I've been incredibly busy with other projects and haven't been able to work on Daughter of a Rapist very much, sorry. But thanks to all who reviewed! And to those who reviewed Lizzie's Mistake - it's no longer being updated. I may pick it up and attempt to re-write it at some point, but it's kind of a lost cause - smutty and plotless.

I do sometimes post songs on here from time to time, and may do that again sometime soon.

Daughter of a Rapist

Previously known as Katie's Story: Daughter of a Rapist. I've changed some of the plot, one of the characters, and revamped the story. It's more mature than it was, but, then again, so am I, and a lot better than the first draft. Check it out and let me know what you think.

The reason why I may take a while to update is because I'm working on my current novel, which I hope to finish it soon! Currently at 64K, and 24/28 chapters are finished! Working on the twenty-first chapter currently, and just need to wind it up. Yay!

So, that's all I can say for now. Keep checking here for updates. I'll email anyone if I actually do updated something.

Things you may like to know:

Name: My real name is Rachel - I'm not lucky enough to have a kühl Finnish name. But, hey, who knows, maybe I'll marry a Finn someday!

Age: Sixteen

Location: I've lived my entire life in Scotland, although I'm also part English and Indian. I also have Russian and possibly Polish roots far back. I like being more than just another Scottish girl from West Lothian.

Religion: I'm a Born Again, Pentecostal Christian. I recently got called a Religious Fanatic, which was highly entertaining.

School: I'm currently studying for Highers in English, Maths, German, History and Art & Design.

Hobbies: My main hobbies include writing, obviously; reading a variety of novels; photography - usually abstract; many other art-y things; playing bass guitar and electric; and of course, daydreaming. How else are good stories created?

Writing: I've been writing stories and novels since I was five. My first 'novel' was called "Rebecca and Emma Get a New Brother," and was about six pages long, illustrated, and based on the Topsy and Tim books. I was six. My first actual novel which I finished was called "The Big Idea," and was about four girls who formed a babysitting business called The Christian Babysitters Club. It was based on Ann M. Martin's BSC books, and I think I was ten...maybe eleven, maybe nine. My mum'll remember. But, officially, the first novel I ever finished was called "Me, My Boyfriend, My Parents and My Geography Book." It wasn't based on anything, and I was thirteen. I think it was around 35K, which I'm quite proud about. I'm in the process of re-writing it. It's changed a lot, but, hey, so have I! I also write songs, but not so much anymore. I do have some pretty good ones from when I was twelve, but, be warned, they're either kind of depressing, or very soppy.

I Love: My friends, listening to lyrics in songs, bass lines and chordal songs, good grammar, being different, bright colours, heels, photography, being opinionated, long socks, fishnets, talking in Deutsch to confuse people, my cats, the highlands, peacefulness, anything being played on a piano, guys with long hair, anything Finnish, cello music, Apocalyptica -my current obsession-.

I Hate: Songs with rubbish lyrics, people who are complete clones, white trainers, short socks, tight jeans, school keyboards, having no inspiration, abortion, loud dogs, noisy traffic, sex before marriage, cliched books, books which all have the same voice coughMegCabotcough, bad grammar -the worst sin of all.-

Hope that answered any questions you have =)
