Back again everyone, this time,  for good. I'm currently in the process of reworking a piece I wrote for a competition on here (the story is called Lola, Lora, and Luna) into a full novel (possibly a series!) So be on the lookout for that. My goal is to have the first chapter up by the end of this month, since the drafts I have so far are still pretty rough, and I need to do a bit more story mapping. I may also be posting short stories occasionally. I'm planning on keeping this account almost exclusively fiction. If your interested in more than that, this summer, I'll also be launching a blog where I'll be posting personal essays, essays about other things, and more long form and expository/reflective works. Thanks to everyone who is still interested in my writing!

Wow okay so two years later, I am actually attending that residential camp for the first time. Tomorrow is our last day and it has been a crazy, intense, and rewarding experience. A friend here reminded me of this site, so I came to peek at my old account. Looking back at this, I definitely want to pick up this account again, especially because most of the writing I've been doing at this camp/my internship has not been creative. I'll be trying to create content on here consistently to practice my skills and receive feedback, but we'll see where senior year takes me! Thanks to everyone who I still reading and commenting on my stuff!!!! I truly appreciate the votes, recommendations and kind comments!!

Okay everyone, I don't know how many of you actually read these but if you do, I've got lots of news. 
          
          So basically, around the end of 2013, I decided to take my writing a lot more seriously. Like career seriously. So because of that, I'll be going to a residential camp for the first week of August to pursue this. But, more relevant to you guys, I will probably not be posting too much more of my original work on here (because of copyrighting and things like that.)
          
          I'm NOT deleting though! So what will I be using this account for you may ask? Well, to keep in touch with friends that I've made here for one:) Also, receiving feedback on what I already have up and doing critiquing and editing so as to help others:) I'd hate to see all the work I've already put in here go to waste, and it would be really cool to help others improve while I'm at it. 
          
          So as of now, I am open for edits and critiques:)
          
          Thanks for understanding all and thanks for all the support you've given me so far!

How would you guys feel about me doing more updated fairy tales? If you're for it, do you have any suggestions? (If you haven't read the first one, it's my Royal Tournament Submissions book if you're interested.)

I'd like to see more! I love modern twists on old myths and stuff. You could do Sleepy Hollow? The Headless Horseman guy :))

It's going to be a longer version of one of the short stories that I posted on here a bit earlier. It's a fantasy (which is a genre that I read a lot, but haven't written much about). Demons are going to be the creatures that it mostly focuses on, but I might bring in a few others.
