Living on Writer's Block

Creating is everything.

Her Type

He wasn’t her type. Her type was classic, in every novel from the Bronte sisters to L. M. Montgomery to Sarah J. Maas. Tall, dark, and handsome to a fault. Piercing, pale eyes with frost at their centers that would melt only for her. Eyes that would cut through her soul and make her suck…

ABOUT THE BLOG

Here I create, publish, and share stories and thoughts I’ve made and had over the past several years. Join me on a multitude of adventures through the world of writing, as I publish novels, idle musings, the occasional descriptive essay, and more.

“A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called “leaves”) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time–proof that humans can work magic.”
– Carl Sagan

WHEN IT STARTED

It all began, I suppose, in the midst of the Covid crisis. That was when writing really became a thing for me as I spent day after day stuck at home, secluded from friends, classmates, and the whole outside world. I was estranged from nearly everyone I loved. I needed an escape. And so, hearing a lonely child’s plea for relief, writing began to beckon, and immediately I was sucked into the world of creation.

Fast forward about 3 years, I’m about to be a senior in high school, and I haven’t yet published anything. Until I get the idea to publish online. No hassle with publishers, no awkward battles over what scene goes where. My own stories, my own way. Enter WordPress.

With WordPress before me, I can now freely create and publish, and though much of this work is still only a fledgling in the nest — bald, ugly, flightless, and desperately in need of revision — I have hopes that someday that fledgling will take flight.
