Stories


These aren't arranged alphabetically, or in the order they were written, but in no particular order, or rather, an order that made sense to me a long time ago but that isn't applicable anymore--because I don't see why I arranged them this way. Some stories mean more to me because of how they made me feel when I wrote them--some that made me laugh, others that made me cry. Yes I get emotional when I write!

I laughed right out loud when I wrote, "You Were an Accident" and cried while writing, "An Unwanted Life," "Avoiding Alicia," "Grace," and others. I hope you enjoy the stories I've chosen to include in my portfolio.

Oh, keep in mind, these are all fiction. I know some people worry that these are true stories of my life, especially when I use first person narrative--they aren't. But that you might think they are real, I will take as a huge compliment of my writing abilities! *Bigsmile*

I still haven't gone back and completed my editing of many of these. Sorry about the typos if you come upon them. I know where they are, and swear that one of these days I'll find the time to fix them. *Smile*
