Every year we all make promises to ourselves in the form of a New Year's Resolution. Despite all evidence to the contrary, we reassure ourselves that "This year is going to be different".
After struggling with a lot of personal issues the past year, I am determined to do something for myself this year. It might be overly-ambitious, it might be a bit pointless, it might even be a little crazy, but I'm throwing caution to the wind and doing it anyway.
I am going to write every day. For a whole year. I don't mean a few hundred words here or there to existing projects. I mean wholly new writing. Every day. For anyone who writes, you know just how crazy this probably is.
I don't care, I'm doing it and it's all going to be documented here. So stay tuned for some new stuff, maybe an interesting story or two, but at the very least you'll be privy to my slow descent into madness.
Welcome to 2014: A Year in Writing. It's going to be one heck of a ride.
If you prefer to follow along elsewhere I'm cross-posting everything I write for this project on: http://ayearinwriting2014.wordpress.com/ Enjoy and thanks for reading!

~Trust Me ~
"I want a divorce." And just hearing him say that my whole world that seemed to revolve around him stopped. Gathering myself I barely managed to speak in a voice that even I could not recognise. I couldn't comprehend anything going around me. "Wh..hy?" As soon as the words left my mouth he threw the file and the photographs spread across the floor. And those photographs had me in compromising positions with not one but several men. Looking at those photos I looked straight into his eyes. Disgust and hatred. The only emotions I could see. Taking a deep breath I composed myself and tried to keep my face void of the emotions I felt at that moment. Hurt and immense pain. If he didn't trust me then he has no right to see me vulnerable too. "Is this the only reason why you want to divorce me? No other except this?" It was foolish of me to ask him but I had to make sure. Also for me trust comes before love. If he doesn't trust me I don't even want to save the relationship. "Is this not enough you whore? What else can I expect from a slut and a gold digger like you! I knew it from the start that all you showed was just a facade. Your innocence, kindness, it was all fake. I just don't believe how can I be so dumb." Was I hurt? No I was broken beyond repair. My heart ached. I felt like I was seconds away from collapsing. I had far exceeded the limit of hurt and pain. I was so powerless in that moment that I couldn't even fight with him. Love makes you strong. I have heard and felt that countless times but they always forget to mention what comes after that. Love makes you weak too. I couldn't shout at him because I loved him. But I had to be brave. For myself. ************************************************** Is love enough for two people to be together or is there something more important than love? This is story of Xander and Sophie who loved each other but still couldn't be together. Because more important than love is trust. © All rights reservedComplete

Second No More, a novel
I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her. For readers: * I do my best to proofread before publishing, but some typos and errors will slip through. Feel free to point them out! * Comments, active engagement, and helpful critiques are welcomed. * Mean, unnecessary comments that attack me, personally, or other commenters will be ignored and deleted. It takes a lot of courage to publish your work and for others to actively engage in a community. I'd like to keep this a safe and fun place to rage at imperfect heroes and cheer for darling heroines! * I'm not a spicy writer. I rather use my word count for plot, character development, and GROVEL!!! * Most importantly, I hope you enjoy the little world I'm creating. Happy reading, everyone! ADS/Imaginationgirl35Complete
The 2 Years Promised
Author's note: This book is not the greatest, but I put my heart on it. Making this book makes me feel better. To know what I've done before, the truth and fake.

You need to think before you choose. No choices have to be feel regretted. If you promised you will do it or will you regret it.

I Care a Little Bit - Rant Book Part 3
Almost a decade ago, I published my first rant book on this website. For the next four years, I proceeded to use that rant book as an online personal diary of sorts, documenting my middle school life and partial high school life. As high school went on, those updates dwindled, and eventually came to an abrupt end. Now, as a 23-year-old, I am rekindling my old habits and bringing back my rant book. These are my adult-life rants; documentations of my young adult life and whatever it may bring. Disclaimer: I basically use this as an online diary for myself, just for me to have and to look back on later.
