My Writing Style Note: I write with a style that I have come to stick with, expecially when I use SesshoMaru and InuYasha with the capital in their names. I am not gonna change it, because I like it that way and it's going to stay. That's my trademark. As well gender-bending is my infamous trademark, I have tendency to change some of the character's gender to suit my pairing liking since I am a Christian and I avoid yaoi and yuri. You can see, Cloud Strife is Cloud Sorano Strife in my stories as well sometime, I change Harry Potter to a girl with potion accidental. _ Enjoy.

Yeah... yeah... I know... I know. I haven't updated anything in a while. So sorry. I found myself with huge writer's block and am trying to chip it away by working on my novel little by little. Turned out my novel which is based off from Road to Damascus was one big jumble of web in my mind and I couldn't get it straightened out so I had been working untangling that one huge web, rearranging everything in my mind, onto papers, and many doucment files. My husband downloaded freemind for me and it was a cool program (free too) where I could straighten out ideas, notes, plotlines and many more. The story is now halfway untangled and I also struggled to write the first chapter. I couldn't decide how to introduce it because I really, really want to snag, hook and grab the people to read it by the first line. I think, after taking a good look at my 'Seven Days' opening, I think I caught a clue how to do it. Now I need to buff the first part of the chapter before I could continue because the first chapter really open up a huge web of story just with few things.

I have about half of Caledonia Lilia Snape chapter done but still I haven't gotten around to finishing it. I feel a bit stumped with this story. I am holding my promise to finish this story.

I swear with all of my heart that I will finish these stories :

Caledonia Lilia Snape

Final Quest

Road to Damascus

I have to abandon some stories because I just don't have time and am so busy with real life. I would like to finish them someday but not this year. Thank you for your patience, favoring and reviews. Hugs!

I am stumped. I need a feedback about writing something, rather a tip on character's perspective. Generally, I am stuggling with this writing issue, it's a block sitting in my way from continuing to write. I don't know how I managed it in Road to Damascus, but now, I find it almost impossible for me to do it for a different story. Having a main character with few sub-main characters. I don't like to have the story stuck in one view but have different perspective from other characters from time to time and it's so difficult when it comes to the gender issue where the reader know one's true gender while the rest of the characters doesn't. How do I do this? x hitting herself on the head over and over x GAH! (the whole issue here is because I am trying to write an original novel that are based/inspired by Road to Damascus)

I'm trying to get back to finishing the next chapter for Caledonia Lilia Snape... I realized I need to reread Half Blood Prince again so I can remember my idea.

I'm trying!

Thanks for your encouragement... though it may be few but they're enough to push me forward a little bit.

It's been a quiet a while... I've been so busy in Alaska and I barely find myself on my laptop for no more than 10 minutes a day. I no longer have the job that allowed me to be on the computer for good few hours and I am missing that time I had. But I'm moving on... Summertime is here and the weather is so beautiful and nice here in Alaska, I am finding myself exploring the state of Alaska beyone the city of Anchorage. I had gone to Talkeenta today and enjoyed the day.

I've read Twilight series, all four books in less than a week recently and found to like it. I would give it a rating of 7 out of 10. There are few things I could change in that story myself but then again, whatever floats Stephanie Meyer's boat. I got my own novel to write and I realize I need to work on the first three chapters to make it hook-line-sinker kind of story. I am sure I can do that.

I got a new job and won't be starting until Mid-July and am using my freedom now until then to travel around Alaska with my family and friends. I can forsee that I will travel to Fairbanks, Sewards and possibly Homer. I love it here in Alaska and its nearly impossible to isolate at home and not go out at all!

I had been encountered with sistuation that is not my own but aware of it that made me think twice about my stories and arts. I am going to be attempting to come around soon to remove the maturity theme from my stories and knock the rating down so all my stories will be no more than T rating. I will be removing the sex scenes and swearings, etc. from all of the stories posted here. I no longer will represent that part of the world. I also will be buckling down and removing stories that I will not be able to finish and put it away in the vault forever.

Thank you for your patience and support. I will try to attempt to finish my stories I have here. Your supports are greatly appreciated, once again, thanks.

Finally my husband got me microsoft expression web 2 and I was able to start working on some of my website (due to all of my webpage data was lost from suspension on the host server) I was able to recreate a new homepage and got the layout and everything down, but not 100 percent yet. I am also reconstructing Road to Damascus Chronicle, almost 85 of the site was lost and I had like two pages on this laptop and I was able to reconstuct most of the site around the two pages. I had the older version of the RTD site, if some of you remembered it, was bright blue and dark blue (before I turned it to netural gray color) and was working on it from the blue ones and the two gray ones to restore it. Two pages are lost (the dictionary and rank pages) until I am able to restore it from the harddrive (where the real back up is). I don't know when I will upload them but I am trying to get more than 95 percents of my homepage (including road to damascus chronicle) done before the upload day. I am inching slowly in finishing some stuff and using my motivation to get most of the unfinished project done. My goal is to get this done before mid June, I start working again in Mid July.

I don't know yet when I will get around to working on Caledonia Lilia Snape... every time I look at HP6 and I keep reminding myself to pick up that book and read it so I can finish CLS. So sorry!

Thank you for your reviews and support as well your infinate patience. _ Thank you again! You could whack me up in reviews and get me motivated by telling me to get my butt moving! The more people pushes me, I might get something done. (yeah, that's a subtile hint)

HUGS!
