Author has written 8 stories for Twilight.

To Everybody That's Reading My Half-Finished/Barely Started Stories (of which there are plenty):

Hey guys. :)

I know it's been quite some time since I've done any updating and I've gotten quite a few pms and reviews asking when and if I plan to continue my fan fic. I wanted to give you guys a head's up without posting one of those author notes posing as a chapter. Soo... Right now, real life has me firmly clutched in its unescapable soul-crushing grasp. Honestly, when free time does roll around, my muse has long since abandoned me and my foul temper. I'm very slowly writing the next chapter of Calefaction; tacking on bits and pieces and editing when the mood strikes me and it's getting there slowly but surely. But I can't promise anything even remotely resembling a routine posting schedule (Unless I take some time off work and just finish Calefaction). However, I am not, by any means, abandoning any of my stories. Everything will be completed eventually, so add my stories to your alert list and eventually you will get that E-mail notification. :P

Thanks for sticking with me,

~Ex

The Basics:

29 married female from Minnesota, U.S.

I am a huge fangirl when it comes to all things Twilight, Harry Potter and World of Warcraft. (Combine them, and I'm essentially just a puddle of squee!) I'll read most any fics regarding these things, as long as they're well-written and don't involve baby-imprinting, vamp babies, or Jacob as the main love interest... You can take a peek at what I enjoy by looking at my favorites list. I've also recently become a huge KPop fan. Don't judge.

I've got a few completed one shots up, and far too many WiPs. I'm rewriting Brighter than Sunshine, and reworking Becoming a little bit. I try and stick to an updating schedule, but all of my good intentions tend to be smothered by real life, and my muse's fickle behavior; so the best I can do is tell you to subscribe to my stories' alerts. I can promise, at least, that if you're following along, and I haven't updated in a while, I will eventually. I'm not really one to give up on a story after having put so much work into it.

Like most writers on here, I love reviews! I don't mind the lurkers too much, cause it's nice to see my story alerts and favorites go up too, but it's always nice to hear what people think.

If you ever feel like chatting about my work, or ideas, or pretty much anything, feel free to drop me a pm. I've also recently started a Twitter account, narcissistic as it is. Mostly it's to creep on cute Korean pop stars, but I do have the ocassional thought that I post so feel free to drop by: ExploitReality

And to everyone that reads my stories, thank you so much. :)
