... but if you look at me closely, you will see it in my eyes, this girl will always find her way ...

A/N: Some bad news. Usually when I don't have the time to read and/or review a story, I leave the alert in my email's inbox so I can go back to it when I have time. Unfortunately, my email decided to go bonkers on my yesterday and deleted almost my entire inbox. The last email I have from this website is dated September 27th. So if you updated any of your stories since then that I usually review, please notify me immediately. If you have reviewed/favorited/alerted any of my stories since then and I have not thanked you or responded properly, I apologize. It is not my fault and I had every intention of getting to every one ... eventually. Sorry for the inconvienence, but hey, shit happens.

Hey!

The name's Sassybratt, or Sassy. Whatever.

I am 18 years old and I'm just an average girl with an average life.

A few of my favorite television shows: InuYasha, Bleach, Charmed, the CSI's, Southland, Heroes, Cold Case, Bones, Leverage, Without A Trace, Trauma, and Family Guy.

I absolutely LOVE to read! I finish books within hours. My favorite book would have to be The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen. It holds a special place in my heart. My favorite series would definitely be Twilight.

Music is a huge part of my life. Bands/Singers I've seen in concert: 3 Doors Down, Hinder(2), Staind, Jet Black Stare, Saving Abel(2), Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift, Nickelback(2), Plain White T's, Lifehouse, Papa Roach, and Sarah Mclachlan. I hope to add many more as I have a wide variety of favorites.

I happen to be one of those girls who loves video games. I own almost every system ranging from Super Nintendo to the XBox 360. Some of my favorite games: L4D, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Spyro, CoD, the Sims, Nancy Drew, Resident Evil, and Earthbound.

My Promise: I refuse to cancel or discontinue my stories. Every piece I start is destined to be finished within a decent amount of time. I'm not one for leaving my readers hanging for a year before an update.

If you want to know more about me, feel free to email or message me. I'd love to hear from you!

Quote I live by:

You were only given this life because you're strong enough to live it. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes things fall apart so other things can fall together, but in the end, whats meant to be, will always find a way ...

IMPORTANT-IMPORTANT-IMPORTANT

December 1st: Hello, fellow readers. Finals are coming up, meaning less time to write. Not to mention the Christmas holiday has got me booked with decorating, festivities, and gift-buying. I haven't been able to touch any of my fics for at least a week. My great aunt recently passed away as well, so the family is trying to cope with that. Work is still annoying as ever. As a result: I'm quite busy. But don't worry, I still plan on uploading a Christmas one-shot soon (I recently sent the rough draft to my beta). However, there is some bad news. Originally I had planned to finish up Speak before the new year, but with everything going on, I'm not sure if that's possible anymore. I've had little time to work on it over the past two weeks. If I manage my time VERY wisely, I might be able to meet my deadline. Winter vacation is coming up the week of December 14th, so that will help my time management tremendously. We'll see where it takes me. Anyways, thank you for all the support and reviews asking me to update. I'm ecstatic to hear that you enjoy my stories so much. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. :)

I would like to thank a HUGE fan for her truthful insight on the matter of the latest chapter of Speak. I know it is definitely not my best and I dislike it with passion, but I am leaving it up. However, since I want to make up for that chapter with the final two, I need some time to allow my inspiration and creative muse to recharge. Speak has so far taken interest of a great majority of my readers and I would hate to see it fall so close to the end.

The InuYasha anime has returned. I've been watching the episodes of the last season: The Final Act. Subtitles only at this point. The animation is a little different and the story line is going to be rushed a bit, but hopefully we can count on them to keep it together to make the ending right. If you want to watch it, search for it on Hulu.com. Enjoy.

Small note about any sequels to my currently completed stories: I've gotten a few reviews over the past couple of months, asking if I could add a sequel to Love's Sacrifice. The answer is no. I am currently too involved with future pieces to have any time to return and create a sequel for that story, or for any of them. There is only one I am considering making a companion piece to for the moment, and that is Wilted Petals. Anything else will stay complete the way it is. Thank you, though, for enjoying my work so much as to want the story to be continued. It is very much appreciated.

Next Update: Somewhere Beyond This - Chapter 16
