Ashley-thank you sooo much. Coming from you, that means a lot. As for writing, I don't really consider myself a very good writer. I'm too straightforward. I have a hard time adding color and depth to give the reader a good visualization. I had a college English professor tell me that she really enjoyed my straightforward writing and that I should become an English teacher. But I noticed that she didn't say an English Lit. professor.

It just takes a lot more effort to add the more descriptive and colorful words. However, I have been thinking about doing something else along the lines of a fan fic but it will take some time to work it out so I make sure it is enjoyable and the readers can "see" what I "see" in their minds as they read. Thanks so much for the encouragement. It helps to put a fire under my rear to get me motivated!
wait_siriusly411, thank you as well for reading my fic. I too enjoy reading other people's views as to how they would like the series to end and what happens to each character. Unfortunantely, now that JKR is starting to reveal more of the details, I have realized that most of mine have been incorrect so far. Although, I was right about one thing in particular. Ginny does go on to play professional Quiddich (I was wrong on which team though) and decides to retire early so she can start a family!!
