This is my entry for the DMD Dorothy Diaries contest hosted by one of my favorite authors, Danielle Paige! I chose to write a diary entry from Nox's point of view.

He never knew life could be this way, but truly if he did, he wouldn't have cared. He cared about nothing, not even himself until her. Before her, he was empty/ Before her he knew nothing of joy or completion, and this is his journey to his life After her.

From the moment she first learned the truth about witches…she knew she was born to fight them. Now, at sixteen, Iris is the lone girl on the Witch Hunters Special Ops Team. But when Iris meets a boy named Arlo, he might just be the key to preventing an evil uprising in Southern California. Together they're ready to protect the human race at all costs. Because that's what witch hunters do. Welcome to Hollywood.

This story was written for my creative writing class. It is about a mans experience going through Hell Week in Navy Seal boot camp! This is very different from what I usually write but I was inspired by a documentary I watched last summer about BUDs book camp so I thought "why not?!" One of the main critiques I got in class on my last piece was that my character needed more emotion and feelings so I thought this subject matter would definitely help me expand on those important character traits!

This was a short story project I had to do for Creative Writing class. It's about a girl named Clara and her experiences surviving the first day of the London Blitz. Enjoy!
