"How can you call yourself a writer if you never write?"
Every day I ask myself this question. While it may just be a hobby, I enjoy the craft, and would love to improve upon my skill as a writer so I can move onto bigger and better projects. Yet I can never find the drive to actually sit down and get the words out of my head, and onto the screen.
This changes this year. My goal is to write at least 52 new short stories by the end of 2020. At least one short story(500+ words) for each week of the year. If I don't reach this goal, I've given myself some undesirable consequences I must follow through with. (Shameless plug, follow my twitter for updates and other shenanigans. @SuperDude6354)
Will I reach my goal by 2021? - I hope so.
Will each short story be a masterpiece? - Definitely not.
Will I procrastinate? - Absolutely.
But regardless, I've given myself a goal this year, which I hope will flex and build my ever deteriorating creative muscle.

Stories, Poems, and Dreams
Welcome to this little book! This is gonna be some of my better small works - poetry and short stories, for the most part, with the occasional dream that I actually end up remembering mixed in. So, sit back, relax, and prepare for a bit of angst! MINI-SERIES Some of these are differentiated by a marker in their title or, in a very particular case, through a certain sign-off. I wanted to take a sec to explain the idea behind them, and let you guys know that I'll (eventually) be publishing them as actual, proper books! Asylum: Whenever I'm in the hospital or a mental facility, I get bored and write! I thought it would be fascinating to see all the work I make in a "damaged" state collected together. Unsent Letters: If I have something to say to someone but I can't for whatever reason, I'll write a letter to the person. Maybe it's angry, or sad, or an update, or just a much-needed, long-awaited hello. And the hope is that I'll publish it and maybe, someday, someone will pick my book up off a shelf and find that letter I write to them. Would sending them a letter be more effective? Yes. But it's more fun to make it into an art project! Signed by "-A": I̷͔̬̒t̵͔̂̊ͅ'̵͇̕s̶͆͜͠ ̶̟̪͝n̴̥̉ȯ̷͎̼t̶̢̕ ̷̧̺̉̐r̵͎̄e̴̲̞͌͌a̵̲̺̓d̵̮̑͜ỳ̴̗ ̷̯̑̀y̴̟̹̐ë̸̯̱́t̴͓̍̿͜.̸̙͆̓ ̸͕͑
The Return of the Hyuga (Nightly's continuation)
This is a continuation of RenRae26's story "The return of The Hyuga". They discontinued it(I think) and I really enjoyed the story so I decided to continue it putting my own style into it, trying to make it seem more different than RenRae26's own work. Of course I'll implemented the different povs and how they ended each chapter with suspense but i'll try to make it more "NightlyProduction"(whatever that means I only got two published stories) The main difference of the bat is how I'm shifting the focus of Hinata being the main character. Im turning it into more of a "what if-" situation/story and not a Hinata story(how her leaving and coming back changed how everyone sees her and how different they are as characters). Don't know if that's a mistake or a good thing(what the fans of Renrae26's original story want)but that's what I want to do with this story. Now, if you are intrigued, go read the original story(I'm continuing before the chapter "Cross eye" and "Cross eye" never happened) and come back here to be up to date. Good Read! -Nightly Ps: This...is long over due. Hi, present Nightly here. RenRae26 no longer exist, their account being wiped from this app. Meaning, their Hinata fanfic is also gone. This continuation that I am just now publishing, that I started when Renrae canceled theirs, is oddly enough a time capsule, a story started when one ended years ago. This isn't a finished product. It ends on a cliffhanger that I don't want to finish. A true time capsule. From my work as a naruto fanfic writer to now going into Uni in Literature, Naruto fanfiction is what created this passion for creation in me. So I want to honor it by publishing all my unfinished work, as I left, because why not? If you have unfinished work or even work that you don't think of publishing, do it. Hit send. Let the world read you and be proud of it. I am proud of all my work in one way or another. So publish, friend. You have nothing loose. Lots of love -Nightly, 2024Completa
Konoha Bad Boy CEO 《Naruto fiction》
