Author has written 3 stories for Mystery, Supernatural, and Romance.

I always find it hard to write, at least, something of quality and more than just a oneshot. I favor novel-length stories to read, and oftentimes find myself writing in a similar fashion to my tastes. I supposed that makes sense. Really, though, I just love to write. I've taken a Creative Writing class just to satisfy my need (and love) to write, and in that class we even student-produced a magazine to be sold amongst our schoolmates. I enjoyed the project very much, to the point where I wonder if I could follow the same steps when I get the courage (and material) to create my own works for publication. Probably. But until I actually have something I think is even worth putting out, I guess everyone can just find and read it here. For free. Without having to search it via bookstore and/or library.

And until that time comes (whenever/if-ever it does), things will be progressing rather slowly. I tend to work that way: slowly. Since I have a habit of putting too many projects (i.e. stories) under my belt, both fanfiction and original fiction -- and the occasional poetry here and there -- I move very sluggishly, to the point where some get frustrated at me. I do apologize to those who are well acquainted with my bad habit, but let me remind that that is the way I am and I can't help it. At least I put out something half-way decent and worth reading. (I hold high standards for myself, not to mention I am very critical toward myself, so whatever I write always look halfway crappy.)

Ah, also, let me say that I also have betaing under my belt as well. While I don't quite have the qualifications (according to fictionpress) to be a beta reader just yet, I have beta-ed in fanfiction for a few people. This means not only do I help others in their work with my mad English skills ('kidding), I also put aside my work for others. Thus... meaning something else delays my updates further. Oh well, I don't mind. I'm sure others don't mind so much either -- one day's fan may be another day's client in the writing industry.

So I think that's all I have to say about myself. For now, anyway.


Finished Project(s)

A Severed Red Thread - one-shot. This was something that came to me whilst listening to several sentimental songs in a row. I dropped my homework and churned this own because the mood trapped me. There are a lot of holes in the story, but I believe them to be on purpose. A lot of the background is supposed to be vague. Hopefully no one gets confused in the purposely made fog.

Current Project(s)

Blue Alert - Chapter Two pending. This story is very strange, even in my own opinion. I cannot even being to explain without 1) giving something away and ruining the story; and 2) confusing the heck out of people, maybe even myself. Alas, I think it'll be an interesting turnout, especially with shorter chapters than I usually pull out with my other, secret writing, so updates may -- if I'm lucky -- be quicker than expected, or not. Who knows?

Predator of Moon - Chapter One pending. This is... well, I suppose it was a request. Or was it a commission? I can't remember anymore. It's possibly my first hetero-romance story involving werewolves. It's very rough, very sketchy in the making, and honestly I don't think it should be put up, but I fear that if I don't, I'll forget all about it and never finish. Well, I hope it turns out okay in the end. ...Whenever, however, that is.

Future Project(s)

(none as of yet...)




1. A Severed Red Thread reviews
She dabbed her face with make-up, touched her neck with perfume, pinned up her hair, and dawned a simple but beautiful summer dress. This was rare for her, so many were curious to the reason. A date? Party? Little did they know where she was really going.

Werewolves weren't meant to exist. In fact, they DON'T exist. They aren't real. That's what Kira believes. -Really, werewolves? It's all a myth. Pish-posh. ...But, then who's this young man? Why can he change into a dog? This is just a dream... right?
