			<title>When The Moon Doesn't Shine &amp;hearts;</title>
			<description>I think this is probably the best free-verse poem I've written yet, just because of what it means to me. I hope it brings you all such strong emotions as I get when reading it! :)</description>

			<title>An Old Friend (Poem)</title>
			<description>This poem is based of the quick rough story I wrote in Writer's Craft class about a renewal of a friendship. I personally think this poem is better than the story itself!</description>

			<title>An Old Friend (Story)</title>
			<description>This is an extremely short story about a renewal of a friendship. We had about 5 minutes to scribble down whatever came to mind in Writer's Craft class, and this is what I came up with.</description>

			<title>Dream by Dream &amp;#9829;</title>
			<description>Based on Christofer Drew Ingle. I know this is very short (even for a short story), but I'm actually turning it into a full book soon! :)</description>

			<title>Symphony (For You) &amp;#9829;</title>
			<description>This started out as a slow song, but eventually turned out as a Santana-like pop/rock/spanish-style song! :) Enjoy -- it's my favourite out of all that I wrote! &lt;3</description>

			<title>Flying Man &amp;hearts;</title>

			<title>Castle In The Air</title>
			<description>This is the first rock song I ever wrote (all the others were mainly pop or folk). I based it off Elise's scenario in my story, &quot;You Can Call Me Crazy&quot; (how her mom died, etc).</description>

			<title>Love Lost in Time &amp;hearts;</title>
			<description>This is a sort of &quot;Cascade 9&quot; poem, where each line has one more syllable than the last. Created originally as a contest entry.</description>

			<title>Before I Go &amp;hearts;</title>
			<description>A very heartbreaking song I wrote a while ago, using only an acoustic guitar and soft piano. Someone who is about to pass doesn't want to go for fear that they will loose that one special person.</description>

			<title>Fur Elise :)</title>
			<description>Based on my Nicholas Jonas story, &quot;You Can Call Me Crazy.&quot; (Written in Ellie's point of view.) I will probably post the song somewhere soon once it gets to this point in the story! :)</description>

			<title>Chapter 15: Wishful Thinking</title>
			<description>It's sad when people who are meant to be together go their separate ways... But in fairytales things always turn out happily ever after... I just hope I make this a fairytale. &lt;3 (The picture is of Alex, btw.)</description>

			<title>Chapter 14: Centre Stage</title>
			<description>DEFINITELY my favourite chapter so far; no doubt! Nicholas is such a sweetheart! &lt;33 ...Or at least the Nicholas I created in this story is... (Check out the characters' info at nickjstory.blogspot.com)</description>

			<description>Lalalalala, I love this chapter!! :D You'll see why at the end. Visit nickjstory.blogspot.com! (YouTube channel will be running soon as well: youtube.com/nickjstory !)</description>

			<title>Chapter 12: Decidedly Strange</title>
			<description>This is the exact chapter where my writing became much more mature -- where I realized that I was actually serious about this story. Also, I just love it so much how Elise has become so comfortable with the Jonases by this chapter! ;)</description>

			<title>Chapter 11: Experience the Feeling</title>
			<description>This chapter makes me smile whenever I read it. I hope you like it as much as I do. Ellie's life gets spiced up a little...but it's all for the better! :)</description>

			<title>Chapter 10: Go and Get 'er, Bro</title>
			<description>Exciting chapter. I personally love the switching between POVs in this chapter, since you get to see both sides of the story. There are also a couple of videos that go along with the story perfectly. (Be cool -- be interactive!!) &lt;3</description>

			<title>Chapter 08: It's About Time</title>
			<description>Long story short, Ellie gets very confused...about multiple things. Tee-hee! :P (Don't forget to check out this story's site: nickjstory.blogspot.com!) &lt;3</description>

			<title>Chapter 09: Pros and Cons</title>
			<description>This chapter presents all of Ellie's remaining school friends that haven't been in the story yet (other than Bridget Van Orden). I like this one, 'cause it starts of cute...and then ends off cute...but in totally different ways! :)</description>

			<title>Chapter 07: Fantastalistic People</title>
			<description>Some more of Ellie's friends are introduced: Lauren Marshall and Alex Lombardi, her crush. (You can see their character descriptions and photos at nickjstory.blogspot.com!) This is another chapter I don't really like, but it IS important! &lt;3</description>

			<title>Chapter 06: So Much Better</title>
			<description>This is the first chapter with Nick's POV (point of view)! Later on, we're also introduced to one of Ellie's school friends, Erin Kelly. (Go to the story's blog for the character descriptions! The link is at the bottom.) &lt;3</description>

			<title>Chapter 05: The Tape</title>
			<description>It turns out that someone else found the tape before Elise even got the chance to look for it. (Finally...! Now things are starting to pick up!) &lt;3</description>

		<item>
			<title>Chapter 04: A Half Smile</title>
			<description>The next chapter is when things start picking up, and the plot of the story is really started. Like I said before, I wrote the first number of chapters a couple years ago, so my writing style wasn't as mature as it is now! :) Bear with me!</description>

			<title>Chapter 03: Crazy Stuff</title>
			<description>Oranges...! :) I honestly don't know what it was with me and fillers back then. I guess I didn't think this story would be as big of a deal as it is for me now. The first few chapters drag on a bit, but things get SO GOOD later on! &lt;3</description>

			<title>Chapter 02: Our Humble Abode</title>
			<description>It's awkward reminicing on memories because they're gone. Personally, I don't really like this chapter. It was previously used as a filler, and even though it is important for the story, I wrote it a couple years ago, so my writing style hadn't matured.</description>

			<title>Chapter 01: First Impressions</title>
			<description>First impressions are always the hardest, but we all usually manage to get through in the end. I'd also say that re-meeting people is harder than meeting new people, because you don't know if their memories of you are as fond as your's are of them.</description>

			<title>Nicholas Jonas: You Can Call Me Crazy</title>
			<description>Elise Brooks is the daughter of the assistant manager of the Jonas Brothers (a band of brothers whom she used to know personally, before her mom's death). After re-meeting the Jonases, there is only one question: is there something between Ellie and Nick?</description>
