Guess who's back? Finally, my big exams are over and I've just found myself this weekend spending a whole solid day listening to Damien Rice and writing a little steampunk story about a lighthouse and a half robot boy who lived there alone with his mechanical pet butterfly.  If that tickles your fancy, then by all means give it a go!

          	Now that I've got more free time on my hands, I hope to go back to be more active around here. Hopefully that should be fun. For now, have a nice day or night, whoever you are, where ever you are, and I hope to see you again soon!

Yes, you are seeing this. No, you are not hallucinating, this is actually real. Check your inbox and sender's address again all you want, I guarantee you, this is a hundred percent real. After months and months and agonising months, it has happened. Of Lovers, Loners and Those Born To Die has gotten an update! Woooohooo! Look! If Wattpad hasn't sent you a notification email, I've even got the link to it here! How much more proof do you need?

          To the one or two people who are actually reading this little filthy book, I know! Exciting, right? But it has been a long time, so it might be worth a bit more of your time to go back a little for a recap before reading on this next little chapter. To those who haven't read any of it at all and somehow finds this email in your inbox or see this message on your newsfeed, you know, now might be a good time to give it a go. In both cases, I hope you have a good time with it, and a most fabulous day! Enjoy!

Hello, you lovely people! As the little email Wattpad should have probably sent you mentioned, there's a new update on Literal Metaphors! This one is a very strange but also fun one. I wanted to do a bit of experimentation again, so instead of just straight up write a story, I decided to do a found poem/prose  piece. All the words in this little pice of writing is completely put together using the words of eight songs and one poem, from four different artists. Tell me how it you think it turns out, and have a little fun trying to guess the songs and artists! It should be a fun little exercise :) 
          
          As always, the link to it is down here, in case Wattpad didn't send you a notification email, and the accompanying photos are on my tumblr, link also below.

          I hope your weekend's been spectacular, and if not, well, I hope it will be :)

So, apparently Wattpad had added a multimedia function, which seems like perfect timing for me because the next entry to the Literal Metaphors collection is a short poem with writing on the photos themselves instead of just being two accompanying things. Do give it a look and tell me if it works or not and how you find it. If you happen to not like it, don't worry, this is most likely just a one-off experiment. I'll be posting like normal as soon as the next upload :)

          I hope your day's been rockin' so far and will continue to rock for the rest of it :)

Helllllllloooooo! Oah! It's been a while, hasn't it? 
          
          Anywhom, for the few who miss me, I'm back with another addition to the Literal Metaphors project! This one, quite a bit longer, and a large bit even weirder than the little tales that went before it, concerning an undertaker and what happens when time itself decided to carry on with the work that he left unfinished. As always, the story's accompanying photoset is located on my tumblr blog. I shall provide here both links for your clicking convenience, https://www.wattpad.com/212145862-literal-metaphors-no-4-the-birth-no-one-witnessed , http://alicenact.tumblr.com/ . 
          
          This little project is now nearly over, only two more little tales to go, which should be done and uploaded in the next couple of weeks. And once it's completed and my deadlines have come and gone, you sick lovers of the infamous venomous willies will finally get the treat worthy of your patience ;)
          
          
          That's all from me for now, I should be getting back into the swing of things here on Wattpad real soon. For he who knows who he is, I hope this is a cute little gift for you to wake up to in case I can't be there when you finally rise from your thousand years sleep :P For the rest of you, I hope you enjoy it and as ever, have yourself a lovely, lovely day!

Good evening, morning, afternoon, lunch, witching hour, depending on whenever and wherever you're reading this at! 
          
          In case you haven't gotten a couple of little emails sent to you saying I've uploaded a new thing, well, I've uploaded a new thing! It's not a new Of Lovers, Loners & Those Born To Die chapter, unfortunately, but a start of an exciting, and quite different, new project that I've been working on. There are not a lot of ways I can explain it without repeating myself since the description is quite to the point already, so what are you hangin' about for? Go have a little peek! I won't mind. In fact, I strongly encourage it!

A hello to you, incredibly nice person who's reading this!
          
