Character development is my favorite part of a story- in a book, tv show, play, anything that tells a story. I am also inspired by nature, society, culture, and the world around me. I love examining societies effect on humans, and vice versa.

I am unnerved

I am fragile

I am eccentric and an introvert, a dreamer and a broken soul

I am unsteady.

I’m a liar, a no good, worthless being

I’m not enough, no, never enough. Ever.

I’m all the things i never wanted to be- I’m my own worst enemy.

I am a fighter- I claw my way out of the dark and peomise ill never go back again.

I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a friend.

I am wild

I am fu...

To Be Found

Loss is not to have lost anything at all, you see

Because to loose something

To no longer have

To no longer hold

It must be ours in the first place

To have

To hold

What comes after great loss you ask?

Being found

Finding

Becoming again

As something new

Something we never lost in the first place

Loss, you see

Does not exist...

NOTE: I was inspired by the visual, but I broke the rule to write a narrative from the perspective of one of the characters. Rather, I wrote in third person, about one of the characters' perspectives. I am going to keep exploring this writing- I enjoyed the story I started, but this is just a scene with an unexpected twist that might happen given the visual. Totally not the type of way I usually w...

Desire

Wanting, wanting so desperately the desire runs through your bloodstream,

pumping its firey desperation through your veins

sending your body into a state of blissful ecstasy

as desire ceases to exist

and all you've ever wanted-

...you'll never feel what it is to want again

the thrill of the chase loses its seduction,

there is no need anymore

and no use, anyway.

Nothing to follow

When you've...

Jennie looked outside the small, oval window, out at the blue green shoreline, smiling slightly. She exhaled deeply, and her intertwined pointer and middle fingers uncrossed. A gaggle of seagulls glided through the clear, Cape Cod sky, and Jennie watched them with the delight of a squealing baby- innocent, unscathed. It was then that Jennies mother, Helen, sauntered into the bedroom, calling out t...

I can’t help but spoil my dog, Haze

He’s way too good at that puppy dog gaze

He loves fetch, frisbee, a good chew, a long walk, but mostly he loves his mom and dad

I’ve never been loved so unconditionally, life before my puppy must’ve been so sad....

Like the legend Tupac shakur, you told me dry my eyes, and keep my head up

You could give advice but you couldn’t take it

The days are colder and you’re not getting any older

I dry my eyes and try to keep my head up

Thinking back to those days when we were young, partying, laughing, getting lit up

Jay said I wanna be forever young

And young is where you’ll be, forever young

You had just did a b...

Today I am going to consider what to write about by thinking about the theme of the novel. Instead of coming up with a random idea and plot, and then trying to make a theme out of it and having to weave it in, I am going to come up with my novel by deciding what message I want my readers to take from my novel. I want to write about something that matters to me and something that will excite me and...
