Below is a list of every single book I read in 2019. I kept this list running the entire year with the intent to publish it on New Year's Day, then completely forgot about it until today. If you have a question about a specific book, author, anything, feel free to leave me a comment!

One Of Us Is Lying by Karen McManus
The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart
Time Bomb by Joelle Charbonneau
Long Way Down ...

    A crab scuttled around my feet as I watched her walk away, the sight of her footprints in the sand blurring with the tears in my eyes. I didn't know if I would ever see her again. How could she have left me? What had I done to make my mother hate me?
    "Come on, Kallie," my sister Jen said gently, grabbing my hand in her larger one.
    "I don't want to go," I...

Aah! @-@ it's been a while! Sorry guys I've been super bleh recently! Anyways, I'll try and make this as short as possible lovely people!

1. I'm doing an OC redesign, so all of my numerous notebooks and sketchbooks filled with things will finally be put to good use! Although I won't link art in my writing, I will post a link to my Behance in my bio soon!
2. I'm changing my name! With the prospect of starting a youtube channel...

the stars cry to me
they whimper of the past
beautiful clusters
of blood and ash

the skies pour on me
they cannot soak the ground
tumbling breezes
carrying the dead

planets sing to me
they offer a new home
watchful beginnings
too far from my reach

"tell me, my friends, how to save you."

i cry to the stars
i watch as they fly fast
wonderful wishes
of fresh air to breathe

i pour on the skies
i let...

    She 
Was
    Lost
        When
She saw
        Him

He
    Picked up
        Her stars
    And
Put 
    Them
        Back 
            In
Her sky

round face girl. bitten lips broken heart
girl. cloud hair
thunder shadows girl.
flat palms circle-finger wrist
girl. shattered mirror lightning screams
ugly girl.

    Although I have only been on here about a month, I have definitely seen an improvement in my work, and I feel much more solid now in my place as a writer. I'm very grateful to everyone on Write the World who has encouraged me and reviewed my work.
    In return, I would like to do a contest like many of the fascinating competitions I've seen around here (although I have not taken part in any)....

Hello! I've been looking to practice reviewing, and I love to read others' work, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to start a contest! This is my very first contest ever, so I don't expect too many entries but I hope the prompts are interesting enough. Please comment any questions. Without further ado, let's see the prompts!

Prompt 1: A Child's Eyes
In this prompt, you will write a piece from the perspective of a child from infancy to...

In the howling of the storm, some part of you breaks free,
singing on harmony with the crashing of waves
                                                                      against
                                                                       cliff
                                                                       sides

and you know that whoever you were before this

                                        she's as good as dead now.



the salt of the sea calls you home
in every port town you stop by it is not the people that hold you

but the waves,
            gentle now in their
                                quiet movements
             and you had...

Hey everyone!

I'm about 19.5 now, so my account will be deactivated very, very soon. I actually got an email telling me to write this months ago, but I put it off because I didn't want to say goodbye yet. I'm not sure the exact day I'm being deactivated, but it will be soon, so I figured now is a good time to get this out to everyone.

I came onto Write the World years ago. Back before it really...

mother, someone is stuffing black dirt into my mouth and
mother, can no one hear my screams? as they took a shovel to the earth and struck a piece of my heart instead and
mother, why can’t you hear me?
there was only dark and cold and lonely and nothing, nothing, nothing as i passed some precipice and fell away to shatter and still they shoveled that black dirt into my mouth-
mother, why won’t you help me? 
i am...

i'd say it is fate, the powerful plug of inevitability, that brought us here, but you know i don't believe in destiny. and maybe we belong to different worlds, revolving spheres whose orbits scarcely overlap, continually spinning out of reach, touching only to scoff at the other. but.

there's never a single version of you that exists in a particular moment in my mind-- you are a pile of translucent images stacked on top of each other, merging to to...

    Shadows taste like rust, rough and grating down the throat. Their aftertaste is bittersweet, honeyed and stinging. A bit like whiskey, actually, Sal always thought. Maybe that's why he took to the alcohol, because it reminded him of darkness when there was none available. But here in Deglendark, shadows and demons seemed abundant. Darknesses of all kinds roamed the forest, and the caves, and the cobbled streets of Smiffiton. 

