Thanks for stopping by - I hope I'll be around for a bit longer this time ;) I know I'm writing better than I was a year ago, but my talent still isn't quite "there" and that's been bothering me. I guess that's why they say practice makes perfect, right?

I decided to put it away and after JuNo this year, I am going to start over again and I'm pretty excited because I write so much better now then I did a year ago and its a great story.
