"Frequently I go to a local college campus to do research in its fine library. The college is located on a high hill where on a clear day you can see most of the San Francisco Bay Area. You get a strong feeling of the hubbub of modern life, people hustling from place to place in pursuit of-what? Stuff. That's right, stuff. TVs and stereos and new cars and condos in the country. Stuff. The stuff you see advertised on TV. Toyotas and BMWs, stuff like that. So when I sit in the library surrounded by books and looked out on the hubbub I think, What is it that I'm in pursuit of? Art. I'm trying to write a damn good novel. One that is moving, dramatic, and says something important about the human condition. If in the pursuit of this I make a little money, so much the better. But if I don't? Well, I can do without the stuff. And I feel a little sorry for all those poor slobs down there pursuing stuff that just wears out and rusts and needs repainting." -James N. Frey Plz read, comment, and vote. I may or may not read your story if you message me asking to read it (probably not as I have no time. But you're still welcome to give it a shot). Just be warned that when I read your strory when you ask me to, I will comment, give you my HONEST opinion, and try to give some pointers that might help. I do this because there are so many brilliant writers on here that need a little more than 'great job, loved it so much'. It drives me crazy when no-one will tell these writers that, as good as it is, it could be better. So if I comment and you don't like that comment, delete and pretend it never happened. Or you can take it to heart and let it help you. I'm not doing it to be bitchy, I promise :) PS: Please don't ask me to read poetry. Because I won't, no matter the circumstance. It wouldn't be fair for me to give you an opinion anyway because that opinion would be unfairly biased.

@shellpaperheart I like your book, Love To Kill. It's the best book I've ever read. Now, leave me alone! *growls and runs away looking for more prey*

Sooooooooo hello If anyone even remembers what I am the writer of lol. It's been a very long time since I've been on wattpad regularly. About two years now since I stopped writing my 'usual' amount. I'm not sure why, but I feel like I should let you guys know what's been going on. Maybe some of you can help me. I'd appreciate it. But anyway, since graduating high school I haven't been at my full potential. I used to think about my stories constantly, and they'd drive me crazy until I wrote them down. Now it seems that thinking about them and writing is more of a chore. Sometimes I don't even have the passion and motivation that I used to. I know that I'm a writer. I know that I'm meant to do this. But I don't know what's wrong with me and there's nothing more frustrating. I don't know if one day it'll come back, or if it will disappear forever. Can anyone reading this relate? Can anyone please give me any type of advice? I want to get out of this rut I just don't know how to make the spark come back

Wow it's been a couple of months since I've been on here. I'd like to announce that I feel it's time to start editing TS&TS, and I'm probably going to edit A Love to Kill as well, either during or afterward. So if you guys have any suggestions, feedback, criticism, I'd really really love to hear it. Thank you for everyone who's stuck with me. I know this last year I haven't been putting out as much work as I'd like, but the important thing is that I'm still moving forward.

@MyztikalTearz No, I'm ashamed to admit that it's not completed yet. I have two and a half chapters that I haven't posted yet, and it'll probably take another four or five to finish it up. But it is something I intend to finish.

@mohdsharilfirdaus Both I suppose. In this story I don't think you could put it in one genre without the otherA Love to Kill
@Troy318 I didn't Leon's closing scene actually. Felt too.....reaching for me. Unnatural. But hey, that's what editing is for :)
