Hello everyone! It’s usually tradition this time of year for me to post a short Christmas story with some of my characters. I was going to do one with R and Elias, but I really wanted to write an Ashton Christmas snippet from my co-authored project with Lori Scharf. So, here you go! *** “You’ve... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone! Today I have a special interview with my good friend Allie Lynn! She gave me the pleasure of getting to interview her and share that interview with all of you. Enjoy! Tell us a little bit about yourself and your writing journey! I’ve been a reader and storyteller all my life (big surprise... Continue Reading →
Most of you know the feeling. You’ve been working hard, spending day in and day out working on this project. You’ve made outlines, characters, and written scene after scene. Then finally you write those magical two words. The End. Or perhaps you haven’t finished yet. You’re still working on those scenes and trying your best... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone! Today I have a snippet that isn’t quite a short story, but is the first part of a small project I wrote this month for Inktober. Yes, I know Inktober is usually a drawing challenge during October, but in the writing program I’m in (https://theyoungwriter.com/workshop-students) we often use the drawing prompt list and...

It’s been a while, but I’m back! I managed to write a few short stories this week, so I thought I’d share one of them with all of you! Happy reading! *** It was pretty cool, but R wasn’t going to spend all day gawking at it from an overlook, that was final. Really, it’d... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone! Today I have another short story for all of you! It’s not R and Elias, but I’m experimenting with a new main character for a story I’m brainstorming! *** The darkness crept from every corner, all but smothering the light from the candle that sat on the table. Stiff silence filled the air... Continue Reading →

Wouldn’t the readers kill you, as the author, for giving your character a ghost? Well, that’s not exactly what... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone! I have a super special short story (I love that alliteration XD) from a different project that I haven’t mentioned on this website yet. What is that project? Well, my good friend Lori. S and I are writing a story together that we’ve been planning for about a year now. It’s a story... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone! Today’s snippet features some very different characters than a lot of my previous short stories. So, instead of R, Elias, and the gang, you get Edgar and Ila (who I came up with on the spur of the moment). Happy reading! *** I never thought I’d have to say goodbye so soon. I...

One of the best decisions I ever made in my writing was deciding to start writing multiple POVs (point of views) within my stories. Especially within my current project. Why was it one of my best decisions? Well, mainly because it’s fun and it also gives me a chance to tell more of the story... Continue Reading →
