Hello! My name is Aly and I'm in my early 20s.

My passion is to write and dance. I like to play video games (LOVE my N64 and xbox 360, I also have a playstation 3 but I don't play it very often...)

While I'll try to keep posts consistent, I should note that I'm a university student so there might be times where I'll have to take "breaks" from writing.

Reviews are welcome, hint hint. Haha. Feel free to ask questions as well!!
I know I'm not the best writer and I'm sure there are a few things that I could improve on. If it's style or how to the story is going, I can't make it any better unless someone tells me, haha. Even some positive notes are welcome! It's nice to know that people are enjoying my stories and it could encourage me to write faster ;)

I'll be mentioning dances in my writing and I'll be providing links to those dances if any of you want the visual. You don't have to watch, but I think it's nice to be able to imagine what's happening.

06/26/2013: I am alive!! First of all, I just want to apologize for getting this chapter out so late... I thought I'd have more free time when I finished school but that's obviously not the case... Work is kicking my ass. So I feel like I barely have any free time to write. Secondly, I want to apologize again. I feel so bad for getting the third chapter out so late so I made it a little longer than usual. Forgive me? While I can't promise I will have the next chapter next week, I CAN promise that I'm not done with this story. I WILL finish it, even if it kills me. Which I hope it doesn't...
PS: I really wanted to get the chapter out asap, so I didn't proof read. I hope it isn't too bad...

04/09/2013: Yay! I finally posted the new story! I meant to post it yesterday but I was late with my editing that I figured I'd just post it this morning. I'm not nearly as far ahead into my writing as I would have hoped but I felt so bad about making you guys wait WAY longer than I meant to. I haven't finished chapter 2 yet so I'm not sure if I'll be able to make regular posts like I did with A Rare Gem. However, the semester is wrapping up so hopefully I'll have time to do my writing (fingers crossed). Again, I'm super sorry for not posting sooner, I've been super busy with school and my creative writing class was sucking the will to write. Super sad face. Anyways, enjoy and have a good week :)

03/04/2013: So A Rare Gem is officially completed. I will be posting the sequel sometime... Not sure when yet, but I'm aiming to have it posted within two weeks. What I can tell you is that the title will be "A Reason To Fight". I hope you've enjoyed A Rare Gem as much as I did, and I hope you'll stick around for the sequel. I love you all, and I thank you for reading and leaving reviews. If you have any questions please feel free to email me. Have a great week!

03/03/2013: (Haha, that date has all threes on the end. Yes I get easily amused...) So that I have officially posted the last chapter to A Rare Gem. I posted it early because I plan on posting the Epilogue tomorrow, the usual posting time. I want to thank all of you for reading A Rare Gem. I hope you liked it just as much as me. As I've said before, there will be a sequel. Although I don't know when I'll be posting it. I've started writing Chapter one. But I like to be a few chapters ahead as back up. PLEASE feel free to email me at just.pretty.words@ if you have any questions and stuff. I'd love to hear from you. Have an amazing weekend!!
