Update from Allura Arwen: Hey, everyone! No, as far as I can tell I'm still living & breathing (until the Good Lord decides to take me home). I hope & pray that is a ways off though. _ Anyway, I'm basically posting this little memo so that everyone will know I'm still here. It's just hard to sit down & write lately. More of a writer's block than anything else. I had started working on chapter 12 of my Yugioh GX fic, but I automatically ended up hating it! It just didn't sound or feel right. Then I had nasty virus attack my computer & I almost lost everything on my computer. Fortunately one of the things I lost was chapter 12. (If I didn't loose it, then it's hiding somewhere in a folder I don't know about.) Anyway, as I said this is actually a fortunate thing. It means I get to start chapter 12 from scratch. I apologize because I know this means it will take me longer to post chapter 12. I think the new chapter will be better than the previous version... as in waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better! Anyway, until next time, take care, peace out, & God bless! -

To read a bit of my original story (that's slowly coming together) visit my profile for Fictionpress: Allura Arwen's original fiction

Occupation: college grad (after what feels like centuries), writer (not professionally, but I like writing as a hobby. --Creative writing was my major, so surprise, surprise, right?)

Random tidbit: I draw inspiration for a my writings sometimes through the music I listen to.

Favorite book: ... Do I have to choose just one? Well,... uh, I like most books by Lori Wick. One of hers that I really, REALLY like is The Knight and the Dove.

Song I'm listening to right now: "Hero" as performed by Bethany Dillon.

Dislikes: I do not like yaoi or yuri pairings (boy/boy or girl/girl pairings). I'm not going to bash anyone who does, but please just know that I no like. It just does not appeal to me. There's some other things too, but I'm too lazy to list them all.

Story stats:

"The Smallest Elf" - This story is on hold until I can read more of the books.

"Do You Really Love Me?" - Chapter 12 in progress. I'm swamped with work & real life in general. I'm also working on some original stories I hope to get published, so please bear with me.

I hope everyone is doing well. Until the next time I update either of my stories, peace out, & God bless!
