Idyllic Stories

One of many Poems I've written

This is the third in a series of interactive journals designed to help people grow personally, spiritually, and possibly even professionally. There is a daily message that contains a motivational quote, a Bible verse, a vocabulary word, and a message I write personally. Hopefully they're written and compiled in a way you find inspiring or motivational. But the key to what makes it work are the daily journaling questions. There are six questions at the end of every message. They stay the same, but you might find your answers to them change over time. They're simple questions, but living in a way that helps you improve your answers to them will change your life. I hope you decide to try it out, and if you do decide to try it out, I pray you won't be disappointed. Thanks, Jake.

Our Dreams are Mysterious yet Infallible, that's Idyllic.

How many times have you seen a key sticking out of an old tree? This breathtaking story is based on a real memory. Further findings unearthed during a thrilling investigation are even more puzzling...! High in the crown of a giant tree is an old key sticking out of the trunk. The disciplinary repercussions of the third-grader Bruno's research in a nearby cellar are not yet over when another problem arises: How to fetch this unusual discovery, undamaged and without attracting unwanted attention in the town? To make matters even more complicated, Dr‧ Barton is struggling with peculiar difficulties. Non-existent spectres appear on his photographic materials, and all attempts at scientific explanations fail completely. Let's take a look at the dark graveyard where something eerie happens every night. This evening again, mysterious whitish clouds begin to emerge from a fancy historical tomb... Forget cliche scenes, forget stereotypic heroes, forget overused plots: Something entirely new is happening here! A real treat for all lovers of cozy mysteries, romantic adventures, life dramas, optimism, and light humor.

When sickly Nicholas Wehrle Rutherford is sent to live with his grandfather in the winemaking community of Middle Bass Island, his grandfather, an aloof and gruff winemaker, resents the arrival of his estranged grandson. Old Man Wehrle still holds a grudge against Nicholas's parents for marrying against his wishes. Nicholas finds himself alone and miserable in the island, taunted by the other children because he is different. But things begin to change when Nicholas meets the spunky Aria Lonz of the neighboring Lonz Vineyards.

Things I write that I consider poetry.

Secrets aren't the only thing being buried in Beacon Harbor. Scarlett Longfield has spent her life surrounded by stories, but none quite like the one that lands right into her lap, or rather, mailbox. As the Library Page of the quiet coastal town of Beacon Harbor, she's more comfortable lost in the pages of a novel than chasing real-life mysteries. But when an envelope appears in her mailbox, containing an antique locket and a cryptic riddle- Scarlett is drawn into a puzzle that ends up being more than she bargained for. With help from Cad, a handsome fisherman who just recently got to town, Scarlett begins to unravel a decades-old love story, a long buried tragedy, and the carefully guarded secrets of the people she thought she knew best. When their search leads to the discovery of a buried body, the past and present collide in ways neither of them expected. As betrayal and love muddle together, Scarlett has to find a way to clear everything up. But in choosing to right the past, she might just be re-writing her future.

Hunter called himself an archaeologist, but he was a modern day treasure hunter. Tiyana was a scientist devoted to her craft. They were passionate people, wholly devoted to their work. Neither of them had time for love. Neither of them could resist it when it happened. Neither of them knew that the world would need the two of them to save it from a tyrannical pre-historic overlord, his cyborg vampire paramour, and their army of mindless drudges. Dawn of the Epoch is an epic science fiction novel about dark matter, death rays, nuclear warfare, and the Large Hadron Collider, but it is also a fantasy novel about medieval warriors, alchemy, and ancient gods. Dawn of the Epoch blends fantasy with reality, bringing mythology to life today. It is also an apocalyptic thriller spanning the globe from the Pyramids of Egypt to the heart of Africa to the majesty of the Himalayas. It is an epic hybrid-genre story with intense action sequences, magic, mythology, suspenseful plot twists, countless obstacles for the protagonists to overcome, and an utterly Machiavellian supernatural villain. Testimonials: "Probably one of my favorite books I've read to date. Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!" - Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader "This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise." -IridescentLies, Wattpad Reader http://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.com

Synopsis: Pure literature flavor. FLOWER, a junior high school student who grew up in the city and is troubled by her relationship with her family, spends her summer vacation in Kagawa, where her mother has been transferred to work alone. There is a idyllic countryside far from big city. Having too much time on her hands in a strange land, she starts to go to an old folk house cafe run by a young man who is a relative of her mother's. She finds herself in the middle of summer in Kagawa, a place rich in nature and gradually begins to develop a liking for the young man. Supplemental information: This story was created as a homage to Françoise Sagan's classic novel, "Bonjour Tristesse (Hello, Sadness)". While "Bonjour Tristesse" is a fresh story of a young girl who experiences a summer of love and loss in a French summer resort, "Name of the Flower" is a story of a young girl who spends a summer in modern-day Kagawa, where is Japan's idyllic countryside. The title, "Name of the Flower", is taken from a story in "Makeup Angels," a short story in Kawabata Yasunari's collection of novels, "Tanagokoro no Shosetsu" (A Novel in the Palm of the Hand). "Tell the man you are parting with the name of one flower. Flowers always bloom every year." There are two versions of "Name of the Flower," a short story version of 40 manuscript pages and a longer version of 330 pages. The overall synopsis is almost the same. Since this is the short version, I think you will find it a quick read! Looking forward to your comments and advice!

Danielle, a sixteen-year-old, petite, quiet brunette, lives in the small town of Martinsville, where nothing ever happens. On the surface, it's idyllic and beautiful, a perfect, All-American small town, but underneath lies something dark and dangerous, something that no one really understands. Right and wrong, life and death, love and vengeance, all swirl together as Danielle discovers more about herself, her town, and the people she thought she knew.

This story is a series of loosely connected short stories and character development sketches focusing on the characters for the novels I'm working on writing. (Aka, the characters who live in my head). The stories focus on the themes of friendship, family, love, childhood, and perseverance to name just a few. I hope you enjoy reading about these characters as much as I enjoy playing with them.

The simplest events of childhood are like a liquid that flows through the mind when recalled, like the rains that drenched you when you were little, like the rains that call you into the past.

Slow updates~ words that i think are pretty and their meanings :)

because of him, my life turned upside down, everything that seems to be chaos, turns into something pleasant. every mess, every up and down, turns peaceful whenever i'm with him. simply, imperfectly idyllic. "he was a dickhead, i hated him. but he was charming, quite devilish, childish, and romantic in his own ways. he never gave up on 'us' and he still loves me even when i told him i'm attracted to girls more than guys. he's everything to me, he's the one." who knew that my actual love life can be turned into a story that people are actually interested in? enjoy a compilation of short stories from my notes that flows a bittersweet love story.
