《Autumn Winds and Crimson Waters》A Child's Vocabulary

"It…" Starry Mouse frowned comically, her tiny brows scrunching up in such intense concentration that they practically fused together.
"It Pwin!" she declared.
"Pwin?" Lily was confused.
"Pwin!" Starry Mouse declared once more. "This flower is Pwin!"
She hopped on the spot, then turned and pointed at Mrs Lee's wedding photo. "Mommy is Pwin!"
"Ah." Lily smiled. "Do you mean pretty?"
She frowned, decided the specific syllables and intonations of the word "pretty" was not suitable for the infantile yet complex impression of elegance she had in mind, shook her head, and grinned. "Big sister Lily is Pwin!"
Lily laughed, stroking her hands through Starry Mouse's "Pwin" hair. "Alright, what's that?"
Starry Mouse stared at the large grandfather clock Lily gestured to and went deep into thought.
"Hmm…"
"Mmmmmmmm…"
"Hmmmmmmmmmm!"
"Bongby!"
Starry Mouse laughed happily. "Big bongby is pwin! Big bonby go bong~" she imitated the sound of a clock's chime.
Lily wasn't sure how to respond to that, so she smiled encouragingly and went to the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea.
"Oooh." Starry Mouse suddenly dashed to the fish tank and pressed her chubby face against the glass. There was an angry crayfish at the bottom, and a small electronic goldfish toy swimming around.
"Pwin fishy." Starry Mouse murmured.
"That's not a real fish, Starry Mouse," Lily said on her way back, sipping from a mug. "What are you going to call it this time?"
Starry Mouse considered.
"Ummmmm… I call it… Sofocles."
Lily spat out her tea.
"S-Sophocles???"
"No…" Starry Mouse changed her mind, unaware. "No Sofocles. Ummmm… ooh! Robofishy!"
Starry Mouse nodded her head in a self-satisfied manner. "Robofishy!"
Lily relaxed and continued to drink her tea. She heard keys being inserted into the door and turned around.

It was Mrs Lee, she's wearing a face mask and holding bags of shopping. She cleaned her hands with hand sanitiser, got out a can of disenfectant and began spraying herself madly.
"Mommy!" Starry Mouse cried happily. "Big sister Lily show me a pwin flower, and then a big bongby which go bong, and then the… the robofishy! The pwin robofishy! The pwin robofishy and the pwin flower and the pwin bongby!"
"What???"
Absolutely bamboozled, Mrs Lee helplessly turned to Lily.
Holding her tea, Lily laughed. "She had a fabulotastic day."

Twice Lived
Previously called Standard Reincarnation Story In a fraction of a moment, the Earth was no more. The planet was destroyed, and billions and billions of people were dead. And it was all an accident. This is the story of Elm. A regular American born once on earth and given a chance to be reborn again on a planet with magic and monsters and dungeons. Except that for Elm, this is far from the idealistic reincarnation into a loving family -- the standard story of a child raised by loving parents who teach him the ways of the world, Instead, Elm is born into a family of inquisitors. An order of nobility that is dedicated to hunting down and killing "Twice-Lived" -- the name society has for people like Elm who are reincarnated with all their memories of their past life intact. Disclaimer This story is: 1) Extremely violent and graphic. 2) Still in a rough draft stage. I see what I am writing more like a synopsis than a fully fledged story. I periodically will go back to flesh out earlier chapters, build characters, etc... If you find the words "Show don't tell," comforting accept that unfortunately, I'm not at that stage of the writing process yet. 3) At one point this story was called "Standard Reincarnation Story," and I had written an extremely off-putting description of the story. This was mostly to keep out people who would just read the silly first few chapters then rage quit as soon as the violent stuff got started. Since I just had my first .5 star rating (without a page read count increase) that technique is not working, so I might as well treat this as a regular fiction and try to get regular readers.

The Creator
My name is Lixon Rayver, and I am a published young author.I came to a point where I struggled to proceed to the second volume of my novel [The Legends of Udeville]. One night, I made an unintentional wish: "Rather than just imagining things, I think it would be better if I just live with my created characters and places so it would be easy for me to think of how my story would develop." Well...I think you can guess what happened next.----- God? I'm not sure. I don't think that I am either. But one thing that I can tell you, in this world, I have absolute authority. -Lixon Rayver

DarkBoi69's mediocre, rushed and badly-written aventure
Follow DarkBoi69's edgy adventure as I move him through a shitty plot where he meets terribly-written characters like angry evil stupid villains and naive cute useless busty women. This story is not really an actual serious story but simply a writing exercise for me to focus on overall writing speed, forcefully insert some writing in my everyday life to increase productivity and most importantly help with turning ideas, thoughts or feelings into writing directly without feeling blocked, hopefully trying to achieve something as close as possible to writing unconsciously what i’m thinking about. I'll probably try to do something like writing as much in 30 mins as I can, nearly every-day. So far I've only done this once and it already seems like a pretty good thing to do. I don’t have anything planned and that’s probably going to be a constant for every one of these exercises, so it’ll end up being not very good (although maybe better than it has any right to be? ) and nonsensical.
