Author has written 1 story for Romance.

8th November 2008

Hi. It's been a while since I've logged onto fp. And the new traffic thing they have is sooo cool but upon realisation that people are still reading my fic has made the guilt much worse. I am no longer employed and on the verge of completing my 1st degree. So, I am hoping to be inspired in the next coming months to start writing again. I really do miss it. However, I am going to Europe for most of the summer...yay... and then I will be starting Medicine. So another 4 years of serious study. I think my dirt poor, nigel status will probably work in our favour and I'll be able to muster up a chapter or few. With the way my life has been going right now, I currently believe that anything is possible. Yes, that includes finishing Misfortunes eventually. And also finally start writing another story.

23rd March 2008

Ok. I remember saying that I was going to finish Misfortunes by 2008. And clearly that has not been the case. I'm horrible. Time for writing is severely limited and the stuff that I have come up with isn't really up to par. I think I was way more creative when I was still in high school. I'm still surprised that I even remember the storyline I had planned. I know, excuses excuses. I really am sorry about the severe lack of updating, and I'm still amazed, and extremely flattered that people are still reading this, it makes me feel even worse. I don't plan on giving up because my muse comes to me at random times, and I'm determined to finish this...eventually. Study and work are my priorites at the moment. Hopefully, the next time you hear from me (if anyone actually reads this) would be in the form of a chapter.


CLAIMER: Any original fiction that I write is owned by me! Plagiarizing and using my story/s without permission/consent will get you into BIG BIG trouble!

In progress...

MISFORTUNES: My first original fic. Four years and counting...it will be finished...hopefully before 2008. I should just mention that's a pretty huge goal for me. I've estimated that this will be a thirty chapter story. It will definitely not exceed 35 chapters.

In the works...

QUEEN OF HEARTS: It's my first 'chunky'/complex story, a fantasy, with romance and action/adventure thrown into the mix. It's going to be a challenge, which makes it more exciting for me to write. I've only written the prologue and a little bit of the first chapter so far. Summary: Zachary is a mercenary hired to kidnap the mysterious heir to the throne of Rowan. Saving the world and falling for the stubborn princess wasn't part of the deal.
