"Write what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open." - Natalie Goldberg I get it, you want to become a better writer. Don't we all (at least the authors on this platform)? I find one of the best ways to do said task is to (shocker) practice writing frequently, as much as you can. This book will showcase some of my own writing exercises that I used to improve. Who knows, perhaps you will take inspiration or simply enjoy the short stories and little weird bits of imperfection sprinkled into this book.

Seventeen young girls have disappeared within the last year with growing velocity and the authorities are dumb with bewilderment. The police have no key suspect, no bodies, no evidence. What they do have is a sense of absence and the knowledge that they're being played. With every day that passes another girl is closer to disappearing for good. Nate Chantilly is that next girl.

When Mollie starts to prefer the dreams she's having to the painful reality of life, she's forced to choose between embracing a fantasy or the man she loves. ***** Since she was seven, Mollie Cutright has known two truths: she loves Howard Flynn and her dreams are the most magical part of her life. Each day she suffers at the hands of her abusive parents, but each night she is surrounded by a loving family who call her by a different name. Growing up in 1930's Virginia, no one has patience for a girl who might be mad, so Mollie strives to keep her dreams (and how often they intrude on her reality) a secret. But when her secret comes out, Mollie is sent to an asylum, though not before she and Howard are secretly engaged. It is at the asylum she discovers the dreams are echoes of her past lives. She's an immortal, if she makes a journey to claim her heritage. The problem is, if she continues down this path, she can never see Howard, the love of her life, again.

When a grumpy billionaire fake dates a sunshine barista to understand how love works, they are forced to face the monsters of their past and live through a swoonworthy romance filled with Taylor Swift song references. - - - When the pandemic causes her to lose her job as a background vocalist, Priyankha takes up a temporary job as a barista to make ends meet. She decides to write her own songs to create a new identity for herself as a singer but soon realizes that she has lived a very sheltered life and has nothing to write about. Oliver has always been a workaholic, too absorbed in files and figures. But when his fiancée dumps him and calls him boring to his face, it dawns on him that he was always so lost in his work that he hardly ever tried to live life or make worthwhile memories. She needs a trauma to write songs about. He needs memories to live for. And when Taylor Swift announces the release of Red (Taylor's Version) within 5 months, they both need a heartbreaking relationship to cry about when the album drops. So it goes... They sign up for a time-bound contract where they pretend to be in love only to break up one week before the album releases. They aren't lovers and theirs isn't even a real relationship. So what's the invisible string tying them together? It's not a love story but you can call it what you want.
