When I first started thinking about the plot for Mistaken Love,
It was an amazing moment for me, because it was one of those things that was at the back of my mind for awhile.
Even when reading Twilight, there were moments where I had to put the book down and think
"What if....."
And I'd spend the rest of the day, playing out different events, and different outcomes in my mind, even continuing them in my dreams.
When nobody was paying attention I would talk out loud to myself, playing out each character, and imagining how they would say it.
But when reading New Moon, things just got worse.
I've always been big, on women not depending on men, so I assume that plays a part in why I felt like Bella was letting me down.
I wanted her to NOT need Edward, which is why I was Team Jacob for awhile, because he wanted her to have that freedom.
For awhile I would push this one plot down, into a drawer in the corners of my mind, and try writing something completely different.
It seemed to cause a problem, whenever I wrote, it seemed like there were multiple people writing.
I'd gotten SO many emails, and reviews, asking who I was Co-Authoring with, and many were shocked when I said it was just me.
At first I thought it was a good thing, until I went back and actually read my work?
It was terrible, there wasn't enough description in some parts, and too much in others.
In the middle of my stories, it seemed like I rushed to finish it, and solved everything in one chapter.
I was actually ashamed of it.
So I decided to just, take a month or two, and really figure out somethings for myself, and more about myself.
I expected to come back, with a different mindset, but I was completely surprised, when there was one plot, that just kept popping up.
So I began thinking, what if I wrote this plot?
To get it out my system, and just have fun with it.
I mean, I couldn't have gotten worse!
So I took that chance, and within the first day, I was already getting reviews.
My past stories, usually had 12 reviews in MONTHS, by the time I finished it.
I just posted the 5th chapter, and I've been working on it for about a week, and I already have 16.
It may not seem like a big deal to some people, but to me?
I feel like I just conquered the Volturi.
Some people think, I'm one of those writers, that write chapters ahead of time.
I really don't.
I go through my normal school day, and some things might give me ideas, and I might play it out in my mind, but I really don't know what's going to happen next until my fingers type it.
I never know the ending.
In fact, I actually looking to my reviews for idea's too, a way to give everyone that dose of Twilight, that they always wanted.
