My story "A New Dream" is a short personal story for the CW "Katy Keene" Writing Contest of how I let go of my dream of becoming a professional ballerina when the pressure to succeed started to become unhealthy. Choosing to break free from the toxicity and competitive nature of intensive ballet training led me to pursue a new dream, one in which self-love and appreciation are valued over unattainable perfection.

The Magic in Your Song(Trixya)
A trixya love story Beatrice aka Trixie owns a multimillion dollar company along with a lost/broken dream. Yekaterina aka Katya owns a creative soul and lost hope. Both have baggage. They both also hold the key to the other's happiness in the form of a shoulder to cry on, motivation, cheesy texts, bad jokes, pints of ice cream and laughs. Will they take the keys or walk away from the locked door? One tells a story of finding who you are and how to move on after you've made mistakes. A story of picking up broken pieces and putting them back together. While letting people in. Finding friends along the way and learning that they won't leave you no matter how bad you think it is. The other tells the story of chasing your dream even if you are given the world and all of it's gold. Rising to your own standards and walking the path you want to pave. While laughing and growing as the person you want. Both stories connect and the new story as a whole is filled with laughs, tears, love, fights, growth, hope and lots of cake pops and granddad jokes.

The Hockey Star and the Ice Princess (Complete)
For Rachel Beckett the Olympics was a huge defining moment in her life, something she had been working tirelessly towards since she was five years old. Winning that gold medal meant everything to her and when she finally got there and choked, her life was turned upside down. What do you do when everything you've worked for your whole life is gone and you instantly go from being America's Sweetheart to a laughing stock? Well I can tell you what Rachel did. She ran. She moved to Texas, changed her hair color, started going by her middle name and tried to forget she ever did figure skating. When she finally went back to her hometown three years later to visit her family, she ran into her old figure skating coach and he convinced her that she could have a second chance to make her dream of Olympic gold happen. Falling in love with the new hockey coach wasn't part of the plan. Making her comeback ended up being a lot harder than she thought it would be, especially when family turmoil, anxiety, tragedy and love get in the way, but maybe a second chance and someone to believe in her is all she needs to make it happen. **** Very mature themes & sexual content - 18+ only!Complete
A Lasting Curse
This is my first story to be posted on Wattpad. This is the story of a curse, and those bearing it learning to make it their own. It is a story of love, and hope. A story of conflict and despair. If you can't handle mature topics such as self harm, alcoholism, war, PTSD, depression, chronic illness, please don't read it. Otherwise, enjoy this special story! I am also co-writing this with @Endereye587, and they are a really good writer so I recommend looking at some of their stuff. Trigger warning because there is mention of self-harm and alcoholism, as well as general mental health stuff.
