 Bio |
6/28/08: I am sure many of you are wondering why my stories seem to thrive with bursts of updates and then languish with long periods of dryness. The reason for this is quite simple: I am in between my third and fourth (final) years of undergraduate coursework, so during the semesters from approximately late August to December and late January to May, I have very little time for creative writing. This is compounded by the fact that I have been working on preliminaries for my thesis for quite some time now, which I will be working extensively on in the coming year. I also will be applying to several PhD programs across the country, and then hopefully moving on to graduate school next fall. The demand upon my time has not only distanced my mind from the Potter Universe, but also made it incredibly difficult to keep up with my own stories (and their slightly skewed universes). However, having so little time to myself has made me appreciate what little creative writing I am able to do, so I would like to say here and now, and with some kind of finality, that my stories will never be abandoned, but they may also never be completed. Both Bearings and Growing Up Granger are extended works of creative fiction, with the former projected at 500,000 words and the latter at over one million words. Both stories have always seemed slightly over-ambitious to me, especially considering I may be working toward my PhD in literature for the next five or six years, but it is without fail you the reader who has kept me coming back to my stories and the Potter Universe. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that as long as Portkey and fanfiction.net exist, my stories will continue, in the hopes that someday they will be complete. Thank you for your patience and your enduring support over the past three years.
