Yo, I'm Nara, random, pseudo responsible now, just broke the letter 'w' on my laptop, dammit. The future looks dark, bleak and boring so I go out and buy a house to make me feel better. Then I weep because I've spent money and above all things I am cheap and stingy. I weep even harder when I realise my budget is so tight now I'll be living on beans for the rest of my life, and you know what? I don't even like beans. And trying to type without the 'w' is a lot harder than previously estimated.

!On FictionPress and Writing!

These days I don't do a whole lot of writing because I'm busy and boring, responsible adult life can do that to you. When I do write, it comes out a mixture of lecherous, cheesy and craptastic, sometimes kinda depressing and sometimes just plain 'wtf?!'

My fave kind of romance is biting romance... the kind where they argue and fight and bite each other then get it awn. I don't claim to write well, au contraire, I was pretty surprised when SITYWAT took off (not disappointed, don't get me wrong). People seem to think I'm funny these days, if a little frightening, and it really validates those times in year 9 where people gave me that pitying look that says "Hey, maybe you should have stayed silent...".

I think good fiction should make you gurgle. Or maybe that's eating soap... who can tell these days?

I'm straddling the border of "not writing at all" and "trying to update because Monsteret was awesome and asked me to". We'll see how this goes.

Sorry, I thought you were a terrrorist is finished but by no means error free. I still like it, like that pet that's gotten a little old and maybe it's blind and you feel affection for it, even when it runs headfirst into that wall. Not really, cause I'm talking about my friends dog now and I hate that thing. Regardless, SITYWAT, finished.

Landmines do not come in different flavours- I don't like it as much, let's be blunt, but I'm sort of perservering. Occasionally.

Never Lose My Way- It's gonna stay as just that one chapter. Sorry! Besides, it's kinda depresso.

Pour some eggnog on me- yes, inspired by "Pour some sugar on me", great f!king song eh? Regardless, that has always been a one shot and sits in with the Wish series (see above).

If I ever get the time, insanity, drugs and inclination - no not really drugs, I don't do that shiz- I do plan on rewriting WISH into one proper book with the 4 planned stories consolidated and told by Patrick. This may or may not ever happen. Blame the kids. No, srsly, I work with kids and they take a lot of time.

NOTE TO MY MOST RECENT REVIEWER:

Hi Katie- since you're logged in as a guest I can't reply to you. Thanks for your reviews. There's no book- I got way sidetracked by real life and my work is just... more work than I ever imagined work could be! But I'll try my best to redo/rewrite/update something.
