{You must stay drunk on writing so that reality cannot destroy you.}

Hello, dear.

First off, I'd like to thank anyone who has taken the time to read my stories. I know they aren't the greatest things in the world, but I really am trying very hard to improve them. So thank you for your continued patience. And also a giant thanks to anyone who has left a review or sent me a message. That kind of encouragement is what really keeps me writing. I just like knowing that someone out there enjoys what I am doing.

Also, I would like to apologize. Perhaps you have noticed by now that I am somewhat of a procrastinator. I have several projects going on at the same time and I switch back and forth between them. First I will be so excited to work on one story, and then by the next few chapters, I have switched to something else. This makes it very difficult to post new chapters of anything. So I'm very sorry if it is several months before I find the enthusiasm to continue the particular story that you like.

Anyways ...

Message me if you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns. Or if you just want to talk. Getting feedback is one of my favorite things about writing and I can never get enough.

Thanks again!

I, Jessica, have challenged myself. I'm proud to be part of the Harry Potter Fanfiction Challenges Forum!
