SEPTEMBER 2011 UPDATE: As my loyal readers know, gone are the days when I updated That I Would Be Good every other Sunday on schedule. Because of moving TWICE in the last few months, as well as health issues, I just cannot keep to that schedule. However, rest assured (those of you who care about TIWBG), that I will NOT abandon it. I hope to have a new chapter for you in the next few weeks. Thank you to those who have been with this little-known story from the beginning and leave me love every update. You'll never know how much your support has meant to me as I've explored my writing skills. THANK YOU!

Follow me on Twitter: @CosetteCullen - I will tweet when story updates are posted, and sometimes I’ll tweet teasers as well as any other communication needed to readers of TIWBG. I am following lots of other fanfic authors, as well as blogs who recommend fanfic stories, so it is a good resource for all you fanfic hoors.

WHO AM I? Well, if you really want to know, here's the scoop -- I am a 43 year old married mother of three living in Arizona. My pen name, Cosette Cullen, is in homage to one of my favorite novels, Les Miserables. Cosette is the adopted daughter of the main character, Jean Valjean. I also adore Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens, and Williams Wordsworth. Yes, I’m a sucker for the classics, and you'll see this reflected in my Bella in That I Would Be Good. I discovered Twilight in November 2009 and have been obsessed ever since (more Robsessed than Twiobsessed).

Though I grew up reading and writing voraciously, I never attempted to write fiction. Instead, I wrote poetry, essays, and filled journal after journal with my personal musings. I always dreamt of being an author, but fear of failure kept me from ever attempting to write fiction. After about six months of reading fan fiction like a woman possessed, I decided that this was a safe environment in which to test the writing waters, so to speak. So this little story, That I Would Be Good, is my first attempt at fiction of any kind.

As a new author, I REALLY NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!!! If you like it, I need to hear it. Your encouragement will give me motivation and drive to keep going. If you hate it, well, I want to know that too, but just be nice about it. LOL! If you are bored and have no inclination to turn to the next chapter, I need to know that. I have a clear plot outline, but I will be open to any suggestions you want to offer along the way.

Regardless of whether my story is received favorably, I will still be glad that I wrote it. Much to my surprise, I have found that I love writing fiction. I have been energized – sort of on a high – while writing. It is so freaking amazing when a new thought/idea comes to mind and the plot goes in a different direction than planned. The creative process is like a drug to me now!
