Bio
I'm an aspiring novelist. I've started many stories and just recently become more confident in my abilities due to the encouragement of great friends and teachers. I'd like to spread joy through my writing, so prepare for happy endings. :)

Next Step: Backpedal
“Did you hear them play? Out of tune and just awful!” “ That’s the group I’m in . . . ” * * For anyone unaware, this is for Vocal’s Snafu Senryu challenge- basically, write a short poem about an awkward human experience. In the best possible way, I hope I made you cringe! 😁😇

Yeah . . . I think I Plagiarized
I've read another submission to this challenge, and it was absolutely lovely; "The Little Writer" by L. C. Schafer (sorry, I don't know how to add the umlaut to your name). The author sketched a story of childhood imagination and what it truly means to write, what it feels like to have stories in your mind and to convey them to something more solid. (Go read it. It's good!)

Bro-meo and Jeez-liet* (or, A Highly Educated Critique of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet)
Ok. Bill, we get it. You’re great. Your characterization? Insanely epic. Your made up words? Quite useful! But seriously? Did you HAVE to go and write something which people (who’ve never read it) always reference as the epitome of love? “I’m so sad- hey, she’s hot!” Marraige! Death! The end.

Stranger Things
Stranger and wilder and crazier things would’ve been fine if it didn’t mean gorier things, too. I mean, I’m here for the characters, and the backstory of season four? Wow. But, dear Duffer brothers, I honestly could use less crunching and cracking and smooshing and gooshing. You’ve gone too far.
