As of today, I will indefinitely be pulling away from reading and writing fanfiction. I've enjoyed the sense of community you all have offered and the support for my work but it's time to move on.

I never thought I'd be able to withdraw from the fanfiction world but God has helped me to break the addiction (yes, it really was an addiction) that I'd been held in for more than fifteen years. It took me farther than I should have gone regarding subject matter, which is hard to escape in this digital age, and kept me much longer than I should have stayed. Even with filters, there will always be those that slip through, especially if you aren't on your guard anyway.

Before I go though, I will share something I hope at least one person will be able to take in.

Where will you spend eternity?

"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." -Revelation 20:15

There is an alternative.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16

1. EVERYONE IS A SINNER.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" -Romans 3:23

2. SIN HAS A TERRIBLE PENALTY.

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." -Romans 6:23

3. JESUS PAID THE PENALTY FOR YOU.

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8

4. BELIEVE IN HIM, TRUST IN HIM.

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." -Romans 10:9,13

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." -Acts 16:31

SALVATION IS FREE.

There is no working your way to heaven or being a "good" person. You must believe in Jesus Christ and ask Him to save you. Simple, to the point and the greatest gift you will ever receive. We always try to make things complicated but God's love for us is so simple and easy to accept.

Thanks for taking the time to read my stories especially if you took the time to review. It really means a lot to have feedback. I wish you all the best.

God Bless You!

So...it's been a while. And my life changed drastically. Also, I found out I have ADHD which explains A LOT.

Last January my mother became ill and passed away three weeks later. She was my best friend so it was an especially hard hit. Then a month later my younger brother had a stroke. I've become his caretaker though it's more like having a tween than anything. He has recovered a lot in the past year but there are some issues, physically and mentally, that are less likely to ever heal.

I also left the library for a full time position that pays more and is more flexible with my schedule. I never thought I'd switch jobs but God always surprises us with our path in life. My current boss offered me the job out of the blue at the end of a meeting for business she was handling for us. I was shocked and immediately thought I'd never take her up on it. But I asked God for clarity and to guide my decision and he delivered. He always knows what we'll need before we do and provides. It's truly amazing.

Consequently, there is very little time for me to relax let alone write. I have small spurts where I'll type up a storm but it's few and far between. It's not helped by the ADHD medicine shortage and my brain not working to it's full capability.

Anyway, I just wanted to catch everyone up on my chaotic life. I appreciate your kind reviews so much. I just wrote a story I wanted to read and you all have embraced it. Thank you!

So I decided to revamp my profile and it looks pretty sparse in comparison. I had some health issues that kept me from doing much of anything for a while but I'm back and have a new job at a library. Life is pretty great at the moment (an income will do that for you lol).

My Twilight fanfiction isn't great (I'm very aware of that) and Pain's Devastation especially is rough. I had a whole plan of how I wanted to wrap it up but I rushed through to just have it finished and off my mind. One day I may go back and edit it but for now I just can't. Twilight just isn't as big a draw for me as it was back in my younger days.

I have a lot of stories in the works, mostly HP and Merlin, but who knows when I'll post any of them. Sometimes I have inspiration to type forever and others it's just dead and not gonna happen. I was pretty proud to get my first HP fic out there and I'm working on the next chapter for that right now. It should be out soon as most of it's written just needs some additions here and there and to be polished. I hope you enjoy it.

Anyway, I'm a bit loopy at the moment but I hope you enjoy my work and message me if you have any questions.
