Love writing but find it hard to finish projects? Looking for a new approach to telling stories? Embracing serialisation can help you be more productive and get more readers. In this guide I share what I've learned while writing A Day of Faces, my serial which hit #7 in the science fiction chart here on Wattpad, won a 2016 Watty Award and has had over 146,000 reads. My current Wattpad serial is The Mechanical Crown - come join the adventure!

This past semester I took a Creative Writing class in which I enjoyed every minute of it. I decided that I might as well put up some of the stories, poems, and dramas that we wrote throughout the semester so that people could read them. To be honest, they aren't my best works due to my procrastination and needing to turn them in on time, so a few might be rushed and boring. But, I do intend to improve and add on to some of them so they can reach their greatest potential. I hope you enjoy them and any feedback is encouraged. Thanks!

Hey Everyone! So these are all stories that I had to write in my Creative Writing class! I'm not looking for comments or votes on any of these stories, there just for the reader to enjoy and read. . . although it would be great to hear what you think on any of them! Anyway, I hope you guys like them! BTW the last story I might be making into an actual story, so please read it and comment if you think its worthy of writing a whole story on! Thanks again! :P

This is really just a book for me to practice my descriptive writing. I think of noun (person, place or thing) and I make up a scenario about it in my head, and then try to describe it the best that I can with vivid adjectives and adverbs. In each entry I will have to include the 5 senses (touch, hear, see, smell, taste). Hope you read these little 'stories'!
