Since I was nine I've been an avid reader. Or, as my husband says, a story junky (yeah, the amount of stories I inhale probably isn't healthy). Actually, ever since I could read I've been a reader, but before the Harry Potter books I mainly dabbled in science books. I remember spending hours in my … Continue reading Fanfiction: a definition, a theory, and a rant (it just gets so WEIRD!)

He Had a Lot of Pride
Since the story I was going to put up here is somehow in the wrong format (and I'm too lazy to fight my toddler to get to my bedroom where my writing computer is), I'll just have to tell another story from my college days. Back in the day of, I don't know, 2011-2014, somewhere … Continue reading He Had a Lot of Pride
Frog Girl
Another college assignment story. This one I based on two girls I knew my senior year of high school. One was...a weirdo. The other was unfortunately targeted, one of those victims of kids who are carelessly mean. My professor also didn't like this story. Got only a B for it. Frog Girl Orchestra was a … Continue reading Frog Girl
What’s Going On (Raising a Hero, Aliens, Vampires, Nigh-Naked Jim, etc)
Alright, so, here's what's going on: I'm publishing the rest of 'Raising a Hero' on Wattpad Which is complete at 243 chapters which means a lot of clicking and staring at a screen and waiting for my old, duct-tapped laptop to load up screens, so be grateful! Is happening because my experiment with digital platforms … Continue reading What’s Going On (Raising a Hero, Aliens, Vampires, Nigh-Naked Jim, etc)
Just an update note…
For all y'all that care about my stories and where they're going and whatnot, I think I'm going to try out just sticking with Wattpad and Quotev from now on. Webnovel's contracts aren't really fair, the publishers I tried out don't do much for me anyways despite taking %50 of royalties, and I've been reading … Continue reading Just an update note…
The Excalibur Queen
I wrote this for an assignment in college. I was enamored with the story of Boudica and wanted to do something with her. I don't think I did very well, for my creative writing professor just sighed and gave it a B minus. Or was it a C plus? Frankly, my whole experience with him … Continue reading The Excalibur Queen
Alien
I've been in a sci-fi hit lately, so I pulled this out of my old writing folders. But, I, uh, don't know how the story ended because an old classmate of mine from college asked me to write the beginning of a story for her as a writing prompt, like...uh...some years ago? It was after … Continue reading Alien
Make’n Pretty
It's been a while, but I think this story was inspired by a girl I knew back in college. I'd known her since high school, along with the boy she liked. She wasn't...a terribly easy person to get along with, despite her outgoing personality (though that somehow made it harder, like she was Bruce from … Continue reading Make’n Pretty
Beta and Snow
NaNoWriMo (national novel writing month) never did anything for me because whatever social or mental mechanic it has to encourage people to write didn't work on me. I got to writing a novel in a month or less because it was a ghostwriting job that paid well, my husband didn't have a job because he … Continue reading Beta and Snow
Ice Cream Trucker
Yeah, so ice cream trucks creep me the heck out, so I thought since they creep me out, maybe they could make a good horror story. This is where it went and died. Prologue He dug his teeth into the other man’s shoulder so hard his jaw popped. Round bone slipped beneath his incisors, slick … Continue reading Ice Cream Trucker
