Mr. Pattinson.  She prefers Jacob. I could care less.

OK, so will the real Sam & Dean get hired to play themselves? LOL



Author's Response: You'd like to think so, wouldn't you....? Anyway, thanks for reading! Hope the next part is as good. :)

I knew Katie's name was familiar but I couldn't place it! *smacks forehead* duh!

Another great job!



Author's Response:

Whoa, you're so busy and you still have time to read this, and leave a review! I'm amazed at your stamina... Or is it just 4am feeding duty and you can't get back to sleep? :)

Anyway, cheers for your time, effort - and patience! I'm betting there's not a lot of that in your house right now! Thanks very much - always appreciated. :)

 
Summary:

What if Dean was so weary, felt so empty and so alone he just has to walk away for a while?

Some thoughts following My Bloody Valentine, one shot tag for 5:14 so spoiler alert.

NB there is swearing - this is Dean, ladies.

Good grief - I thought OBX was up in its entirety over here.  I'll add the chapters today.  You can read the whole thing over on ff.net.  So sorry to keep you waiting!

Sam and Dean and a werewolf. Simple? Not when Dean has internal struggles that, if he wins, will be the last loss he will ever face. And then there’s Sam, having to play Dean through no fault of his own. Or is it?

No season five spoilers that I'm aware of.

Rated T for the odd word, some suggestive suggestions of suggestiveness and some messy fights.

For my sister. Cos she ‘gets’ me.

Difference by mymuseandi Rated: T starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 4]
Summary: The evening light across the blinds is crawling low across the room when he feels rather than hears him approaching, a heavy pressure in the air that seems to thicken with every second. A shadow falls on Dean, and he slouches deeper into the rackety chair and wishes the ground will just open up and swallow him whole.

Now I"m curious to learn how Jess reacts to being inducted into the WInchester life.  Have you thought about it?

Hi Kristen

Thank you for reading! Jess being inducted into the Winchester life is something that I've been thinking of for a while. But I'm not sure I can have the writing chops to pull it off. LOL

Sam and Dean get mixed up in something rather old and waxy that doesn’t concern them. Don’t you hate it when that happens?
Set during happier times. No spoilers for s4, 5, 6 or 7.

I'm glad they're showing more of Sam's breakdown, I always thought Dean should have gone through more too bu I guess he deals with it by not acknowledging it or getting drunk.

I almost thought Sam was going to shoot Dean in that episode! Now I think he might become a cutter, using the pain of hurting himself to anchor himself in reality.



Author's Response:

Poor Sam, I'm hoping that he can find a balance somewhere in there before he has to carry it too far! I wish we knew a little more about Dean's hell as well, but maybe this year we will. Thank you so much for reading and writing.
