Grace Barlow has loved taking pictures since she got her first camera as a kid. She knew from a young age there was nothing else she wanted to do with her life.
It was a hit or miss career, she knew that. She couldn't do it fulltime, forcing her to work as a barista on the side. And as time passed, she began to believe maybe it was farfetched, to believe she could live off of taking photos alone; she was beginning to believe it would only be a hobby.
Until she got the call.
The man on the phone sounded very formal, his tone official as he asked her if she'd be interested in photographing for a musician's tour. He couldn't share the name until she signed on, but Grace didn't care. She'd be photographing concerts every night and making enough money that she could save it up and never have to work at Starbucks again.
This was it; this was her big break. To Grace, nothing could bring her down... well, until she gets the email confirming the artist she'll be touring around the country with for the next 3 months.
Joshua Bassett.
She hadn't heard that name in a long time, and yet, her heart ached reading it. She hadn't seen him since he left oceanside and moved to LA to pursue his career, leaving her behind with nothing but a promise that nothing was going to change. But everything is different now. A lot has changed since the day he drove away.
Grace wants nothing more than to stay clear from Joshua and get her job done; but things only grow more complicated when Joshua's management try to force a fake relationship on him, with some up-and-coming popstar that will help his image. He's willing to do anything to get out of it.
Even if that means lying about already having a girlfriend... and of course, the first name that comes to mind is none other than the girl he hasn't stopped thinking about for years.

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.

Living with a YouTuber?!
This is a sequel, so read "Dating a YouTuber?!" first. I wholeheartedly loved and trusted Nate despite having known him less than a year. I had a million reasons why I shouldn't move in with him but I decided to ignore them and trust my gut feeling rather than my head.

Slowly but surely I was being wrapped in various YouTube activities and it had become a significant part of my life. I would be busier than ever when I went back to university and continued to run my now high-profile blog. It would be a challenge to juggle the pressure from the online world while attending my responsibilities, finding time for my passions and maintaining all my personal relationships. I didn't mind though. All the pieces seemed to fall into place and I was so bloody excited to see what the future would bring. *********************************************************** If you're confused, please read "Dating a YouTuber?!" first (check my profile). Blogger and photographer Abigail has agreed to move in with Nate, a.k.a. SillyNate on YouTube, and they are keeping it a secret from his YouTube audience for now. While the main characters (who are ALL fictional) still are the focus, this book will also have many cameos from real life YouTubers and draw on real events.Complete

Camera Flashes (1) - Taylor Swift
"You talk like you ate a thesaurus for breakfast. You should try a normal person word instead of lineage, like family." "Would that not involve being remotely fond of them?"

Some people make it out, some crave the attention, while others merely let it suffocate them past the point of no return. Grace didn't choose to be famous, but Taylor did.

FLEETING THIN PLACES (Joji 2024)
"I like your crazy," she said gently. George held her head for support and replied, "Oh, my crazy?!" __ __ Warning: This story contains mature content, including explicit scenes and drug references. Reader discretion is advised. * * If you're nearing your thirties or already in your thirties (like our boy Joji) and find yourself contemplating the philosophies of love and life, this story might be just what you need. It explores mature themes, focusing on career, love, and the complex decisions we face, along with the desires that can't be confined to a single path. * * Once you delve deep into the "Joji" rabbit hole, exploring RPFs about him often becomes a key destination. While many "Joji" stories on Wattpad are fantastic, most focus on his college or YouTube days, which are part of his past. With that in mind, I decided to write a story centered on the current "Joji". ** The story explores the fleeting nature of life's moments and how everything changes over time, much like the branches of a fig tree representing different life choices. Just when you think you have your life all planned out, you meet someone who completely changes your path. But then again, you trade some and lose some, right? And the real question is, can we really have it all? __ Please note that this story is loosely inspired by Joji and is not intended to offend or imply that it represents his real life. Real names have been changed to protect privacy and to show that this story is fictional, though loosely inspired by real people. Also, one character is inspired by another fictional show. Any resemblance to real people or characters from other works is purely coincidental and not meant to reflect their true identities. Most of the photos used in this content are sourced from free websites. For the Joji photos, I will try my best to credit the rightful owner.Complete
The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER! The best part about this book is that it has some funny bits and introduces you to characters I use for a while. But, if you don't like the writing, please consider one of my newer works 😊 Started: May 10, 2016 Completed: September 2016Complete
Suffocate: Book Four (bxb) ✔️
Book four of five in the New Beginnings Series. VALENTINE PIERCE: My dearest cousin is going on his honeymoon, leaving me jobless for two weeks. Maybe that's a little dramatic, but it left me open and needing something to do. Allison Yates, the CEO of the label August works for has tasked me with helping Vesper Quinn adapt to the changes in his life. Which means, I have to be his temporary manager until they can find him one. Normally, I would have jumped for joy at the opportunity, except, Vesper decided I'm nothing but a snobby rich kid, who does whatever he wants. If I want it, I get it. It stemmed from Vesper finding out that I showed his videos to the company. He was signed, and he wasn't the least bit appreciative. See, I followed him for years. I was once intrigued by him. We even... went on dates. I thought he liked me, and I even thought we were headed somewhere. But then he vanished for almost two years. He stopped making music. He changed his number. He didn't contact anyone. Until he finally showed up for his audition, and he was signed. Sure, I thought, maybe we still had a chance. Until it evaporated that night in the stairwell. So, why is he being kind to me? I'm not falling for his tricks. I won't let him in again. I tried twice. I even gave him a chance after he vanished on me-but then I saw the way he looked at me when he not only found out what I'd done to help him, but who I was related to. But something is going on with him. I see it in his eyes. The mistrust. And then I find out he's suffocating, and he's been alone. It's dangerous to fall after the soon-to-be superstar, but I want him. I desperately want him, and I have for years. Hey, it's Christmas-anything can happen, right?Complete
