Holy smokes, almost a year since I wrote in here last. . .that's really sad and a bit depressing. The main thing that made me get on here and write was a review from

pixielax06, who asked this of me in my story, Harry Potter and the Master's Mirror:

"when are you going to post your sequel?
or have you given up on it because its been over a year?"

First off, thanks for reviewing and asking me that. Now to answer the question: The
main reason I haven't been on is two-fold.

1) My computer went on the fritz for
the entire school year. Thus I was not able to update in any way, shape or form. My
roomie wasn't exactly enthusiastic about my using her computer and the computers in
the lab wouldn't load my documents.

2) As far as HP and the MM's sequel goes, it's not done yet. This past year I've been
working on several works of fiction, all of which have taken first priority. However,
that is not to say that I've forgotten about HP's sequel. Indeed, it's still sitting in my
computer waiting for me to finish. The story is all in my head, from beginning to end.
I've just got to sit down and finish it. You would ask, well couldn't you just post it while
you're writing it? Nope. I can't. It's impossible for me. I need it to be perfect and I don't
want to post it before it's completely done just in case I screw something up or come up
with a new idea.

So there it is. I've also been working on several HP shorts to tide everyone over, but
sadly, one of them was taken off the net for some odd reason. The reason for taking
"Remember When it Rained" off the net was:

Main reason for removal: "Not allowed: interactive, chat/script, real person,
mst, and etc."

Now, those of you who had the chance to read it, know that this WASN'T so. . .but they
haven't written me back in my questioning of this issue. So I shall try my hardest to get things
back to the way they were, a.k.a with my appearing on here every once and a while and
with a new story for you all.

Here's to my trying! I'm sorry to all of you whom I've kept waiting. . .I guess I had thought
a good deal of you had given up on me already.

Love you all!

T.H.W.

"It’s like in the great stories. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something...That there’s some good in this world. And it’s worth fighting for." ~Samwise Gamgee, The Two Towers
