So... uhm... I haven't been on very much and I haven't spoken to any of you in a very long while. I actually kinda wonder if any of you actually remember how we met. xD I mean some of us met off-site so... I dunno why I'm writing this journal, I'm just bored. Uhm... Well a lot has happened and I'm handling it. I don't have much muse to write short stories for here anymore, I don't even actively use my Wattpad, which I should start doing. But I have so much happening... Such as settling into yet another new house, I've moved around quite a bit, uhm... I'm in university now, so that's a plus, and it's been keeping me busy, I have a lot of projects in the works and I'm now an official editor/co-writer with one of my friends which is pretty cool I guess. I am in the middle of setting up another dA account but I don't know since I don't really write much for online publishing... I may re-write or move some of my works from here onto that account. Uhm... I guess when I'm set up I might start using everything again and set up a timetable and stick to it. Uhm... So... I hope to see many of you again, a lot of you helped me through some pretty tough times, and I appreciate that and I'm sorry that we've lost contact all this time, but I'm a lot happier now. 

I just want to take a moment to gloss over a few things:

I've Learnt
I Write
I Edit

I've learnt
 The essence of patience and how to be patient
 How to stand on my own, but still have someone by my side
 To keep calm
 To just be me and do what I do
 To not let anyone get me down no matter what
 To keep trying and keep getting up no matter how many times or how much I fall

I write
 Short stories
 Novels
 With a partner
 Still my general styles with new characters and new stories

I edit
 My friend's stories
 Anyone who wants an editor
 Anyone who wants a cross-editor
 For free, no payment, just the satisfaction of seeing a piece of work grow

And hopefully you'll all see me active again, one day.

Dear Deviants,

As some of you know, things are wibbly-wobbly for me at the moment. I have muse but my skill in writing seems to be lacking it's usual flair. Almost like I've lost interest and that's because at the moment I have problems. I'm not enjoying school as much as I did, I can't read as much as I like or used to, I can't write as well as I used to, I'm growing up which makes it even harder...everything is just a mess and a web at the moment. Hopefully this will all be over soon.

Yours,

Dear Deviants,

I'm here but I'm not here

I've had a major writing blank...I mean...like you've seen my style of writing so it's like fantasy adventure kind of...but I'm trying a semi-new style. We all love Disney and Pixar and Dreamworks movies/stories right? Fairytales take us back to the early depths of our childhood when we believed in monsters under our beds or dragons were real.

I am trying to move away from my fantasy adventure style a bit and try a fairytale...only thing is, I have no idea how...I mean there's so many movies I've watched and so many stories I've heard I could write one...and I could....if I knew how to go about it. I know I need a good and an evil and obstacles that are the polar opposite to what the character believes...I know there's gotta be magic and a prince or prince-like (in personality) character and most of all...a moral/a belief/a virtue...but thing is how to go about creating these things....what belief should I choose?

So with these thoughts in mind, I've been coming up with a few different ideas, a few different experiment and I have some ideas, but I just thought I'd tell you guys that this is the reason I've been away and will be away for a bit. I still pop on every now and again to check out the art you guys upload but with exploring different styles of writing and different story ideas I'll be dead-ish a little bit longer

Yours Faithfully
