Hello to everyone who takes a look at this, names Shelly =]

I have some news here, I haven't updated in who know's how long [I'm avoiding counting the days, the guilt kills me] and I just wanted to let you know that I haven't given up on my story. Two reasons I haven't worked on my story: (1) Shortly after my last update I had to give up my internet. The payment on it was getting ridicules and the service wasn't as good as it was when I first got it. (2) Seeing how life can change just like that, I had some unwanted drama pop out of nowhere. Which I did try to escape by writing, so at least I could still update once I had internet service again, but of course, luck just doesn't go my way. Turns out my chapter didn't go the right way either and I deleted it. What happens next... WRITERS BLOCK... I never had it before, but man what a... grr :( lol any who...

But I do have some good news, I finally got me a new internet service and I started writing a chapter [a better one I hope]. Still in the clutches of The Evil W.B., but I believe I'm working my way out of it. I know what I wanna write, I just can't word it the right way to get it to work. So hopefully, sometime soon, I'm planning to update. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you know that whatever I might try to write a story about, I'm going to try my best to keep the characters in the story as "in character" as I can. If there are any changes to anything, it will only be from the setting and the events happening in my story.

I love romance and horror, which I'll try writing about, but romance will most likely be the main category my stories will be in. I haven't tried at the horror genre yet, so I'll have to see how that goes. Even if those two are my favorite groups of entertainment, I still want to try writing an action, mystery, (etc.), story.

Some of my favorite things to watch and the things I'll probably be trying to write about: Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, Supernatural, Criminal Minds, Scream, Death Sentence, Bleach, Wolf's Rain, X-Men, Halloween, Twilight (also include to the books)... Speaking of books, even though I've really got into reading them since about a year ago, there aren't really any that I have an idea to do a story on, so I'm just going to skip over them for now.

There are some meanings in the quotes and sayings below that I really like and might have a influence over some parts to my stories, depending on the setting that is. Oh yeah, another thing is, I believe in the whole 'true love' and 'your soul mate is out there looking for you, like you're looking for them' thing. Lol just a warning to anyone who reads this, you'll be able to tell when I have more stories up.

Instead, they get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy to get. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they are amazing! They have to wait for the right guy to come along. The one who is brave enough to climb to the top of the tree!"
