Wait! I Wrote That?
|SPECIAL EDITION · PRE-PUBLICATION · 10X FEATURED · 2X SPOLIGHT STORY| Saddened by her lonely life, a little girl named Victoria Christie uses her inventive imagination to write stories. Now that she's older, she must find a way to share her tale with the world. *** Victoria Christie never expected to be a writer, but everything changed in 4th grade when she annoyed her mother at a barber shop. She told Victoria to write in her school notebook, which sparked her daughter's lifelong passion for writing. Now, many years later, Victoria is eager to share her story through an interactive novel that showcases how her writing has changed over time and what hardships she faced to keep her island of personality-especially after her brother's unfortunate death in 2021. With the power of writing and her brother's legacy, will Victoria's old stories spark the interest of an audience? Will they interact with her and tell her how her incomplete pieces should end, or will Victoria remain an undiscovered author? This is an anthology of my old stories. Most are incomplete, so it's up to my audience to decide how they should end. This is the story of how I became Viktoria Fyodorova. Let the cringe begin! *** *Amazing cover by @Shreya_VA!* Word Count: 200,000-250,000Complete

What if your name didn't matter? What if no one knew who wrote what-only how it made them feel? What if it wasn't about being known, but about being unforgettable? What if, for once, you stopped asking, "Am I good enough?" ...and just entered the damn ring? Because this isn't your average writing contest. This is plot twists, pressure, passion. This is chaos in chapters. It's anonymous. It's brutal. It's electric. And no one is safe. Stories will crash. Some writers will rise. One will win. The rest? Let's just say... the pen cuts deep. So now what? You in? Or you watching from the sidelines... again?Complete

Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

One Shot Stories
As MissLovelyTales, I write one-shot stories that dive into the raw, unfiltered emotions we often try to hide - love that never reached the lips, heartbreaks masked with smiles, and the lingering "what ifs" we carry in silence. Each piece I create is a glimpse into the fleeting moments that leave the deepest marks on our hearts. My stories aren't always about happy endings. Sometimes, they're about quiet goodbyes, unsent letters, and the beauty of moving on. I write for the overthinkers, the feelers, the ones who love in silence and heal in secret. Every one-shot is a universe in itself - short, but heavy; simple, but striking. And I hope that through my words, you find parts of yourself... and maybe a little peace too.Complete

Draft Thought
This story is meant as journal for self-reflection purposes only. As someone whose emotions and thoughts are in constant chaos, I'm still grappling in this reality that I'm having a hard time to manage these intrusive thoughts that I often ruminate a lot. It's making me lose my mind and I'm struggling on how to articulate and express myself, but at least in here, I'm going to vent here. Feel free to exit this story if you don't like it. I'm just someone whose living in silence. You don't need to continue reading this one if it doesn't make sense to you. You know how I write things out of random and you might not understand some things. I feel chaotic inside that it's too hard to explain. Take note that this is not your typical story, this only contains words of personal essay which is based from daily experiences of the writer itself. And as a respect to the writer, refrain from commenting accusatory remarks and profanities. This story is entitled Draft Thought for a reason. A daily life reflection of thoughts, feelings and even random topics to talk about. An outlet to release the burdens placed on my mind, and as a way of expressing my own view on things. A/N: On later part of the story, there goes a compilation of special entries meant for depth introspection, catching the essence of feelings and seeing the glimpse of my past solitude journey.Complete