          A quite epic and consuming chapter of Of Lovers, Loners & Those Born To Die was uploaded not too long ago (2 days ago to be precise). And if you follow my tumblr, you'll also know that I've just very recently (this morning in fact) finished my massive painting, Grindell Hall, depicting an afternoon in a small part of the beautiful home of our Lord and Lady, Edmund and Giselle Solomon.  And if you don't then here are links to the both of them.

          With both of these things out of the way, I thought I'd take a teeny break from the lovely, bloody world of OLLATBTD, and go back to my short story roots. So, after a year, I Might Be Slightly Insane is getting a new update! 
          
          "A Story Told On A Bench In A Park" is the newest member to the family, and it's as sweet and bizarre as you would expect it to be, but this time told from a perspective I've never used before, so I'd be pretty excited to know what you make of it.

          Read, comment, vote, have fun, all that jazz, and as always, have yourself a lovely day!
          
          P.S. To people who don't like long titles, I'm sorry, I'm just really fond of them, and you really should  be getting used to it by now. :P

Well, good morning, noon, afternoon, evening, witching hour to you, where ever you are, and whenever you're reading this! 
          
          Right now, as I'm writing this, it is nearly 2 in the morning where I am, and I've been enjoying the first two  hours of my 17th birthday. What that means is that, according to every teen and YA fiction ever written, this is the year I'm going to either save the world, turn into a vampire, or get laid. None of which seems fuckin' likely at this point, but if I have to pick, my money's on the second option.
          
          Anyway, to commemorate this legendary milestone, I've been working hard to squeeze words out of my brain (a remarkably hard, frustrating and time consuming task by the way) and have succeeded, after nearly two months, to complete the next chapter of my vampire willies epic, Of Lovers, Loners & Those Born To Die! Here it is!
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/159719628-of-lovers-loners-%26-those-born-to-die-xvi-a-warning
          
          I know I say this every time, but this time, shit is finally about to go down. The Lady Giselle's introducing Edward to some new folks, and we get a glimpse of his past... 
          
          So do the birthday girl a favour, go give it a read, a little vote and comment as present would be very, very lovely as well. ;)
          
          That's all, really. I'm heading to bed now, but I do wish you all an exceedingly lovely day!
          
          Bye! 
          
          :)

@AliceNACT That would really suck if One Direction tied you to a chair and sang 'happy birthday' to you... :)
            
            I do hope you have a happy birthday!
            
            Oh, I'm assuming your still in England :)

Why, hello! Long time no... anything. Sorry about that. I've been back at home for the summer for a bit more than 2 weeks now and loads of shit happened, definitely way more than I expected. 
          
          I sort of found myself stuck in this hole again where I feel that everything I do is crap. But then I know I'd feel useless if I don't do anything, so I kept doing loads of things, and then fixing them, but then the more I did and the more I fixed, the crappier they seem to turn out. So that's been one heck of a frustrating uphill battle. Being at home means that I still have to keep up my happy bouncy attitude while feeling like shit inside instead of just go into my room and sulk with cookies and Tom Waits.  I also got talked into watching Terminator: Genisissysisys in 4D, which hurt both my eyes and soul. 
          
          With all that going on, this new chapter of OLLATBTD took much longer to finish than it should, but it is finished now, and uploaded, ready for you to take a peek. Edward's getting fucked with a little more this time, the poor thing. More questions are asked, more little enigmatic things getting revealed, and with a bit of luck it might be quite an interesting read. Hopefully.

          Read, vote, comment, all that jazz, if you feel like it, and most importantly, do have yourself a rocking day. Peace out.

@KingBritain Nah, lil' Eddie's just too cute for me to take my moodiness out on. He just seems to have the misfortune of falling into the perfect places for me to use as a plot device. I've also just realised the stuff I've done with him so far all leaned themselves to something pretty neat so I'm quite excited now to see how that all come together. The little chap's growing on me.
            
            And thank you, I'll send you an essay the next time I have a meltdown. You as an 'emotional sponge' does sound incredibly comforting. And your use of internet grins always cracks me up, especially when you do that thing when you combine a grin and a wink. It just looks so wrong ;D
