Prologue. 1 month ago

Heres the prologue to my first fantasy story- Bloodline.

“You can’t keep doing this!” my mother cried. “she’s our daughter, we can’t keep her locked in the house!”
“She’s a freak, a monster! she’s lucky she even has a home!” my father growled.
“Thats our daughter you’re talking about!” she screamed protectivly.
“She’s a werewolf, a monster!”
I cried silently in my room, my dad hated what i was. I had been given this curse by his families blood anyway, although lucky for him it skipped his generation. I was’nt like a storybook werewolf, not human by day werewolf by night. I had to suffer as a werewolf all the time, forced to hide from others.
My dad slowly opened my door and crept in, “Hi moonlight, do you need anything hunni?”
He always acted nice around me, he was afraid of me. But who would’nt be, a black mythical monster with incandescent silver eyes.
“Don’t you dare act nice to me!” I growled “you were just calling me a monster, and now you act nice?” I stood up and approached him.
He fell over, avoiding getting close to me, he could’nt even speak.
“n-now moonlight, hunni, don’t d-do anything you would re-regret!”
I narrowed my eyes into a dark glare, “I would’nt regret it…” I snarled walking towards him threateningly, leaving him squirming on the floor helpless. Then stepped over him, I would’nt prove him right. I am not a monster.
“I’m leaving!” I shouted back to him.
“You can’t!” my mother creid from downstairs.
“Yea” growled my dad, knowing I would’nt hurt him. “because freaks like you end up in circuses or on a lab table because THAT’S where you belong.”
Clenching my fists i went back to my room, tears cascading down my fur. I began packing my bag , my mum begging me to stay the entire time. I only owned a few things so it did’nt take long.
“please, don’t leave.” my mum cried.
“I’m sorry, I have to. I can’t handle this anymore.” I sighed.
My dad then stumbled to my doorway a bottle of beer in his hands, “Don’t forget to take some raw meat.” my dad snickered “Thats what you monsters eat is’nt it?”
I eat what humans eat, and he knew it. Pushing past him I looked into his hatred filled eyes. “I am NOT a monster, YOU are…”
Once I left the house I had to stay in the shadows. My dad was right about one thing, where i’d end up if I was seen. After a few hours walk I finally reached the slums of the city, I wandered around the alleyways looking for a place to sleep.
It took hours before I found a suitable warehouse on the edge of the city, but once I did I huddled in a cold, dusty corner. Awaiting the next night.

Texas Lin wants to go back to bed

The three of clubs appeared again today 2 months ago

on 7 Thunders. Guess it’s just a friendly reminder. :)



every day 3 months ago

You are not a writer unless you write every day. WHY DON’T I WRITE EVERY DAY????



Texas Lin wants to go back to bed

According to 7 Thunders this is my path~ 4 months ago

The Three of Clubs is the card of mental creativity, so much so that it is called the ‘Writer’s Card’. On the other hand, it can be the card of worry and indecision and mental stress. Whenever this card appears in your reading, you will have an opportunity to either get the benefits of heightened creativity of mind, or suffer the liability of more stress and indecision.

Use this influence for writing, either personally or professionally. Express yourself to all you meet and you will reap positive rewards.



So far... 4 months ago

I’ve got two blogs and an internship. Blogs are nice for incentive now and then, but the internship is really why I’m adding a new entry. Okay so far, let’s see how it goes.
Further updates as events warrant.



Untitled 5 months ago

When I was a child I wrote so many things! But when I became older, it just kinda slipped away, which makes me sad, because I remember that when I was a child, writing was the only thing that made me happy.
So I decided to stop thinking about it all the time, and start doing it! I hope it will make me just as happy as it did when I was a little kid…



Untitled 5 months ago

I really want to stop wanting, and start doing. Isn’t that the best advice…....to just keep writing every day.



Untitled 6 months ago

I want to be a children’s book author. I already have written my first book. I just want to keep it up. To use my time for something more creative then just playing games on the computer.



Untitled 6 months ago

It’s just something I’ve always wanted to do, and I write a lot of stuff, I guess I just have to be brave enough to let other people read it!
