Last year I took a creative writing class that started at the beginning of lockdown. My only assignment was to write two pages a day and try to record my thoughts/feelings and what the world was going through at the time. All of this is completely unedited so if there are a lot of mistakes I apologize. I wanted to keep it as genuine to what I was thinking and trying to say at the time. I hope you enjoy this dive into the chaos that is my thought process.

Over the Wall: A Collection of Short Stories (NaNoWriMo 2014)
This year for NaNoWriMo, I am writing a short story anthology. It will feature thirty or so short stories (my hope is to write one per day to fulfill my 1,667 per day word requirement) about varying things. Each morning, I will randomly select a number between one and thirty and I will look at the corresponding list of first lines I will have. I will take that line and write a short story using it and then the next day I will do the process over again (some stories might relate to each other, some might not). Anyway I will edit the story for that day and post it here. It may not be posted exactly on the corresponding day, but in the end there will be thirty short stories. P.S. Although these are somewhat edited they are still rough drafts so please treat them as such.Complete
Poems

Letters For You
This is going to be weird. At first at least. I haven't talked to you in over a year, but the teacher said we should use this diary to express our emotions and the only one I could ever be one hundred percent honest with is you. Those letters to you are worth 25% of my final grade so I must find some interesting things to talk to you about. It's going to be good for me too. It'll help me move on. Help me live my life again. I just hope that it will get easier because for now, just imagining talking to you every week brings it all back, all those feelings. I still hope that, one day, you will read those letters for real. That they won't just be a way to keep you in my mind. I'm not stupid, I know that you will never read them but imagining that you will helps me write what I really want to say. So this is for you, I hope you will enjoy. With all my love, EmilyComplete
High School!
Some people would call this a journal. I wouldn't be one of those people. Sure, I write about my day, and my feelings and about friends and various events that happen... and I'm starting to see why people call this a journal. But it isn't! I'm the writer and I say so! This is just a glimpse into my memories - the ones worth remembering at least. High school! Oh, what a time to remember. Crushes, crazy friends, and fun memories.Complete
After High School!
Time for a new start. Onward and upwards from school to university in London. Exciting isn't it? Yeah, no. More like frightening. Nervous. And my mind just blanked out any other synonyms. Anyway, with everyone making their own ways around, it's time to find some new crazy friends to hang around. It'd be good to find new people, maybe even a new crush. I think I deserve a good break from a ten-year unrequited crush. New beginning, new not-journal (I don't know what to call it yet, but I'm sticking to my guns).Complete
The CW Journals
Because I'm getting antsy from not posting and my profile seems really blank, I want to start catching up on posting the daily journal prompts we write in my creative writing class. We take 10 minutes to write for each journal, so the entries are rarely complete thoughts. They're not daily, per se, but I just want to post them. Give y'all something to read. Spoilers for incoming projects, maybe? Things I thought about adding in later, but might not. Really just an outlet for imagination.Complete
Creative Writing 2 Journals
A collection of 'journals' from my Creative Writing 2 class. Journals are like warm-ups that we do daily at the beginning of class. Each journal has a prompt that my wonderful teacher creates or finds online. The first 4 have a paragraph at the beginning in parenthesis that says "Paraphrased Prompt" because I don't remember exactly, word for word, what the prompt was. There shall be about 80 journals at least by the end of the semester. After journal number 43, it restarts at 1 because a new grading period began.. Each journal is MY writing; therefore, I own it. If you have any questions just ask me. :)Complete
✨ Oneshots ✨
Just something to improve my writing & creativity ! ;) *NO SMUT* *written with mostly British grammar/words* Please keep in mind that this is *purely* for enjoyment and all in good fun, it is in NO way meant to disrespect these people I'm writing about.
Life's Unexpected Turn
When the person you love becomes the one you fear most, survival becomes the only thing that matters. Parker Avery is a creative teacher and talented artist trying to rebuild her life after escaping a past filled with lies, betrayal, and unimaginable abuse. Moving to a new city offers her a chance to breathe again, to rediscover who she is beyond the scars she carries. Bailey Adams is a kindhearted college student who once believed she had the perfect life. But the woman she fell in love with has slowly become someone cruel and dangerous. Trapped in a relationship built on manipulation, fear, and violence, Bailey finds herself losing the person she used to be. When Parker and Bailey's lives unexpectedly cross, neither of them are ready to trust again. Both carry wounds that run deeper than anyone can see, and both fear that happiness may simply be something meant for other people. Yet sometimes healing begins in the most unexpected ways. The question is whether these two broken souls will find the strength to face their pasts and open their hearts... or if the damage done to them will keep them apart forever. _____________________________________________ Please note that the imagery used in my chapters are not 100% mine.

Dear Journal...
Just an online journal of my personal thoughts . No, I am not suicidal. No, I am not depressed. Just introverted, and I trap feelings in more than I'm supposed to .. So I let them out here.Complete
