My Characters from my current story Journey with more to come soon

Erosa: A young orphan girl destined to save the Disney world, there is more to her than it seems as the story progresses.

Xelar: An orphan boy who must save the Disney kingdom, an incredible thing about him will be discovered in Journey.

Commentary regarding Journey:

Over the last few years, I've been extremely busy with assignments, tests and other everyday life stuff that I haven't been able to update on the story at all. However, I refuse to completely give up on this story which has never been far from my mind, even today. As time passed, I came up with a couple of new ideas that would help further develop the main storyline, characters, adventures, etc.

Also to note: After re-reading Chapter 1 which I uploaded in 2008, I'm somewhat embarrassed by how it turned out, noticing a number of mistakes in terms of writing style and failure to properly describe characters, settings, etc. So sometime soon, I'll remove the current chapter and work on a new chapter that should turn out more satisfying and detailed than the previous one. Hopefully as well, when I'm not too busy, I'll find the time to write the following chapters which will be uploaded ASAP in the preceding months.

Until then, to all who liked the story and for those who took the time to review, I really appreciate your compliments (thank you very much) and rest assured that this story will indeed continue, so keep an eye out for new chapters for it's only just beginning .

Update

For many months now, I've been working on a new story to mark the 10th anniversary of a favourite Disney movie. I've done intense story research and written down the main plot with chapter ideas though actual writing of the story has been delayed due to uni work and other responsibilities.

Well, chapter 1 has just been uploaded in the Brother Bear category; will try to upload the remaining chapters soon.

P.S: Still haven't given up on Journey, I will upload the chapters though it may take some time plus I'm currently in the workings of a spin-off story which I'm very excited about, I won't reveal anything until Journey is finished but let's just say it's a love story cross-over between 2 well-known albeit underappreciated characters ;)

Update 2

Since the last update, major changes in my life have prevented me from working on my stories but I can assure that I haven't 100% given up on the stories and it is my hope that in the time when I'm not super busy, I'll be able to tell the stories that I should have tried to finish ages ago.

That's me and I hope that you'll enjoy reading & reviewing my stories.
