A quicky-note: add "Surviving Michael" to your PICKS? You won't regret it. :)

Chapter FOUR of "Stuck on F/16" is UP!



I love writing; I believe it can bring change, hope, and inspiration to anyone who is willing to close their eyes and open their imagination. Let writing breathe for you, flowing through your veins as if it is a part of you.

About seven things, I'm positive:
1.) I'm boring
2.) I'm shy
3.) I don't let people in easily. You gotta kick & pry.
4.) People irritate me. A lot.
5.) I'm a proud fan of Tokio Hotel.
6.) I'm a laugher; no message, comment, or text is withouth "lol" or (my personal favorite) the "!".
7.) I'm in love with photography. It's the only other passion of mine. I've won a few state contests, done a few light paintings, and dominated the polaroid art. But, nonetheless, I'm no professional.


I want to earn a Newberry Medal Award, and a Pulitzer Prize. And I want to be the first to write a musical in book-form. Greedy 'ole me wants to be remembered for something great, and form myself a place in the hallway of legacies as I try to conquer this world.


"I think they could take Sesame seeds off the market and I wouldn't even care. I can't imagine five years from now saying, "Damn, remember Sesame seeds? What happened? All the buns are blank!" They're gonna have to change that McDonald's song: "Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a... bun." How's a Sesame seed stick to a bun? That's fuckin' magical! There's got to be some Sesame seed glue out there! Either that, or they're adhesive on one side. "Take the Sesame seed out, remove the backing, place it on the bun. Now your bun will look spectacular." What does a Sesame seed grow into? I don't know; we never gave them a chance! What the fuck is a Sesame? It's a street! It's a way...to open shit!" --Mitch Hedburg

Surviving Michael

by NextBigThing

Book: Adventure, General Fiction, Historical Fiction, Humor

Time travel just got a whole lot more complicated.

**First of all: A big THANK YOU if you added this to your picks! :)


Alex Taylor is a cynic. And Michael Wood claims he is from a very ususual place: the past. When this unlikely pair is forced to work together on a college paper, it is only beginning of a chain of events that will quickly throw them into the 5th century. Alex & Michael set off to stop what will come to be known as "The Black Series" before it begains. But, even with time travel on their side, will they be too late?

The first of this trilogy, "Surviving Michael" is full of twists, turns, and missing puzzle pieces that will take both courage and self-sacrifice to solve.

Stuck on F/16

by NextBigThing

Book: Paranormal, Romance

Chris Bartlett can see through the lens of a camera. And he can see dead people. Now he's seeing a psychiatrist.

Chris Bartlett is normal until things began to go PARAnormal. As he starts to literally see dead people, three things come into play: Ayden Thompson, several subplots, and ultimately Chris himself--all of them forcing him to overcome his fears. But when they all combine to throw light on the biggest fear of them all, Chris's dark past, will he be able to overcome it?

Comical, dramatic, and stitched with the obstacles that the everyday-teenager faces, F/16 brings to mind the courage one must have in order to forgive, forget, and move on.
