So I know my twitter isn't a website wonder, (because that would be egotistical of me), but I thought I'd give everyone my link today. I tweet writing quotes, writing tips, and about my own writing adventures. My twitter is also attached to my blog, so it's an easy way to see my updates. So… Continue reading Website Wonders: Twitter: ShanAshleeT23

Music Muse: My December
I haven't mentioned music which inspires my writing in a while, so I thought this song, considering December's arrival, would be a great one to mention. "My December" by Linkin Park is a lovely and mellow song, unlike some of their rocker songs. I love this song. I used to love it so much, I… Continue reading Music Muse: My December

I have read all of the books, so I know the original ending and the alternate ending. Breaking… Continue reading Movie Mention: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2

Living during the Depression, the three Bondurant brothers run Franklin County, Virginia with their illegal alcohol sales. But when corrupt eyes fall on their successful money, Forrest, Howard, and Jack must rely on one… Continue reading Movie Mention: Lawless
Inspiration
So this Sunday, I checked my favorite site Postsecret.com (read what I said about it here), and I found this little gem: I think this is FANTASTIC, because it gives me the chance to ask you this question: Are there any novels, poems, or plays which make you feel closer to someone in or out… Continue reading Inspiration
TV Time: Alaska Marshals
Hey all! I've been enjoying the family time at home recently, but I thought I would share some cool information with you. During my family reunion (not the ENTIRE family, but more than I normally get to see), I saw family from Pennsylvania and Alaska. We caught up, ate a lot of food, and, most… Continue reading TV Time: Alaska Marshals
