In this fantasy-horror epic, a toymaker and his hunchback companion explore a nightmarish gothic landscape in search of a lost magic artifact that is said to have the ability to bring the dead back to life. Unbeknownst to them, a powerful dark lord is also in search of this artifact in order to harness its power for his own purpose.
I'm a screenwriter who has never written a novel/novella or anything in narrative fiction before, so go easy on me. I'm not even sure if this is any good but I thought I'd post chapters as I finish rough drafts of them to see if people even enjoy reading it or not. Anyway, here it is! Hopefully it's not total bullshit. This is my first stab at this sort of thing so I'll only continue posting chapters if and when anyone expresses interest in reading more. Otherwise, here's a sample of some possibly good or bad writing!

im gna be honest this is a huge work in progress, but essentially After a major traumatic event in Griffen Westons life sends him spiraling into a life he never expected, things seem beyond fixing. He had never felt so empty. But grief has a certain smell. It's a scent that attracts a certain kind of creature when you head out into the woods. His dreams tell him tales before he sees them. He watches this mysterious wisp of white hair and green cloth dart about the moss to evade him. The scent of patchouli and lavender with the pugent musk of sulfur harrasses him into submitting into this feeble attempt at following her. Or It. Whoever this person may be, they heard him calling out. They knew what he needed. He never expected to find himself so enamored with something so unique. But he didnt know how to find a way to stay away from this curiosity. TW for death, grief, suicidal ideation/tendencies later on, graphic descriptions of injury, self harm, and other possible dark themes i will brush up on. edit: wattpad deformated everything i promise it looked pretty at one pointComplete
Every book I never finished.
(if anyone wants to continue my stories make sure you tag it burningsnowman) I struggle with finishing my novels so I thought hey why not throw them all into one book... This book (not plural) doesn't just stick to one background it changes consistently leaving it impossible to figure out what might happen next. Also, some storeys end midway, therefore it leaves you frustrated but in a good funny way and you could even make an ending yourself. This novel is pretty much full of books I find to be a disappointment or non-continuable therefore when I make another crappy book it will be right here for all to see(oh wait that means your seeing how crappy my writing is.) But no my writings is fairly decent and I promise I will have you intoxicated in my stories. oh and also there may be mistakes purely because they're not finished. (I really don't know what genre this should be)Complete

"Shadow's Redemption: The Cursed Guardian"
In a world where darkness reigns and hope is a distant memory, Zephyr Nightshade wakes up in a haunted dungeon with no memories except for his violent death in modern-day Earth. Now reincarnated as a half-demon with extraordinary powers, he discovers he's been chosen as a Cursed Guardian - beings destined to either save or destroy the realm of Shadowhaven. As he navigates through monster-filled dungeons and uncovers ancient secrets, Zephyr must decide whether to embrace his demonic nature or fight against it. Accompanied by Luna Moonwhisper, a mysterious witch with her own dark past, and Rex Shadowfang, a wise-cracking werewolf who's not as funny as he thinks he is, Zephyr faces increasingly dangerous challenges. What starts as a simple quest for survival turns into an epic adventure when they discover a sinister plot involving corrupt gods, ancient curses, and a prophecy that could reshape reality itself. But here's the twist - the very power Zephyr needs to save everyone might be what destroys everything he grows to care about. And worse yet, the memories of his past life are slowly returning, revealing a truth that might break him completely. (I also have my book on Royal Road and scribble hub!)
Elemental Heir | ✔️
(Complete) **A MATURE FANTASY** Book #1 in the Elemental Heir Series. Now published and available in PAPERBACK and KINDLE on AMAZON!! 🤍 "Your ready wit never fails to surprise and delight me, Brenya." He murmured, his lips only inches from my own. I blinked, my lips parting, as his heady scent encircled me. He licked his lower lip, running his teeth over it as his electric blue eyes burned into mine. The heat of his bare chest seeped through my thin cotton shirt, thawing my icy irritation. "Even when you're being cross." He added in a low voice. He leaned closer, before I could respond, and ran his teeth along my jaw. I suppressed a moan. "I wouldn't be cross if you weren't so keen on irritating me." I said, unable to hide the smile in my voice. I felt his answering smile against my neck. "How can I make it up to you?" He whispered, planting gentle kisses up and down the column of my throat. He moved to the other side of my neck, flicking his tongue once against the mating mark near my shoulder. My hands slid up his abdomen, exploring the dips and hard lines of his muscles. Heat uncurled deep in my belly, spreading lower, and lower, until I felt my panties dampen. He growled into my ear, sending shivers down my entire body. *~*~*~*~*~* ~#1 in ROMANCE 9/13/18~ ~#1 in ACTION-ADVENTURE 12/05/18 and 4/25/19~ ~#1 in ACTION-ROMANCE 1/16/19~ ~#1 in DRAGONS 6/9/19~ ~#1 in FAIRIES 7/20/19~ *~*~*~*~*~* ⚠️!!

Will you Still Look at me Again?
After an incident caused by his depression, a renounced worker in the adult entertainment industry, Romero Porcupine, decides that a change of scenery would be a nice decision for himself. So, he decides to go and move to what he's told is a nice, quiet town. Everything seems to be going great. The townsfolk seem nice. The scenery is amazing. It's not too far from the city, and the best part, nobody seems to know who he is. And, I mean, who wouldn't LOVE to live in a house right next to the woods in a town that is said to have a "Wolf Problem" (whatever that means,) AM I RIGHT??? No but seriously, with everything he does, he seems to dig himself into an even bigger hole that he can't get out of, and it gets to the point that keeping his job a secret is the least of his worries as of right now. On top of all that, he now needs to try and figure out how to process some new... information... he ends up getting about the world he lives in. Although, just maybe, he can find someone in this town to confide in? Someone who seems like he can trust. Someone who seems a bit... familiar. Hope you guys enjoy the book!!! (Side note: I know I don't usually post this type of stuff, as, if you could not already tell this is supposed to be SMUT. DETAILED, (mostly) GAY SMUT. Obviously, you may think, why even write this BS??? Well, I thought it would be nice to change it up a bit and dive into areas of writing I normally don't do. Get out of my comfort zone a little. If Quan Millz can push out the most confusing things I have ever seen in my life and make it into a book, I think I can publish this one book. If you guys have any types of stories that you think I should make, or any genres you think I should explore writing, let me know!!)
