**UPDATE**


Monday March 28th, 2011: The Delicate Dance of Marriage


I hate sending out fake chapters so I hope everyone knows to check my profile, for info about my stories.*


I must apologize again for taking so long to update!


I have been working on re-editing all of my chapters.*not changing the story, just working on grammar and sentance structure.* It is a work in progress and I will be updating my story when I have all the chapters edited.


Along with all of this, late last year I found out that my mother-in-law has stage 4 cancer. Since that time I found myself to be her primary-care giver. While I pray all the suffering she is going through and all the stress my family is in, is not in vain, the process obviously has taken a toll on my entire life.


I have however, with the love and support of friends, found time to continue my work on "The Delicate Dance of Marriage." So "NO" this story is not abandoned or on hiatus. I work on this story in someway every single day.


I apologize for making you all wait, I just want the story to be as good as it can be.


xoxo-FunkyD.


******************************************


A little bit of back ground!


30something-stay-at-home-mother.  Real life for me is really really crazy busy. But writing fan fiction still rules my world!


I love to read everything Twilight! as well as love to discuss awesome FanFics that are out there!


I live in Austin TX and fell into the world of Twilight by accident.  After reading Breaking Dawn... the FADE TO BLACK honeymoon killed me! I was left with a huge VOID in my life! So i hunted far and wide for something to fullfil the deep dark pit in my soul and well I found the world of Twilighted, Fan Fiction and of course The Writers Coffee Shop!


Let's just say my life will never be the same again!


My Stories and Future Projects!


I am not an amazing writer by any standard! but I have a ton of ideas floating around in my head! I write because I want to and love to share my thoughts with others!
