A Day without my phone
Yawning, I stirred sleepily in bed, reaching for the edge of my bedside table to grab my phone. The time read 7 a.m. on the dot. I had an uneasy feeling that something was amiss, but I just couldn't figure out what. It took one rub of my eyes and a quick glance at my phone's screen to know what was wrong—ugh, my battery percentage. It showed a glowing 2%, or was it just my mind making my doom shine like the sun?

The Silent Audience: What Writers Don’t Talk About Enough
Let’s be honest—most of us write for people who never tell us if they read a single line. You go for hours to days trying to perfect your little piece of poetry, but when the time comes for you to release it to the world and hit "publish," you're enveloped in silence—the kind that's loud enough to deafen (literally). That part hurts. If I could search for more pain-filled words, I'd have done so and filled a whole paragraph with them. And honestly, that's something so discouraging that it makes you want to go back into your shell and stay there forever.

5 Small Habits That Improved My Creativity This Month
How do I even begin this… The key is to start from somewhere, right? I can say that I took a little, actually more than a little, break from this site. Contributing factors owed to how buzz-filled life became, and that's when I really had to pave more time for my writing. Slacking off isn't a wonderful experience, I tell you — and not only in writing, in literally all aspects of your life.

One Night. One Rule. And One Secret Too Many.
Emily thought it was just a simple babysitting job. One night. One rule. But the mansion she entered held secrets darker than she could imagine. A cursed legacy. A child lost to time. And a bloodline she couldn't escape.

The First Time I Fell in Love Was Also the Last
They say your first love stays with you forever. I never expected mine to fade as quickly as it arrived. This is a story about first love, the kind that feels all-encompassing and transformative, but is also fleeting. A shy 17-year-old girl, in the summer before college, unexpectedly finds herself in the grip of a romance with a boy who makes her feel seen for the first time. But as quickly as it begins, it ends, leaving her to process the impact of that love and how it changed her. It's about the memories that linger after the goodbye, and the way a single summer can leave a permanent mark. I'm excited to share this coming-of-age, bittersweet love story and would love feedback on pacing, emotional depth, and character development.

The kind of person who watches life from the sidelines—introverted, observant, not the type who’s ever been in love before. My world is small, familiar, and safe… until he arrives.
