New News 9.22

I know it's been another month since I've posted a chapter but I've been swamped with homework. I'm finally starting to make sense of this whole back-to-school thing and getting into the habit of writing again. Please be patient with me if I don't upload for weeks at a time but I really do try to post as often as I can and write when I have the chance (and of course, inspiration).

Meanwhile, the reviews are incredibly helpful and I seem to be getting a bunch of new readers ;) Not sure if the people who read the story before my month-long breaks are still reading it...I promise I'll try to keep less than 2 weeks in between uploads, but that might be difficult during the school year.

The Facebook fan page is doing rather well. Of course, I wasn't expecting a storm of people to join, but if anyone who has a Facebook is interested, I'd love it if you joined =)

Soo, I've given up on trying to fix the PhotoBucket links and I have directions to get to the album where the link used to be...I've added pictures of Josh, Ryan, and some of Kyle and Alexis =)

Once again, thanks to everything for every single review :) I love replying to them!

Fire and Ice ~ Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've seen of desire

I hold it with those to favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

In so many ways, when someone reads something I've written, they're finding out so much more about me than they realize. My writing, like any author's writing, is so personal to me and though I have my rough spots, I put most everything I have into what I write. For me, there is nothing more expressive than writing. When you read my stories, you're seeing a side of me you may never see in real life. Therefore, if you wish to find out more about me, I suggest you keep an open mind and heart and simply read. I promise you won't be disappointed :)
