about me

Hey, I'm Michelle!
--------------
*READING POLICY: If you ask me to read your work, I'll do my best to get to it (if, of course, it catches my interest). I can't make too many promises because I have four English classes this semester, and I'm stuck doing school-related reading most days. Also, I'm not the type of person to hound anyone, but if I do read your work as you asked me, I'd appreciate the favor returned (particularly on Right Where You Fell). :D

*PLEASE READ THIS: I'm very grateful for those who helped Sit Tight, Take Hold get into the top and stay there throughout November, but PLEASE remove it from your Pick lists now, and don't add it. It doesn't help me, or your trendsetter rank, or anything, so I'd like to see that used to help other people share the experience I had. Help a story that you love that hasn't had the chance to make the top five. :)

So, anyway, I'm 20. I'll try almost anything once, unless it involves spiders or heights. Because being away from the ground isn't cool, and spiders terrify me. I live south of Pittsburgh and I'm a sophomore at California University of PA. I'm a goofball, like those obnoxious people in stores who appear to be laughing at nothing. Or the person who is singing songs or making random comments. I'm a firm believer in the thought that you have to be able to laugh at yourself. I'm a pretty sarcastic person. I think my clumsiness is hilarious. I hate sleeping in late, but I'll stay up until 3 AM. I hate that in writing this, I have to keep starting my sentences with ‘I.’

Things I love: oldies music, classic cars, drive-ins, live concerts, writing, cinematography, Steelers football, driving, movie commentary, Christmas, beaches, pianos, David Cook, guitars, foreign accents, people-watching, singer/songwriter music, comedy specials, winning video games, watching videos on YouTube, singing, having a good time, rundown parks, watching Harry Potter Weekends on ABC Family, laughing until I can't breathe, answering random questions about stuff, enjoying life.

Things I don't love: traffic, slow-walking people who cut me off, people in the 10-items or less checkout lanes with more than 10 items, spiders (bad experience in 5th grade), waking up before the sun rises, people who say they'll return reads and don't, getting into arguments.

That’s about it. :D

Oh, and if you want to see all the random thoughts I have during the day, follow me on Twitter. I talk about riding public transit to school and thermostat wars, and my writing projects. It's fun times!

Sit Tight, Take Hold

by mscheponik

Book: Romance, Humor, General Fiction

With a boy and a girl, there's always a story. Mine began with a swing-set, a moving van, and a Bruce Springsteen song.

I was always the girl with a plan – from conception to execution to resolution. I was the one who knew how to take all of the punches, come back with a sarcastic retort, and walk away with my head held high. That's just how I roll, after all.

To the point, I, Regan Olivia Thomas, did not lose ever. Until there was Tristan Montgomery, and my wit and sarcasm met their ultimate match.

And I was not okay with it.

Right Where You Fell

by mscheponik

Book: General Fiction, Romance

You're dealt the cards. No one lets you choose them.

Harper bet her future on dance. Eli bet his future on what he loved.

Neither had a winning hand.

After high school graduation, Harper goes to her grandfather’s house in Ocean City, MD, determined to forget the painful memories of the injury that flipped her planned future on its head. It's there that she meets Eli, a boy who - like her - exiled himself to the beach as an escape. As the summer goes on, the two strike up a connection through their mutual love of poker – and through the unspoken pasts neither of them wants to face.

But as Harper rekindles her dream, she begins to realize that the future she longed for isn’t necessarily the future she needs, and that some dreams – like Eli’s – can never be replaced.
