Hi my name is Erica, I was born in UK but have lived in Australia since I was 19. 
well now i'm a tad older! I love writing and thinking up stories
In my head. I used to write when I was young but stopped for a long time.
Now I have started again and loving it. I love reading others stories though
I don't have a lot of spare time.
I appreciate anyone reading, commenting or voting on my books and always try to
return the favor.
Thanks
 
PLEASE DO NOT FAN OR VOTE UNLESS YOU LIKE MY WORK. I WONT RETURN THE FAVOR UNLESS I LIKE YOURS. 

Oh I think I should also add that when I give feedback I give honest feedback, I wont be mean or anything but I do like to point out mistakes etc if I see them. We are all here to help each other and grow as writers! How else can you do that without others critique. :)

@erica_drury Yeah, I started a good three weeks ago. Right now, were just doing a lot of review type things. It takes a lot of my time though, lol. I can delete my account, but I don't think I can stop writing. I went from never doing it too writing everyday, lol. But, I have to admit, Wattpad did help me improve with my writing. So that actually helps a lot in english class...

I get what your saying about your youngest. Yep, none if that is your fault. I've met children who are read to every night that don't talk until they are 4. And then there are kids that barely know what a book is and the can speak clear as day. I think they are both lucky to have a mom that is willing to help them in any way that she can. 

You know, a lot of researchers say that people with autism are geniuses. I don't know much about autism though. Like what it entails. I should probably do some research...

I'm doing good :) Hope you have a good pregnancy! Twoish months left. You must be excited :)

@shelbylw03 special message for you!
Have you started college yet? if so how are things going? I know what you mean about having to delete your account if you spend too much time on here rather than school work. I had the same issue when I was in college I was putting the internet before assignments, unfortunately I didn't have the strength to delete everything and my work suffered for sure.

My eldest (7) and youngest (3.5) have speech delays in several areas, so their pronounciation of a lot of letters are poor to say the least. They also can't blend a lot of letters to each other like sw swing it would sound more like din. Though my eldest of a lot easier to understand now than he used to be due to a lot of speech therapy etc since he was 3.5yrs he still has a long way to go. My 3.5 yr old bless him is worse than my eldest he is still unintelligible to everyone except me. He knows enough words he just can't copy the words he can however copy the general sound so you can't hear the letters individually only the sound the word makes if that makes sense? I always kick myself thinking that I done something wrong or I should have read more books to them etc etc but the truth is I do just as much as any other mum if not more in some cases soooo.....it's just something within them. I have extensive speech difficulties and learning difficulties on my side of the family so they are pointing it to being hereditary.

Well my eldest has finally been diagnosed he has mid range Autism as well as adhd but not the hyperactive bit the inattentive bit. erk!

hope you are well xxx

I'mmm.....sooooo.....totally sorry!!!!!!!!! I've been soooo busy lately that I've not even had the chance to look at my books :( though they have still been on my mind!! I promise I will upload a chapter on this tomorrow! Something to keep you going and i'll try harder to update more regularly. I'm due to have a baby at the end of November and I have 3 other small children 2 of which have learning difficulties so sometimes things can get swamped :( but i'm here now and hope to read some comments after I upload tomorrow! Thank you allll for being so patient with me and not sending me any hate mail lol

Haha. I would have a bunch if upset people, but it will eventually happen. I start college on the 19th and if I start being irresponsible and go on here more than I work on school, I'll delete it/go on hiatus. Nothing is more important than my education, lol.

Im glad y'all are getting back into your routine. That probably helps things a lot. By speech difficulties do you mean stutters ir something else? My nephews +the twins) didn't talk very well when they were 3ish and now they stutter because they get to excited and then frustrated at themselves for stuttering. My other nephew has add. His is just mild though. They cure that by putting him into sports and more advanced classes so he doesn't get sidetracked so easy.

How old is the one starting school? Idk if they start at a different age where you live, lol. Is he excited? 

Dang, you are crazy busy. I definitely admire you for being able to do all that. I would go insane...

Take your time :) definitely not going to rush you when you already have enough stress, lol. And don't feel guilty :) I haven't caught up on the stories I read either and I'm not nearly as busy as you.

@shelbylw03 lol gosh i'm glad you mentioned the last part I was nearly lost for words when I read it! You can't delete your account! Well you can but....i'm telling you not to lol.
I'm good well we all are, settling back into routine etc now. My main thing is i'm spending a lot more time with my boys as my eldest and youngest have bad speech difficulties and it looks like they may also have inattentive add also so i'm trying to concentrate my spare time around them to help them out.
Plus my other son starts school soon so i'm also trying to prepare him as much as I can! writing/reading etc. But man that doesn't leave much time to even have a shower! lol by bed time i'm away in dreamland by 8.30pm lol

I may be able to squeeze out a chapter tomorrow if I manage my time properly, otherwise it wont be until next week on tuesday probably.

I feel really guilty for not keeping up with your stories I love them all and can't stop thinking about it, maybe I should plan a schedule for myself and allow 1/2hr me time each day (which of course would be reading ur stories) nah aint gonna happen. 

Anyhow now i'm babbling! I hope  you don't go stretching yourself too thin either means you've been busy!!!

I'm glad your still here :) and I know what you mean about the time block.  How's your son doing? And the funeral? How are y'all handling that? I've been doing good besides the fact that I've been a little busy, lol. Hope you find the time to upload your story :) and ignore the comment below mine. She's my kid cousin. I'm not deleting my account at the moment, lol.
