So because I was feeling nostalgic, I went back and looked at some of my old stories and was...kind of horrified at what I found. I mean yeah, I wrote them in 2011 when I was sixteen. I'm now turning twenty and I've been writing for five years and I feel like I've grown so much as a writer and those stories are just like a damn thorn in my side.So since I'm home for the summer and I'm only working...

I thought this might be a good place to put some final fun facts and trivia for the story!- Mina’s original name was Stevie Hawkins.- Luke was originally named Dan, but then I realized I had two Dans and had to change it.- Walker is named after Johnny Walker Blue, and Lola Montez is named after the Volbeat song.- After Mina leaves Myles in “Bittersweet Memories,” she was supposed to have a...

I’m all moved into my new room at school and I have to say, our room is pretty fuckin’ bomb! I’m living with my best friend and her side is all artsy and feminine and my side has all my vinyl up and it makes such a cool contrast. It’s a definite improvement from the building we were living in last year that was a mile off campus and kinda dank.In other news, I saw Slash with Myles Kennedy...

Working 40 hours a week is actually exhausting and I had no idea. I've just finished my third week of work and I feel like my energy is being sucked out my nose with a straw or something equally gruesome. But I do love my job and I do love all the people I work with. Unfortunately 99% of them are beyond attractive and my thirst level is at an all time high every time I walk into that office. I've...

I have a job! An actual nine to five, taxable job! I mean, it’s just an internship for the next month before I go back to school, but they’re actually going to pay me for something. I have an orientation thing to do tomorrow that I’m kind of worried about because I don’t do well when forced into social interaction for long periods of time, but I’m gonna suck it up. That’s mostly...

I'm bored today so I'm doing these lol.• What’s your name?Nadia, but my Internet friends call me Dia and I kind of prefer it.• How old are you?

I have this problem with writing where I end up with eight billion ideas and not enough time to work on all of them, so they inevitably get shelved and eventually abandoned. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has this problem. Most of my writer friends have the same issue with too many ideas and too little time. I may have hit upon a solution today, however. I’m setting up a rotation where I...

I'm making a tutorial for a friend that will teach her how to make a custom layout for stories. Would anyone else be interested in that? Should I put it up on here in like a blog or something? I mostly learned by fiddling with stuff, but it would have been so much easier if I’d had a written guide. If anyone’s interested in seeing what my layouts look like, find examples here and here and this...

I’m really bored and I need something to do while I procrastinate, so send me your stories to read! I’ve been looking for new stuff to read for a long, long, loooooong time, but I can never seem to find any that interest me. I’m down for original fiction and fan-fiction. I’ll read pretty much anything at this point and if I find a bunch I like maybe I’ll do like a recommendation...

I'll be moving out of my dorm in two weeks so I'm giving my half of the room a deep clean in preparation for having to lug all my shit back to LA, and it’s just dawned on me how much stuff I’ve accumulated in the past year. It doesn’t even feel like it’s been a full school year, maybe because my university is on the quarter system. And while I’m cleaning my own things out, I’m thinking...
