So first things first, I have been an active member on Fanfiction for a long, long, long, time now but was going by another penname - Sarazz Prime - and operating a different account that I plan to retire very soon just because I feel as though I've completely outgrown it as a writer and have branched off in a completely different direction with my writing and subject focus. While I know it would be easy to simply just delete a lot of the stories that I've written over the years and have shared with the countless readers who have been so kind in giving my material their time to read, enjoy, and review; it just doesn't seem right and would leave me feeling guilty I guess, or maybe even pathetic in some sense. I think what's keeping me from deleting my original account with my stories that seemed to have spring-boarded me into a rather decent writer is that I feel as though I would be trying to erase my past as if I were ashamed of it I suppose. There is one story from my old account that I will be transferring over to this one and that would be my Gears of War piece - Gears of War: Hope Runs Deep - as I have become severely attached to finishing it since it has become apart of the genre of writing I've taken quite a liking to and have begun to invest a decent amount of time in.

I do apologize to everyone that has been following my other author name for so long and hopefully you will have seen my update on that account that I will be posting very shortly to update everyone as to what is going on. There's been a lot of HUGE changes that have occured in my life over the past couple of years and for my own personal reasons theres a lot of things that I feel like I have to change and redo just to shake the feeling of letting the past keep me stuck and dragging along when I so very much wanna move forward and further on into my future endeavors. I only hope there's understanding by those who may have felt as though I abandoned a lot of my pieces and don't care for them.

ONWARD AND FORWARDS TOWARDS THE FUTURE!

"Let me tell you something you already know, the world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how you can hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you, no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son, you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life." - Rocky Balboa
