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.

Father of Monsters
Earth and all of humanity is gone. like completely and utterly blown to cosmic space dust gone. Only one human managed to survive by pure luck of the draw. Leon Castro was pretty much your average joe. White guy, 5’11, brown eyes, dirty blond hair, and weighing in at around 160lbs. He was a guy with dreams of making it big someday in the future but having no real plan as to how he was going to achieve it. But Leon did have one thing going for him. He’d found a niche on the internet making videos that had gotten him quite a big following in the past year or so. Enough so that he could use the ad revenue to continue making those videos and not have to work another job to keep his tiny little apartment in Norfolk Virginia. The content of his videos was quite easily summed up in just a few words… Theoretical Monster Biology.This was the guy who survived. Transported to another world, where magic, a vaguely game like System, and Dungeons are a thing. (Warning) This is a first draft that has not been edited in any way. Directly from brain to word document. there is very little gore or sexual content early on but there will be. hence the tags. Cover Art was done by GGmadude over on the Discord.

Author's Rant
Just a disclaimer, this is not and never will be a story. I just, noticed I have a bad habit of wanting to rant in my author's notes, and have decided that, instead of accidentally doubling the length of each chapter with the author's note alone, I will shove those long-ass rants here. It might contain spoilers for my stories, as I usually wind up ranting about different parts I'm writing. So, if you actually enjoy my rants...well, firstly, what is wrong with you? Secondly, welcome! Time to figure out what tags to stick on this. Also, as of the second chapter, I have decided to shove some of my story ideas here. So if you enjoy half-baked, unfinished stories, then I got those too. I think that adds that short story tag?