    But not for long, Sal thought, smiling as he strode through...

They buried their hearts in the backyard this summer
They buried their love underneath the cold earth
They buried the hope that they could be together 
They buried their feelings hoping to forget

I remember they whispered their songs in the hallways
I remember the held each others tiny hands
I remember they thought they’d be together forever
I remember the feelings they tried to forget

There isn’t anymore laying against the lockers and watching
There isn’t anymore singing that...

joy without sorrow is like brushing your teeth without the paste.

well, spam isn't fun and tastes bad in food form, so thanks for not saying that.

truth can go screw itself! I'm trying to enjoy this sandwich, after all.

what if we're all just one big onion.

marshmallows are like the Cadeucus Clay of reality. fluffy and makes you feel warm inside.

hey, all elves are appreciated here.

frog hands aren't very fun to swallow.

wait. are we all...

To my late cousin, Fiona. I miss you, angel.

In the silence, I can hear you. 
Darkness comes and you are there,
Your voice calls out to me.
But you left Earth eight months ago.

In the darkness, I can see you. 
I close my eyes and your eyes are there,
Searching mine for reassurance. 
But the bus crashed eight months ago. 

In the night's still calm, you are restless. 
I try to sleep but to no avail, 
You make...

Tempest tides, how high you soar! 
You break the silence; I can’t ignore!
You tumultuous tides grasp the land!
You break the beach with your hand. 
Before my eyes, you slash the sand. 
Your rage echos across the land. 
You block the sun, you dastardly knave! 
I stand here; watching, you cave.

In the City of Revolution,
You knew all of their names
They'd felt the sweat and blood
That went into 
This city.

In the City of the Union,
You never forgot how much it meant
To be as one
It was their words and deeds
That went into
This city.

In the City of Preparedness,
You learned to be ready
The worst was coming
It would be faced with pride
The same bravery
That went into
This city.

In the...

Co-op funny quotes

Eli (to Dave): Your jacket is ugly
Dave: Your face is ugly.

(Getting ready for a Rumplestiltskin play)
Emmy: (to Marie, whose parents own a farm) Hey, you should get some straw to spin into gold.
Marie: Why would I want to waste a bunch of plastic straws just for a play?
Emmy: No, I mean STRAW.
Marie: Ooooh! Sure I can get some hay bales or something...uh, I get hay fever.

(When Dave stops...

Music. Vibrations of air that we can hear. I absolutely adore music in its many forms, whether I am listening to Spotify or playing my guitar. From a very young age, I have been an avid lover of music, singing along to the radio when I was barely a year old, putting on little concerts for my family, picking up a tin whistle and playing a tune. It is not only my hobby  or potential career, it is an escape....

A trillion trees are completely silent.

There's sunlight
leaves
and silence.

A trillion trees are breathing,
softly breathing,
silently saving the world.

Hey fellow poetry people! I am hosting a competition, as you already know by the title. So let's get right into it!

So you called my name?
The hairs on my neck stood on end
I panicked for a moment
And I looked around a little frantically
 
So you tried to reach?
And still I missed the message
I didn’t think it was you calling
So I dismissed it and carried on

So you called me friend?
And my heart skipped a beat
I felt so warm and happy
So familiar and yet still too far off to see

So I...

It is important to live a healthy lifestyle because it can help you lose weight. Being healthy can give you some brainpower when you take a test. Eating healthy foods can help you physically, like when you eat carrots they help your eyesight. Fruits and vegetables have a big impact on your healthy lifestyle. For example, bananas help repair dry skin.  Skin is apart of a healthy lifestyle.

A healthy lifestyle is the best thing a kid needs. Being healthy...

#3 - A Sketch Is A Step Deeper Into My Unconcious Thought

- Sketching On My Math Homework -

I thought of you
As I scribbled a face and horns
On today's confusing math warmup 

And I paused for a little
Staring deep into the penicled in eyes
And remembered what I felt when you drew for me
