My husband introduced me to anime in 2001, followed by Detective Conan, and InuYasha. Since then I've grown a deep appreciation for the art. I love you, Tony.

My father always told me that he specially requested me from God. That always made me feel special. When they told us we couldn't have a son, I asked God for a little red-headed boy. God provided. Now I tell him that I specially requested him from God.

1 Jan 2011 I still haven't had time to write but I want to. Meanwhile I am enjoying reading everyone else's works. happy new year

5 nov 11 I'm reading still. haven't thought of anything to write.

26 Feb 2012--Life is good. I love my career. FanFiction is my hobby. But my family is the best.

4 Nov 12-- I have gotten to the point I only read the complete pieces because so many writers stop and never finish their works. My philosophy about FanFiction is to just write what you want, and practice your writing skills. Developing plots, describing scenes, making believable characters, those are all things to practice. I have read many stories that just stop because the writer isn't getting enough feedback. That's sad. We have to pat ourselves on the back sometimes. Not everyone can take the time to stop and comment. Self confidence comes from believing in yourself.

7 Mar 13--Life is good. I still have a great job and family and I'm still reading stories.

6 Feb 14 information to share--research for my story Dumb

“To date, we have committed nearly US$2 billion in malaria grants. We have also committed more than US$1.4 billion to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which supports the expanded use of proven prevention and treatment tools for malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis. Beyond our own direct investments in the fight against malaria, we also advocate for sustained and increased funding of malaria control and elimination efforts by donor governments and endemic countries.”

4 Jan 2015--Happy New Year!

I'm changing my pen name to Gayle Nightingale. I like that better.

4 July 2015 Happy 4th of July! I read but haven't published in awhile. I'm working on my own book but have writer's block. Many things going on in my life, but still time to read.

28 Dec 2016 Enjoying family time and movies. reading good stories. also have some stories on adult fan fiction.

April 2018. I wrote “Ever Us” two years ago and posted it on the Adult Ff site. But honestly I wasn’t happy with it. So I revised it and put it on the FF site. Now I’m forced to look back at my words from Nov 12 where I commented that you have to pat yourself on the back and not worry about no reviews. I am now seeing that from a different perspective. Even a thumbs up or a smiley face would give the writer an idea if a writer was on the right track with a story. Sure I still believe we need to be self confident but feedback does help.

Regardless I like the AU I made for the Inu bros and I’d like to add to it. Just short of ideas at the moment. My husband wonders why I like Inuyasha still after 20 years have pasted. I guess it’s because it was well written and the story is timeless. Good vs bad, friendship development, love interests and well developed characters plus Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are just SEXY!

Dec 2018. I’m still here. send me an idea if you want for the Ever Us series. I want to continue it.

Feb 2019. BTW Kusanagi is the legendary sword of the Japanese Emperor. There are Japanese folk tales about it.

8 Oct 19 Regarding reviewing: One of my challenges is to ensure what I see in my head gets translated to words. A picture is worth 1000 words they say. One of the joys of feedback to me is seeing how close I've come to achieving that goal or how someone has seen it in their mind.
