Just Another Writer Writing

*Authors Note* I do not condone underage drinking, in any situation. However, when mixing the prompt that I desired to follow and the characters that I decided to create, I realized what must be done. But just because my characters are doing it, doesn't mean that it's something I agree with. Thank you! Tonight is my last night of freedom-the last night to get out and do what I love to do before the whole world finds out who I am. For the past 6 years I’ve been able to live my life quietly, grow up in relative obscurity. No one has seen my face and therefore no one could come up with a good excuse as to why I shouldn’t live a normal life. Go to school, have friends, have a job, and sneak out to my favorite karaoke bar every Saturday night. Even Theo, the muscle that has managed to discretely follow me everywhere I go, has no idea where I go when I disappear from my palace bedroom. And tonight is the last night that I get to do any of it. It starts raining as I race down t...

Okay, so Kiera Cass’s “The Siren” was given to me as a Christmas gift recently. My best friend knows of my love for mermaids and myths, and is unabashedly feeding the obsession with every Birthday and Christmas since it started. I currently own 6 or 7 books featuring mermaids, and I have not bought a single one. That being said, this book is NOT about mermaids-but neither of us fully realized that until I was halfway I tot he book going “wait, this came with the mermaid stuff.” In all honesty, this book was slow starting for me. But, in the stoubornness to finish this book that was a gift, I pressed on. Listening to it was easier, starting out as a way to fill my time as I drove. By the end of the book, I was sitting for hours in my bedroom, letting myself be swept away into the world of the sirens. The ocean does not take mothers and she does not take wives. She takes young women, rescuing them from their watery grave. In return, she requires 100 years of their time. In that time, ...

Hello all! It's been forever and a day since I've uploaded a post, but in the course of this crazy blessed life I seem to have forgotten my love of reading and writing and sharing my own thoughts (shocker, right?) Anyhoo, this next year my goal will be for two posts a month. One short story, and one book review. This will not only help me keep my creative juices flowing, but keep my nose in books rather than in Netflix! Now, I will admit that time to sit down and read is hard to make, but I have recently been swept away into the world of audio books. That is how I came across this most recent read. Looking through the site, hoping to find a gem, I discovered something slightly out of my normal reading range. The Story Keeper follows Jen Gibbs, i.e. Jennia Beth, as she begins her new job as an editor for a small but thriving publishing company in New York City. This company just so happens to be the only one that still has a physical "slush pile". A pile of manuscri...
