Sophomore Year
This is a diary of my life as a Sophomore in high school. I previously wrote a Freshman edition, so if you want to read about my first year in high school, you can. In my diary, I write about what happens during school, after school, with people, and other things. Hey, my name is Liliana, and I'm 16 years old. I have two siblings, an older sister and a younger brother. I'm a cheerleader, and I play tennis. 2020-2021Complete
The UnSlut Project
I was the 6th-grade "slut." And I kept a diary. So I decided to create The UnSlut Project in the hopes that my own diary entries could provide some perspective to girls who currently feel trapped and ashamed. I am publishing these entries one at a time, without changing a single word except for the names of the people involved. My limited commentary, which is confined to brackets in each entry, is meant to provide the relief of my current perspective, fifteen years later. The UnSlut Project: Working to undo the dangerous slut shaming in our schools, communities, media, and culture by sharing knowledge and experiences.Complete
A guide to being a badass woman
A short all-encompassing article in story form, that teaches any young woman/girl/ woman, to regain their confidence, or how to help overcome their insecurity. A guide that will help you come into your own and make you stronger and more confident with advice. Hopefully, it will help you find yourself and be on a journey. It's a guide if anything but there will be noticeable results. I'd say give it a few weeks and people will notice how much you have changed. (If I can think of more to add to this, I will expand on any new topics.) It's a living work in progress with new links and books added like a blog almost.Complete
One For The Road
"Oh my god, this Corvette is so fucking sexy." I ran my hand along the peeling red paint. It wasn't in the best condition, but a Corvette was a Corvette. "Can I drive it?" "There's no engine. We used it for parts," Drake said. My heart sank into my stomach, and I let out a wheeze. "You what?" "We were running low on funds, so we did what we had to do," Josiah said. "It never meant anything to us anyway." What the fuck? "How the hell can you call yourselves a racing team if you're willing to do that to one of the best-looking cars ever made?" I shook my head. "It's disgusting." "What? Racing?" Drake's mouth fell open. "Oh my god, no. We wanted a driver." I looked over at Josiah, then Drake. "I drive cars for a living, therefore I'm a driver. What's the confusion?" "You said you drove for RTR," Josiah said. I nodded. "Yeah, Roger Truscott Racing." "Oh no. Oh my god. Look, in our line of work, that means Real Time Robotics," Drake said. "Robotics? What the fuck is going on?" I asked. "You wouldn't happen to know much about combat robotics, would you?" Drake forced a smile, and it wasn't difficult to see the hope leave his eyes. *** Katie Moore is a controversial figure in the car racing world with several strikes against her. One, she is a female. Two, she is a female with opinions. And three, she is a female with opinions who thoroughly enjoys sharing them with no inhibition. A one-track mind (with a few side streets), all she wants is to win a race to shut everyone up about her mistakes and misfortunes. But when she's down on her luck, a team of nerds finds their way into her life, giving her an offer that she probably should refuse.Complete
