Hello everyone, I just wanted to clear up a few things. While I enjoy constructive criticism, I don't appreciate people who just try to make you seem stupid with crude sneers they call constructive. I look at things this way:

1. I don't intend to stay at this level in my writing, I know I may not write the best, but believe me, I've seen worse.

2. As a fellow writer, you should be more concerned with trying to build up people's confidence while showing them ways to improve.

3. As I've learned, everyone has unique writing skills, while you may be good in one area, someone else may be good in another. It is your job as a writer and fellow reader to not only point out their weaknesses, but point out their strengths as well.

So, finally back to my writing, I write because I love to do so. I write because I love coming up with my own ideas. Innovative is what they call it, so if someone doesn't like it, that's fine because there are plenty of people who will.

About me: My name is Brandy. I am a 25 year old Criminal Justice major, with two kids whom I love. I enjoy reading all sorts of things, except smut novels. That's what me and my friends call them. The romance novels, that's really porno written on paper. I used to like them when I was younger, living in a fantasy land about my dream guy and the "love" he would show me, but I grew up and experienced life. Thus, there goes my infatuation with the romance in smut novels. I love mystery, historical fiction, and horror novels. It's hard to find a good scary book. I don't think they make those anymore. It's all about the mystery. I also love to cook, be online alot, and going to school.

My motto: There's a season for everything. You won't be where you are today come tomorrow.

I am an emotional person who offers help to anyone in need. I even accept help if that's what you're offering.

Rough Times: whose title I'm seriously thinking about changing, will be updated every so often, because I do have an idea of where I want to go, just not sure how I'm going to get there. Eventually, I will. When I do, I'll work on it. So, be patient. The intent for this story is a lot of things intertwined. A snippet of what the story is going to be is given in the summary. That's only one quarter of what it will be.

Finding Peace: is a story about teenagers who get themselves in a lot of trouble by doing the right thing. They aren't perfect, everyone has flaws, but their good intentions may bring more trouble than they expected. Though this story is completed, there is plenty of flaws in it. I am in the process of editing it now. Beginnig, Today October 24, 2008. When will it be done? I am not sure. Hopefully no more than two to three months.

All signs point to you:

This story tells what happened during Denise and Jordan Williams relationship in high School. I guess you could call this the prequel to the entire series, even though I started working on this one further on down the line, more like in 2008. I got this idea, from the diary entries in Finding Peace. I will update every three to seven days on this one, I know, it's slow, but as the story gets to flowing, it'll be easier to write.

Because sometimes it takes people years to figure out what they want in a relationship, including each other, this story basically shows you how frail the human heart really is. It explores the good and bad in every person of the story. Hopefully, it will be an inspiration, lessons learned type story for everyone. This story is complete.

A test of Love:

Please Don't ask me where I got the title for this story. I don't know. I do know that it's a sequel that's going to be shorter than all signs point to you, that one went on forever to me. I was trying not to get everyone bored with it. A test of Love hopefully will be interesting enough to get some reviews. When I write, I'm well aware of my mistakes. I just wait till the end of whatever story before I correct them. Depending on the length of the story. All Signs Point to You was easier to write than this one, because although I know where I want to go with this story, this is going to be a rough ride. Very bumpy one. So, I hope you enjoy it.

A/N: I have quite a few things to say. I got a review a while back, stating that Virginia was on the east coast. Well, after doing some research, I've come to learn, that Virginia is not on the west coast at all. Contrary to popular belief, Virginia is a Southern state after all. Not only does it have a southern culture, but it also fought in the confederacy during the civil war. The biggest proof that it's southern, is the fact that it's below the mason Dixon line.

The state above it however, West Virginia, is considered northern, because it used to be part of Virginia, but broke off to side with the union. Thus making it a northern state. I always wondered how Virginia could be considered a northern state being so close to Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. That was my rationalization for calling it a southern state and it turns out, I was right after all. Great deductive reasoning, wouldn't you say?
