Dear Readers, here is a copy of what I have posted in my profile:

Thank you all so much for continuing to read my stories. Those of you who have been patient with all of the changes I've made, I appreciate you very much. I know that some of you have been or are growing frustrated with the fact that I have not completed several stories, but let me explain myself...

When I first started writing on fictionpress, I was going through a very traumatic time in my life, and the writing kept my mind going... off of the problems and onto something constructive and fun... the kind of thing that produces warm fuzzies for me and my readers. I admit I got carried away with the different versions and all, but there are a couple of reasons for this- 1) I did want to see how the stories would turn out if I wrote them differently. And indeed, this is a fun exercise if you have the time. 2) Keeping them going was a desperate attempt to keep my mind off of my problem.

And now... well I've been hit with other types of problems that have caused me to slack off. That... and life... pulled me away from the writing chair more and more. I have kids, as many of you know, so I must dedicate a large portion of my time to them as well.

Anyway, I have faced what happened and have put my worries in the Lord's hands. I will need to balance my time out better and keep active for God and my family. That means that the computer time is indeed going to be cut way back from what it was before, and that also means that I will not be able to finish all of my stories.

Also, I am not comfortable with my Dan and Bekah stories. Not comfortable with what I did in promoting the student/teacher aspect of things, so my plan is to revamp the Original Rose completely so that it will be something i can be proud of, something i can show my family. The other Rose versions will be removed- except possibly this one. I am sorry, but this is necessary for my clear conscience and for my reputation as a Christian. I am not sure what is to become of Young Mother, but it will be removed for now.

I also plan to work with Forbidden No More, because of the wonderful allegory that can be woven into the story as a whole- however, that story too will suffer (or benefit from) changes.

You can dump me from favorites, it does't really matter. What matters is that I write something I can live with.

Thanks again to all faithful readers.

PS_ the Current Walk in the Rain will be kept and finished later for fun. I am not sure how much later yet. We will see how things go.
