Hey guys!

So, I've taken a pretty extensive break that is now going to be permanent. I've had these plots stuck in my mind forever, but I have decided I won't be posting them. However, I will still be writing them, so if you are interested in one, just PM me and I'll let you know what's going on with it. I will be writing the stories and emailing updated chapters for those interested, so again feel free to PM me.

What You've Been Missing: Gabriella Montez has never considered herself lucky. Sure, she seems to have it all on the outside; a bright future in journalism, astonishingly beautiful looks and envious intelligence. But in a land where competition is life with no time to slow down and smell the roses, Gabriella has become accustomed to thought that love just wasn't meant to be. In the beautiful city of Chicago, she's just another pretty face; nothing special. That is, until she meets Michael Bolton; when in which less than a week later she saves his life. Now she finds herself suddenly overwhelmed with the aspect of being part of a family, when those closest to Michael mistake her for his fiance. When she can't tell them the truth, she finds herself stuck between a her moral obligations and more earthly needs, especially when Michael's attractive younger brother enters the picture with more than a hint as to the truth hidden behind the beautiful brown eyes.

Fly Away; December 2009: It's senior year, and things are going great for Gabriella Montez. She's got a blooming relationship with her new boyfriend, best friends that are always by her side, and as far as she can tell, she's a shoe- in for any given college she so choses to apply to. It's Christmas time, and things couldn't be more perfect. Until she finds out that she's part of a dying boy's last wish. Though turned off by the idea initially, she begins to realize that life isn't all butterflies and sunshine- that life is in fact bigger than herself.

60 Seconds: In one instant- a single moment; 60 seconds- everything can change. And that one moment- will forever be embedded into your memory, into your whole being. The one moment, that defined the rest of your life. It's senior year, and Gabriella is on top of the world. Her relationship with Troy is absolutely perfect, the Evans seemed to have left their meddling ways behind them during the previous summer, and everything she could ever ask for is resting in the palm of her hands. Until one day, one wrong choice made by another changes not only her world, but the lives all those around her.

Beyond the Sun: As if being a senior facing graduation and mundane amounts of college applications weren't stressful enough, Gabriella Montez finds herself stressing over the senior graduation requirement; fulfilling a year long assignment that requires her to explore a world she'd only heard about. The senior project requires each student to select a topic with sentimental value to each individual student, to which they must present not only a thirty minute long presentation in front of their peers, but a large scaled project within the study itself. Having had an obsession with hospitals and medicine since she was a young child, Gabriella thinks she knows exactly what she'll do. Suddenly, she finds herself following the life of an adolescent cancer patient- and sees how the other half lives. This topic is very close to my heart, and I apologize if it upsets anyone. If anyone viewing this has any questions about this story, or even comments- please let me know. I am very excited about this story, and have much more work to put together for it. It is something I've been working on intensively for the past two years, and I can't wait for it's release.

So those are the stories that have been riddling my mind most recently, and I'd love to hear your thoughts should anything stand out. I know that each one of the topics above are thought/feeling/emotion provoking- and that's my intention. However, I have grown tremendously since I last wrote a serious story, and have seriously grown not only as a writer but as a person. That is why I ask those of you who do chose to follow these stories, to keep an open mind, and try not to judge. I love hearing people's ideas and thoughts to stories and plot ideas, so feel free to PM me with anything should you feel the need to do so. Also in conjunction with keeping an open mind to the story plots, all of these plots are AU- and that will be glaringly apparent should it not stand out already.

No Air; October 2009: Simply a revised version of my already published one- shot "No Air." More in depth, and a plot has been added. Less melodramatic.

Thanks, and enjoy!
