Checkers—Short Story

I love a good short story full of sibling banter XD and that’s exactly what this story is. It takes place about six months after the end When Wings Break. Happy reading! *** “Just give up.”  “Never.”  “Come on,” R rolled her eyes. “You know you can’t win. I was always better at this game.” ... Continue Reading →

Five Things Every Plot Twist Should Include

Almost every story has one. Authors cackle as they write them. Readers faint from shock. Characters take three chapters just to understand what just happened because of them. I’m talking about plot twists. Plot twists are often the most important thing in the story. They directly move the characters and plot and keep the readers... Continue Reading →

Escape-Short Story

Hello, hello! Today I bring a fun little short story I wrote for fun, starring Ava! XD It’s not my best work, but it’s certainly a chaotic, hilarious, and lighthearted snippet. Enjoy! **** So maybe it’d been a bad idea to release fifteen toads in Zaria’s bedroom, but for the record, most of it had... Continue Reading →

Strong Relationships in Stories

Characters tend to be loners. Authors often kill their parents, siblings, and probably anyone else who is close to their main character. XD Well, not always.

The Importance of Character Injuries

So, today I bring you a short story from his POV when he was a kid.  *** Run.  The sound of gunshots rang in Kaden’s ears. The ground rumbled with... Continue Reading →

Character Guest Post: Ava’s Bucket List

Transferred from a fictional universe by A.J. Syngraféas.  *** Yello, internet! This is technically my first time posting something on the internet, but I’ve always wanted to start a blog or a YouTube channel or something of that sort. But I’m getting off topic, so anyway I suppose I'll introduce myself. (At least that’s what... Continue Reading →

Writing Impactful Dialogue

We’ve all read those books and watched those movies that bring those quotes we can’t help but throw in a conversation. Or the conversations we can’t help but cry or leap for joy over.  Writing impactful dialogue is (at times) hard. For some it comes easy to write those quotes. For others it can feel...
