It's surprising how people can actually enjoy poetry that often doesn't have structure or a clear meaning. I've often wondered why that kind of writing sparks interest in others, and I think I finally understand. Our hidden thoughts, well, they're not structured and not often do they have clear meaning. Our thoughts aren't thought out,… Continue reading She Fights It
The Missing, Magical Shoelace: A Short Story
To get away from the rather depressing poetry posts, I've decided to share an excerpt from a short story of mine. It was for a Wattpad contest, and contained some. . . interesting prompts, to say the least. I created a basic cover for it which I'm rather proud of, considering my graphic skills are… Continue reading The Missing, Magical Shoelace: A Short Story
Perfect
I've decided to post five of my most emotional poems, one each day. This is day two of me sharing my poems. I don't know if this can rightly be considered a poem. It has no rhythm and is just me pouring out words. Though perhaps that is what makes it poetry. I can still… Continue reading Perfect
Were You There?
A lot of my poetry is personal to me. It's like unlocking a window to your heart and letting the world peer in. It makes you vulnerable. I wrote this poem during a dark part of my life, so it's scary sharing some of these poems that have been my way of pouring out my… Continue reading Were You There?
Just Write!
I'll be honest here, I'm not the patient type. As a writer, that's not a good trait to have. It's the main reason I have yet to finish a full length novel actually. I've always gotten too impatient with how slow the story was going and I'd eventually discard it. Here's a quote I found… Continue reading Just Write!
My First Novel
TWWRTW is very near and dear to my heart. I started writing it last December and I plan to finish it by the end of this year. It was (and is) my first "real" novel that I've strived to finish. Over nearly a year, it has grown to be thirty-nine chapters and over 40,000 words… Continue reading My First Novel
Back to Poetry!
My writing has been going excellent and couldn't be better. My poetry, on the other hand, has been rough. I haven't had any new inspiration lately and so my poetry has come to a halt. I'm hoping that by going through some of my old poems I'll be able to regain inspiration. The poem that… Continue reading Back to Poetry!
The Elementals
I've decided to post a bit more about my own writing this time! I am currently working on four stories; a novel and a trilogy. Both are coming along nicely, so I've allowed myself to brainstorm a new series. The Elementals is set in a fantasy world where those gifted with elemental abilities rule. The… Continue reading The Elementals
Purple Haze
Another poem today. I'm trying to update more frequently. I have roughly one hundred poems that I have written and saved. I hope to share at least a few of them with you all. Don't be saddened by the setting of the sun, for the purple haze that lies in the other direction is… Continue reading Purple Haze
Thorns
I can't believe how long its been since I last updated! Today I'm sharing another poem. This one is short as well, though not nearly as short as the last one. They plucked the rose's petals, one by one, till nothing but the thorns remained.
