I don't strive to be a great writer, only a good storyteller C:

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

Although my writing is on par to that of your average high schooler, I am actually quite older... :C

1/26/14: With the date marking one year since I last updated LaOD, I just want to add a little note here to say that I have not made any progress with the story, and I think you should expect to see neither hide nor hair of the story any time soon. If you have been MIA and did not have the opportunity to read my last profile update, the gist of it is that I got a new computer and the files on my old computer went 'poof!' because stupid old me forgot to backup the data. I outlined all 36 chapters of LaOD back in 2009 when I started the story and with all of my outlines gone, the problem I currently have is that I am suddenly left with an encrypted plot but no master key to decode it - I hope that makes sense, because I don't know how else to put it. As of this moment, LaOD is on indefinite hiatus. I don't want to do this to you guys, but I have to. For my own sanity. The more burned out I am over the story, the harder it'll be for me to write. I do want to finish it, I really do. Just let me do it at my own pace. This means my next update could be three or nine months from now, or even three or four years from now. However long it takes, I will finish the story. If you are still here at that time, then yay. But if you are not, I shall miss you.

I hope to finish Words and ALA by 2015.

Also, I rarely use FFN nowadays, unless it's to update. If you send me PMs, they do go to my email inbox, but because I usually check my emails on my phone, the process of logging in and replying on FFN mobile site isn't exactly to my liking and so I often don't reply right away...and then a period of time passes by and I just forget about it. If you would really like to get in touch with me for whatever reason, even if it's to chat, email me at aesha.xo@gmail.com ... much faster replies C:

And please know, I do read each and every single one of your reviews. Reading a review is always one of the highlights of my day, and I want you guys to know I'm extremely grateful. Nowadays I don't reply often enough to reviewers (same reason as PM), and I'm really sorry for that. I suck, I know :C

2/09/14: So there's a poll asking if you all would oppose a rewrite of LaOD.

4/01/14: Okay, so important news--I've taken off 'What Are Words' (no, this isn't a joke for April's Fool). If you recall, Words was requested and dedicated to my friend, Jenna. I've mentioned before that the premise of the story was came up by Jenna and given to me as an impromptu challenge. Well, Jenna would like to take the premise and write her own original story for publication, and so as a courtesy to her, I'm sending Words to the graveyard. While the story was mine, the premise for it had belonged to Jenna all along; I think it is only fair. To the many of you who reviewed, favorited and followed the story: I hope you will find it in you to understand my decision. To Jenna, best wishes and I'm super duper excited for you! x3