{Sequel to Konoha High's Bad Boy} It's been eight years since I've seen him. I heard in newspapers and news that's he's becoming the most successful businessman to have ever lived. He seems, so happy that I don't want to take it away from him. I'm only here because my father violated the truce contract. Once I've served my term, I'm out of here. Only this time, I swear I will never return. But I don't know if Van or Naruto would let me go. ~~~~~ Hinata, now known as the youngest emergency medicine resident out there, thought she has moved on with her life. She was able to skip three years of pre-medicine and jump into medical school without any problems. She is known as the 'Satan' at her hospital's emergency room because of her many successful immediate treatments on even the worst wounds had saved lives that other doctors would've given up on. And better yet, she is as confident as she could be! It's been eight years since she last saw her beloved, Naruto, who is the youngest CEO of his own branches of international hospitals. She has never forgotten about him... but when news breaks out that Hinata's father violated a truce contract between the two companies, Hinata is forced to go to Naruto's main branch and work there for a few months to a year. Hinata finds herself getting trapped in all sorts of impossible situations. She's called it quits with her old Konoha buddies, Van is suddenly a sexy beast that would protect her and pull her through thick and thin no matter what, and Naruto seems really happy with his new problem-free daughter and maybe wife but he still wants her to be his again and this time forever. Ultimately, Hinata's faced with a decision. Van, the one person she has come to trust with her life. Or Naruto, the one Hinata truly loves but had failed her once too many times.Completa
The Words - An Autobiography
"What if God was one of us?" Credit to Eric Bazzilion, and thanks to Joan Osborne for singing his brain-rattling words. Much earlier, my mother promised that if I applied myself, I could be whatever I wanted when I grew up. Then, from somewhere, I read that the best thing about being a writer is the ability to be anyone you want to be. So, I had quite a blend stirring in my imagination for years before I finally had the luxury of converting that concoction into words, and it shouldn't be entirely surprising that the central narrative of The Ghostwriter Series purports to be the autobiography of God or the Creator as He prefers. Before dismissing this, consider: Once upon a time, an audacious ape raised its head above the others and thought itself superior. Then, beginning with our first written words, I believe we've become active participants in creating our universe. Consider how far we've come from that first bipedal ape. Imagine explaining our SmartPhones to the Inquisition. From this point, how long until our descendants appear to us as gods, like those of Greek mythology? Are there any limitations, other than our imaginations, to what we can ultimately become if we don't destroy ourselves first?Completa
The rambling of a writer
[Me, complaining and contradicting all and everything written in every fanfiction created.] No hate, Just me, rambling about different topics in Fanfiction writing. Why? Because we all start somewhere, am I right? The good, the bad, the rightout clichès and the straight up delulu stuff. Note that I probably did most -if not all- of these things myself when writing, so be prepared of your beautiful cringefest and maybe learn a thing or two about writing a plot/story. Side note: Writing is a creative process, so... no shame in making any mistakes! We all have to start from somewhere! Side side note: Most of the things I talk about come either from my personal opinion OR from the things I've learned over the years. I've been writing since age ten and even did a Minor in creative writing whilst studying for my degree. Last side side side note: The fun is to read these chapters and then visit a random story on wattpadd. I guarentee you, you'll either groan in annoyance ance you can see these things or you giggle at how predictable things will get once you know some writer mistakes. It's all fun and it educates all of us! -xXx-

I have a writers craft course/creative writing course, so each "chapter" is a new little task we had to do.Completa
words don't come that easy.
I've tried. but i've always failed to contain these thousand words in a few sentences, maybe im bad at expressing macro feelings in the few words that I'm limited to. you might think you know me enough because it's been a long time since i first waved at you and the love for the same artist started our very first conversation, but even i haven't discovered the colors of my existence yet, so why do you claim that you have? you think you've already uncovered the secrets and seen the scars and the marks and reached the origin of every preserved artifact in the treasures that i've kept hidden over the years but there's so much more that you would never even hear of. i've chosen to show you everything as a part of a happy story but will you ever know this? which words were rewritten and omitted out and which words are the part of the organic script which fits perfectly into the timeline. have you figured out yet who's the real director of my story? there's so much more to me than you think there is. poetry and prose and everything in between. 26.10.2021 - 01.06.2022Completa
My everything
I've always dreamed of writing a book. Since I was 12, I've battled depression, and until now, I never had the motivation to start. But here I am, without a job, so what do I really have to lose by writing my first book? Honestly, I never thought it would be about my own life...Completa
