I know this is looonnggg overdue as many entries I have planned but haven't gotten to writing them. But shush.

So before I even uploaded anything on Wattpad I joined simply to read...it's weird how I don't have enough time to read on here anymore. But I assure you I still read outside of Wattpad. It's just much easier to grab a book and read than depend on my phone/kindle/laptop to read online. I like technology but I hate how much I use it. Anyways I'm getting off tangent.

So here's a few pieces of writing I've come aross that I have more than enjoyed. 

First one I'll start with by saying it's actually a piece of writing my one of my real, actual friends. I was the one that showed her this site and she's an amazing writer and is actually going to school to be a writer. She's written a book before and is in the process of editing it to resubmit it to be published. So when she first came on this site she posted two stories and I doubt she's been on since then. If you go look at the people I follow she should be the first one (or last one I guess). 

Out of her two stories I'm choosing her story Smother by KarleyPardue. I chose it because of the two this is the more heartbreaking of them. It's super short but so full of amazing imagery and raw emotion. A young girl sits on a park waiting for her date to come. That's what the whole story is about. I told you it's super short. You get a wonderful image of this girl who can be naive and hopeful. She can't wait to meet her date and go out with him and fall madly in love. But life never really is a fairy tale is it? But throughout the story that park and the park bench come alive and the people walking through come in and out of her life and yours and by the end you get the answer of what kind of person her date is. Read it, fall for innocence and then have your heart crushed.

The next one I want to talk about is a story I honestly wish I remembered how I came across it. But I honestly don't. It's a chick lit. But she did such a good job at writing it that it proves even guys can like chick lits.

The Kiss List by JS Abilene. She recently took out the full version of it but it was free for a few days for the kindle! But congrats on her making it an ebook!  So the story is definitely set in high school and it starts off with the action of a soccer game. I'm incredibly uncoordinated and I suck at sports but just reading about the passion the main character has for playing a sport made me want to get up and do something with my life haha. A group of girls make a kiss list and make one of them (the main character) their little experiment and she goes out with a mission. To kiss every guy on the list. The problem is that kisses lead to more and more can lead to mixed emotions and when you mix in some crazy high school mean girls, the right guy(s), heart pumping soccer matches and a conclusion that leaves you either reassuring you that high school will get better or remembering and cherishing those moments you had that seemed so small and simple. I love it and recommend anyone to go out and read it. Check out the sample she still has on here.

There's someone on here who doesn't want to upload stories on here but she has three poems. And when you read them you know that she beyond her years when it comes to wisdom. I can't wait for the day when she finds a muse and writes a story and uploads it on here.

Teenager Runaways by xxSilverWordsxx. It was apparently her first poem she posted on this website and hands down one of my favorite poems. She is young and she knows how to perfectly capture those oh so complicated teenage feelings. Who hasn't ever felt like running away from everything surrounding us. It's not even just a teenage feeling. I think it's a universal emotion and she captures the essence of that. The poem itself reads like a song and I'd buy this song on iTunes if I could. And I'd have it on replay all day, every day.

There's going to be a second entry to this where I discuss more writing that I love on here. But I'll just be ending with this special one.

Searching for Souls by smidorii. This is the first piece of writing I read by her. So while Cold Waters is her most popular one (aside from her rant books), I've decided to talk about this one first. It's a vampire story. But she puts a twist on an old idea and isn't that really all we ask out of clichés? After the Twilight craze I took a looonnng break on any kind of vampire stories. Especially if any romance is involved. And while where she stopped (as it's on hiatus at the moment) there were starting to be hints and traces of some romance building I didn't mind it at all. She created a wonderful sister relationship between the two main characters, Ash and Val. They're both two completely different people, I say people and not characters because although she doesn't have a lot written for this story to me they are already alive patiently waiting to have their story told. She made them very real and she took the time to create a world that is still our world mixed with this whole new mythology. Again we were just starting to dig into this new world where she stopped but I have no doubt if/when she goes back to it it'll be splendid. If there's ever a vampire story you want to read on here,  Searching for Souls is the story you've been searching for. Heehee I made a punny.

K, bye now.
