NASTY NOTEBOOK Nonfiction/ Essays/ Poetry

Shoes is a short collection of poems that takes something simple-shoes-and uses it to explore the not-so-simple parts of life. In just thirteen pieces, it unpacks themes like pride, insecurity, grief, ambition, and loss by looking at the shoes we wear and what they say about where we are in life.

This one means a lot to me... I hope you enjoy it.

Ink & Torn Lena Hawthorne thought she knew the game. She'd been climbing the corporate ladder for years, always staying one step ahead of the chaos, always keeping her heart guarded. But nothing could have prepared her for the ruthless world of CrossTech-or its enigmatic CEO, Dominic Cross. Dominic is a man built from iron, haunted by a past that could destroy everything he's worked for. He's ruthless, calculating, and has spent his life hiding behind walls of silence and ambition. His empire is his only family, and no one is allowed close enough to see the cracks beneath the surface. That is, until Lena walks into his life. Hired to fix the cracks in his company, Lena's curiosity leads her down a dangerous path-one filled with old secrets, broken promises, and a family legacy that's buried beneath a web of lies. But when Lena uncovers a hidden folder in the depths of CrossTech's archives, she's drawn into a puzzle that threatens to unravel everything Dominic has built. And the more she discovers, the harder it becomes to keep her distance from him. As the stakes rise and secrets spill into the open, the dangerous line between business and personal begins to blur. But with Dominic's past crashing into the present, and his estranged half-brother, Vincent, threatening to expose everything, Lena must decide whether to fight for the empire she's come to care for... or protect the man who might just destroy it all. But Dominic is a man who never asks for help-and Lena is a woman who's spent her whole life protecting her heart. In a world of ink and iron, their love may be the one thing neither of them can control.

When Lin Wei, a reserved historian with a passion for forgotten legacies, stumbles upon an ancient scroll during a late night at Eldermoor University, her reality begins to unravel. The scroll, marked by the symbol of the Lóng Dynasty - a dragon encircling a broken moon - speaks of a powerful artifact known as the Veil of Eternity, capable of altering fate itself. Haunted by fragmented visions of a dynasty in flames, a warrior's sacrifice, and a sorrowful voice calling her name, Lin soon finds herself thrust into the world of the Lóng Dynasty - an era where women ruled ruthlessly over men, wielding power as conquerors. There, she meets Jian Yu, a steadfast warrior bound to protect the Veil, who reveals a startling truth: Lin is the Keeper of the Veil, destined to break a tragic cycle that led to the dynasty's downfall. To survive and return to her world, Lin must navigate the harsh, matriarchal rule of the dynasty, uncover the buried truths of her own existence, and confront forces determined to control the Veil's power. As she fights to change a doomed history, Lin discovers a love that defies time - but with love comes sacrifice, and rewriting fate has its own price. Caught between the weight of destiny and the pain of the past, can Lin defy the shadows that have long been forgotten, or will history's tragic course consume her? ---

original poetry by me🥀

Welcome to a place where you'll find all my thoughts, a majority of my secrets, and everything I truly feel. Take this however you want; it could be seen as a book of vents, or you can look at it as seeing inside the mind of someone with a passion for creating. This book will also hold my sketches, poems, and animations. Welcome to my mind, please enjoy your stay!

Just a bunch of random poems I've come up with and will add more as I go.

Has it occured to you about what happens to the erasers which fall from your classroom desk by accident and you never see it again. You think someone else might have picked it up or the people who clean the classroom might have put it in the bin. Well, that's not what happened with Rubbert. In a whimsical twist of fate, Rubbert, the vivacious eraser, finds himself transported to a fantastical world where stationary reigns supreme and is the sole form of life. Here, pens scribble messages of enchantment, pencils sketch intricate landscapes, and erasers, like Rubbert, possess a vibrant personality of their own. Amongst the rolling hills of paper, sharpeners playfully spin, their metallic gleam reflecting the magic that courses through this stationary realm. Join him on his adventure in a land where he is a respectable citizen unlike the real world where he is just a materialistic possession.

Random one shots I've written. Some have to do with different fandoms I'm a part of such as Phantom of the Opera/Love Never Dies, Newsies, Heartless, Gilmore Girls, etc.
