As many of you know, my last two jobs (previous and current), I work with and around customers. My last job was at a convenience store / gas station. I have plenty of "fun" stories about working there; like the one time someone had a bad "pass" of meth in the bathroom, in the words of my coworker who once had a bad "pass" or whatever.But that's not what this blog post is about. Even though I could...

When I was going to college for creative writing and I had to critique my peers' work, there was always a system that I used. It was what me and my fellow CW majors called a "shit sandwich."In my creative writing class, there were only three people who were majors and knew how to write a well-rounded story. So I got my fair share of stories that didn't have proper syntax, or grammar, and were just...

I was talking with my coworkers about this person who works at the convenience store across the street. I haven't met them yet, but the girls here seem to love them. From what I'm told, this person "looks like a man, wears men's clothing, but wears make-up, and their name tag says Monica." (I've changed their name for their privacy.)Now, my first question to my coworkers was, "Do you know this...

So I just finished my baby, the story that I've been working on for three-and-a-half years, Blood Lust. and I want, so bad, to do Blaze's side of the story. And I want Blaze to have this, "I'm sobetter than a serial killer" attitude. Like he doesn't understand why killing people is bad.But then I told my coworkers today, and they were like, "THAT'S WHAT DEXTER IS ALL ABOUT!!!"And guys, I've never...

I'm finding it so difficult to actually care at my job. Thank God none of you are my customers or else you would literally hate me and you might report me to my manager.I'm not really that good at listening to customers, especially if they start telling me everything that they have to do.Case and point, the customer in front of me keeps telling me that they have to go to the store and then they...

I have been having an issue with my titles lately. For most of my stories, it comes easy; it's the last thing to do with my story and it comes with time and wrapping up the story. Meet Cute is about the failed meet-cute between my two characters. Fall With Me chronicles a gentleman who is trying to get his girlfriend to commit to showing emotion; think, "fall with me into love" or at the end "fall...

I'm such a foodie. I love food, I love the idea of food, I love cooking food. Let me tell you, I'm more of a foodie than I ever thought possible.I have made Crème brûlée, triple chocolate triffles, tiramisu, risotto, pork tenderloin, filet mignon, chicken Parmesan, stirfry. The list goes on.But I want to do is I want to get more ideas from people. Who doesn't love food?Right now, on my list of...

I'm like Judy Hopps from Zooptopia, when she was in that play as a little girl. I'm gushing blood, and I'm trying to decide which stab wound in my back is the one I really need to be concerned about and stitch up.But there are so many right now, that I can't seem to determine which is worse.I'm so lost and I don't even know who I am anymore. I feel like I'm losing everything about what makes me...

I don't really, but I feel like this really could pertain to my life right now.I have had four different friendships seemingly burst into flames. And the only constant is me. So am I the accelerant or something?So on the 23rd, one of my friends texts me, asking to be a tutor for her daughter. Now, I expressed my concerns, saying, "While I'm more than honored, trust me, I don't think I would be the...

I feel like I don't fit in. I don't belong. I started a new job back in October, and I felt like I didn't "make it" with the girls here.Okay, a refresher about me. I'm non-binary. I don't know my pronouns because nobody fucking cares, anyway, so I go with whatever people call me. (Sure, that raises hell when pronouns are thrown in there, yada, yada, yada.)Anyway, so I'm non-binary, and I'm ace,...

It has struck me that having few readers on stories makes me humbler. Maybe I'm just weird. But the few readers and subscribers of my story The Other Things has really made me appreciate them. They're quiet, but I have a few that I still see reading the chapters.I love all of my readers and subscribers to all my stories, but I really am humbled by the fact you have decided to read my stuff. Like,...

I'm going to put a blanket warning out here. Whether I need it, I will leave you to decide. I'm basically talking about sexual attraction / sex.I've spoken out about this a lot, and it bothers me that I still have to tell people this but then they don't believe me.I've been called a crazy abstinent people by too many people.I'm ace.Yes, I'm a 'dreaded asexual.'In all seriousness, I've been called...

I realize that I haven't been on here in nearly a month: On here and being active, I should amend.I remember a year ago, a year-and-a-half ago, I was always on here. I don't think a day went by that I wasn't reading and commenting, posting stories or blogs. I was always creeping on people by randomly showing up, reading their stories, commenting, recommending, and subscribing.I think I just passed...

After almost a year, I finally put in my two weeks. Yesterday was my last day. It was pretty weird, working the last two days. I hadn't been excited to leave, and as we wrapped up last night, I felt like I was going to go back in on Monday. But I'm not. It's strange.I wasn't very vocal about this a year ago when I started, but I worked at a convenience store / gas station. It was a decent job, a...

I had work yesterday at three, and I left about 20 minutes early for a seven minute drive. I took my normal route, a dirt road that is posted at 35 miles per hour. But on a straight-away, I felt my tires drift, so I slowed down. Immensely.But as I turned a corner, the ditch on the left side of the road caught my wheels and pulled me to the right side. I slammed my car into a raised embankment and...

So I saw All Time Low on Thursday, the 19th.Let me just say:Best. Concert. Ever.While waiting in line outside the venue, 4 Door Theatre came by and played some songs to get a fan base. I told the singer, "I don't know if I want to buy the CD. You should sing me a song and put my name in it while I think about it." So he sang me "Porcelain Face" and put my name in it. After, I just said to him,...

I haven't been following All Time Low a lot lately. I haven't listened to Full Frontal, which bums me out. But today, I was sitting in my car on the way to Concord and I really wanted to see ATL. So I got home today and I immediately looked up tour dates. All Time Low will be in my relative area around my birthday. Whoo! They are playing in Philadelphia on the actually day of my birthday, Lowell...

So several days ago, I posted a blog because I wanted to become a little more active on the site. Read the blog, because if that sounds interesting, I’m going to be doing another one soon. Like, as soon as I post this blog.But as part of my blog, I also wanted to make a recommendation aspect of it, because I loved all of the pieces I read.So without further ado, and in no particular order, the...

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. When I graduated from high school a year ago June 18th, I was really excited. I was going to go to some great university, get a degree in Creative Writing and English (Literature), publish another novel, have that career that I’ve wanted since I was five, find someone who could handle my whims and shit, and then I’d be happy finally. Out of the six...

Hey guys! How are you today? I’m pretty good, because of this blog post. I’m reviewing another story that placed well in my contest.As you might remember, a couple months ago I hosted a contest, fueled by an idea JamieAllOver came up with, which was called “A Total Feels Overload.” The idea was to “hit me with your best shot” in the feels department. And let me tell you, all of the...
