My Dearest Readers,
I find that as I work to bring a smile to your faces, it brings a smile to mine when I'm told that I've succeeded in doing so. I love sending various emails and messages to you all, and I jump for joy when you reply to them. I am just a girl in her room with overpriced pieces of kit, writing silly stories, screenplays , and prattling on about things on her blog. With the support of many people from many different places near and far, I have been able to continue to grow and thrive.

It has been a long and experimental road as I try to transition into writing my own stories. I often fear that the stories that I created by myself would pale in comparison to the fan fiction I still write. My time on Penana and the support that my screenplays have received proves otherwise. As much as I enjoy writing fan fiction, I want my screenplays to be just as enjoyable (if not more so). It hasn't been easy, and there have been many times where I wanted to bang my head into the desk until it bled. With you, my adoring readers, I know that my efforts are almost never in vain.

Of course I am not without my critics, with varying degrees of helpfulness. Many have been helpful, as they take the time to read my work with care. There are many people who know that at their core, my stories have good ideas that simply need a good clean and polish. There are also the unhelpful critics, who simply leave unhelpful criticism. Thankfully theses comments are few, and have yet to outnumber the admirers and critics that I appreciate. From the people singing praises, to the people who want to give me gentle pushes in the right direction, I adore you all and it's always a pleasure to read what you have to say.

I turn to you in times of when I fear what I do is worthless and pointless, when I am made to feel that no one cares about what I put my back into doing. I turn to you in times of happiness for when I want to celebrate, in times of sadness when I need a good cry. I turn to you when no one else understands what I feel, when I want to put to rest the angry beast caged inside me. In 'Classroom Confessions' you all knew me as the angry schoolgirl who hated the obnoxious and arrogant swines in her class. You understood that hidden away was someone who just wanted to be understood. In "I Have Something To Tell You…" you saw two oddly similar halves able to fuse together and form a whole person. In "Letters From A Social Justice Student" you saw a young girl who many might call naive, trying to make sense of a world which doesn't seem to have any these days. In "Kitten's Writer's Blog" you were given a glimpse into the life of a film loving screenwriter and her trials, tribulations, and love of animated films.

There is more interesting stories to come, and you'll have to help a clumsy girl like me try and find the pieces of me that I left in there. So to the people on and off Penana who have found me and stayed with me all this time, this is a heartfelt thank you letter from me. Thank you so very much, for all the support and for putting up with me sharing my writing on twitter and tumblr. I have met all kinds of people as more people discover the stories I write. I have kind people who wouldn't hurt a fly., I have met people who seem nice but who I do not want to encounter in dark alleys. I have met poor unfortunate victims who must endure pictures of food porn as I share with them the delicious food of Hong Kong. I have even met people who are from Hong Kong, and as the time to leave Hong Kong for university in the UK draws near, I know I will miss it dearly.

Know this my lovely readers, I don't want to imagine how I would be able to do this without you all. I haven't the slightest clue what would keep my fingers on my laptop keyboard, typing one word after the other. I would toss and turn at night as I ruthlessly ask myself who gives a toss about what a young girl like me has to say. How else would I have endured all this and more? What else could I possibly doing right now? Once again, I don't want to imagine the answer and the answer would be simple my readers…I wouldn't have you. I wouldn't have any writing, nor would there be anyone to read it and be amused by it. I often complain about how hard writing is, and I often wonder why most of these stories don't write by themselves. Know that as I complain, you make everything worth it in the end, and my whining just becomes pointless noise. Know that I wouldn't even have stayed on Penana long enough to complain about how difficult it is to write, without you my readers. I haven't reached a particular grand milestone (there's only 2000 followers on here at the time of this letter), but I know that I am trying to unload my heart into this letter. I write this letter of thanks, with a smile on my face, and a hope that you can see just how much I appreciate your support. If you are reading this on or off Penana, I also hope that you will support me until the very end. Though we have all yet to see what kind of ending it will be.
