ATTN ALL READERS! I am pretty far into writing a novel, which is why my update status has been horrible. I'm so unbelievably sorry about that. I want to keep writing L/J, but I feel like I need to work on this novel and get it done. It's hard enough to write because of my job and college, but I'm hoping to get back to Here With Me. I want to finish it. If I do complete it, it will most likely be rushed and not do a complete story arc. Probably just three or so more chapters to get to graduation. I am determined to finish Here With Me and I will eventually. I promise. Anyway, about my novel, I'm having issues with the main character. I feel like she's too hard to understand and I haven't explained her right. So if anyone would be interested in reading the Prologue and Chapter One for me to give me extreme criticism, please message/email me! Remember that these are extremely rough so they won't be novel quality, but I need a pair of fresh eyes to look over it all. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, all your comments are so helpful to my writing.

Checklist of Projects

-Hogsmeade Kiss (complete)
-Alternate Ending to Hogsmeade Kiss (complete)
-Here With Me (currently underway)
-Story with Lily and James watching Harry through his life, various scenes from books and life with Dursley's (heavily considering ditching the idea)
-One-shot Sirius and Remus going to James and Lily's graves following GoF (unsure if I should write it)
-Funny one-shot of Harry finding a Horcrux (partly written, on hold)
-Short story with James and Lily in the summer before their 7th year (currently being planned)
-Possible story about Marauder Era based off information from Deathly Hallows (heavily considering ditching the idea)

Full Summaries of Stories

--Hogsmeade Kiss: Prequel to the Harry Potter series. It starts in the Marauders 6thyear and goes to the fateful night in October where Harry Potter became a hero and Lily and James became mere ghosts of the past. This story is about them. Beginning Pre-OotP and all Pre-HBP. Please Review!
--Alternate Ending to Hogsmeade Kiss: On October 31st, 1981, what if James Potter remembered his vision with his best friend in a ratty prison uniform? What if Remus Lupin remembered his kidnapping in the Forbidden Forest? What if Sirius Black realized the truth about Peter Pettigrew, before it was too late? What if Lily Potter never sacrificed herself to save Harry? An alternate ending written remorsefully for the readers of Hogsmeade Kiss.
--Just the Girl: Just a goofy one shot that was supposed to be the opening scene for my love hate story, and I completely forgot about it until I was in the middle of planning the other story and had a better opening than this one, which is just a tad too out there. Begins with Lily rejecting James yet again, read and review!
--Here With Me: He thought she hated him. She thought she was just bragging rights. He kept missing his chances. She was running away scared. A story of love that follows Lily and James from 6th year until graduation. Pre-DH. R/R!
--In Privacy: One shot set after BD. Nessie is just full grown and romance enters her life. Unfortunately, Bella has to watch her daughter go through the same thing she went through when she was human. Written for a contest. R&R!
--Next 100 Years: “Time ain’t nothing but time. It’s a verse with no rhyme and it all comes down to you…And you, you know that it’s true. After all we’ve been through, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do.” – Next 100 Years by Bon Jovi. A story of what happens during the 100 years after Breaking Dawn ends.

There are many reasons why it's taking me so long to update and the reason I haven't really started any of the stories on my checklist of projects.

1) I have a job.

2) I'm in college, and will be transferring to a 4 year university this fall.

3)I am very far into writing a novel, and still need to finish it then edit the daylights out of it.

Sorry it's taking me forever to put up anything, I have a lot more on my plate than I did my freshman year of high school when I started writing. I don't want to give this up, it's a nice, relaxing, and comforting hobby for me. I feel very at home writing about Lily and James and it's almost effortless. Plus I love all the reviews I get, good and bad. Reviews always inspire me to keep at it, so if you want more, review!!
