Thank you for the friendship. As you can see, I am a writer promoting my work on myspace. I have a fiction blog where I post short stories as a way of staying in touch with fans and to give potential new readers a chance to gauge my work. It would be very cool if you'd check it out.

<br />Thanks again,

Hey you! Thanks again for coming to the v-day event!!! Sorry it has taken me so long to say "thanks," it's been a rough week for me. How was your trip this weekend? I was just thinking of you and wanted to say hi. :) I hope all is well.
Ape! How've you been? Things here have been insanely busy. Between work and applying for grad school, I haven't had time for sleep. No really. I finally got to pass out this afternoon and it was awesome. Are you busy the afternoon of Valentine's Day? We are doing a Romance Reader's Social at Michelle's library and it's going to be a lot of fun. If you aren't busy, you should come!
Hi April, Thanks, and nice to meet you too. You're actually going to be my instructor for this writing school I currently enrolled in. I'm planning on reading your books. They seem really good. :)
