Numb

Introductions

Hey everyone! First of all, I'd like to officially introduce myself. This isn't my first time in Wattpad as I have a book of poems and six word stories published, but this is the big leagues. I'm both filled with excitement and nerves as I type this up. So here it goes!

I'm a 24 year old who enjoys stories so much. I'm constantly getting lost in snippets that run across my thoughts. I've always wanted to turn these snippets into something more tangible. For the most part, they become part of stories written in random slips of paper or, if I'm smart enough, get typed up and saved on my computer. Yet, they never really go anywhere. I drastically want to change this. I no longer want to hide away this side of me in fear of rejection. I have too many ideas in my head that can't go to waste!

Now I just want to see where this takes me, and am in it for the fun of it. I hope you all enjoy my stories as much as I do, but please feel free to give me any pointers or constructive criticism at any time. I'm going to do my best to give you the best version, but at the same time I don't want to get stuck in editing and revision. Because as the saying goes, you are your own worst critique. I don't want to second guess myself and hesitate on following through with my goal.

Also, I'm a working adult with a very inconvenient schedule. This means that updates and new chapters may not be consistent. Yet I know as a reader, I do appreciate constant updates, I plan on writing a few chapters ahead and keeping a supply of them to add before I run out of steam.

This first story is more directed to young adults, but I don't really see myself in a specific genre as I have ideas for all kinds of stories! So hopefully these are coming soon!

Some fun facts about myself. I have two huskies that are my babies, and a kitten I'm adjusting too ( I always told myself I wasn't a cat person, but Rue may have changed that). I have many interest that include crafting of all sorts. Although, I'm still learning to let my artistic side out more. I love chocolate anything, and food is life. Literally.

Well I guess it's time for the story to begin! Read below for the summary and let me know what you think! Please feel free to leave comments or messages for me. I'd love to get to know my readers.

Thanks y'all, J.

Lex has become numb to everything and struggles with secrets so twisted they consume her.
