"May the spirit of my voice rise upon gentle wings,

And across the sky take flight.

May the murmur of my little stream,

Sing sweetly into this vast ocean of life."

Hi! I'm an insecure and inconsistent writer, and I'm slowly getting better at both of those things! I'm always trying to better myself, so please let me know what you think and don't be afraid to criticize. I've noticed that I especially struggle with repetition in that I repeat everything from themes, to phrases, to sentence structure, and I want to keep it fresh and exciting for the reader. So please, let me know if something slips by my attention.

I'm currently writing both Forbearance and The Dark Lady which are loosely related in that they have the same OC and The Dark Lady is kind of a sequel to Forbearance, but it was my goal to have them be stand alone fics, so hopefully, it works out that way. I don't know why I find Tom Riddle so interesting, but I love the seemingly contradicting aspects of him, like how he can be so cruel and terrible and switch to charming and flattering whenever he feels like it. It's also interesting to try to guess who he would love and how he would go about it. It really challenges me as a writer, and capturing Voldemort with surprisingly little information on how he interacts with others is one of the hardest parts about these fics.

I've gotten better about updating them, and my goal right now is to add at least one chapter to either of them a month. Usually, I get bursts where I love them, so I write three to four chapters, then I edit them until I hate them, and take a break for awhile before I come crawling back. It feels very ambitious because I've never written a novel before, and now I'm here trying to write two at the same time, so we'll see if I can pull it off. I'm hoping to be done in the next year or so, so bear with me. :)

Updates:

Forbearance (Probably around mid January.)

The Dark Lady (To be determined)
