so in 2017/2018 I met someone that really taught me that sometimes people are in bad situations but a lot of times that isn't the whole story. That person really taught me that sometimes we look at people and their situations in a sort of black and white, type of viewpoint. But the reality of it all is that people are made up of so much more than one mistake. Our mistakes shouldn't define us. So, Between the Redwoods was born on a snowy winter day and I've been working on it for some time now.
Flow... I had all these ideas and scenes that I wanted to write in my head and I needed them to flow into a sort of well-defined story. It was challenging but I think it now flows.
I think the scenes with Wyatt are my favorite I think he's such a complicated person and someone that at a point in time we can all resonate with. Someone's who's really in love with the idea of someone. And who struggles with that person not loving them back.
I've gotten a pretty good response surprisingly, I have my core group of supporters, I will say though that the story is pretty different and slow-moving so i think it's harder to draw people in.
it's a stand-alone novel. I really don't like writing series I like when a book end's for you to be able to imagine where the characters will go and what they will do. I think series sometimes takes that freedom away from the reader.

My mom and my dad met each other unknowingly years before they officially met each other. They only recognized that fact after they'd been married a while and recognized that they were at the same hotel that had a fire years later. the funny thing about the story is that my mom is from the north and my dad is from the south so it's pretty amazing that they were at the same hotel all those years ago. Anyway all that being said, when i found that out i kind of lived by the philosophy that we've probably already met our soulmate and just don't know it yet. so that's one thing i want people to take

write from you're heart and don't let people get you down. A few of my wattpad friends have gotten some pretty harsh reviews as of late and seeing how well they took it really showed me that if you're confident in your story and love your story then that's all that matters.

She shares some similarities with me, probably her being a recluse, and her confidence issues.
It's a fun story, you can't really tell where it's going, I just had a book reading and a lot of the people there just fell in love with the characters Owen and thought the story was going so many different directions. There are so many cliff-hangers, i think it'll keep new readers interested.
Yes actually i love suspense so i already have my next book in progress. I have a few words to describe it by, 18th century, murder, and arranged marriage. I think it will be really amazing I'm excited to start it.

A Nerd's Wet Dream Come True (Tossing an OC into Marvel)
John was an average man. At least that's what he tells himself at night. He lived in a rented apartment in the decent district, a well-paying job, and more student debt than he cared to think about being steadily paid off. Yet he was absolutely miserable. He spent his days living like a zombie, a slave in all but name to corporate. His only joy these days it seems was reading comics and writing fanfics. SI ones. Choke full of power fantasies and large harems. Yeah, even he had to admit he was a loser. His only redeeming feature seemed to be his photographic memory and the library's worth of comics and books he has read. Yet, when fate took pity on him and had John transported into the Marvel Universe, he was only all too happy to oblige. A second chance to make something of himself. Is he going to finally have the comfortable life he wanted? Will he laze away relying on his past life's knowledge or does he want more this time? Will his ambition and hard work lead to sweet fruits, or will it rot away in the darkness hiding beneath the colorful costumes of the hero's society? Now with crossovers! Be warned if you don't like to see OCs messing up the timeline or DC and other stuff showing up. I swear I'm not randomly adding stuff and there is a legitimate (as far as comic books and fanfics can be) plot reason why. (I'll be honest, I don't know "cannon" marvel really... I watched some movies and animated series as a kid, but I haven't picked up a comic in years. This is just some light-hearted and casual writing for fun. If there are any errors or something you think would be cool please let me know.) I'm also trying to have multiple main characters so that might be jarring for some people while I switch perspective. Sorry in advance, I'm new at this and idk what I'm doing, advice and feedback gladly welcomed!

Dark Of The Sun
Jordan, the last living Sorceress of Bal’Talanor blood, has come of age at last. She is the rightful Heir, but she has grown up on Earth, unmindful of her identity. She has never heard of the world of Andoherra, nor of World Queens, and, to her, magic is nothing but a parlour trick. When she accidentally finds her way back to her homeland, she discovers her true nature, her awakening power – and the flamboyant Fire Queen who stands between her and her destiny. Calyx is a deadly Sorceress bound by duty to protect Jordan. She will stop at nothing to restore the heir to the throne and slay all those who stand in the way. This should be an easy task – well within the capabilities of her immense magic – but there are three things she didn’t bargain for: losing Jordan, a vengeful dragon, and the small problem of feelings for her mortal enemy, Nerys. Most frustrating of all, she doesn’t have long to debate which issue is the more pressing concern. The starving world of Andoherra is sliding toward total self-destruction, and all the magic in existence doesn't appear to be able to make a damned thread of difference.
