This book is a representation of how far we, the writers, have come since starting Ms. Jackson's creative writing class in the fall. We are so excited to be able to share it with you. This collection of stories was created as our final project and it quickly developed into a passion project for those of us involved.
The Sins Within developed from a series of prompts given by Ms. Jackson on the Seven Deadly Sins. Throughout the class, we were given a total of three of the seven sins to write; lust, pride, and sloth. After given the definition, authors were told to write a short story based off of the sin. Despite the common themes, each piece is unique in their own ways.
This book is composed of three different genres. Emma Crumling, MaKaila Lake, Cienna Hammond, and Lizzy Sterner have all written fantasy, Beck Bavis has written fan fiction, and Sierra Taylor has written young adult fiction.
Aside from the four editors, three of our fellow classmates offered their writing up as sacrifices so we may bring this book to you. Every step of the process, from finding our writers to creating the cover, was done with love for the craft of writing and the desire to improve. We wanted to create something we could all be proud of. Something we could share with our peers. Maybe, just maybe, these stories will be the beginning for great authors in the future.
These, dear readers, are our stories.
