Hey everybody! To my new supporters, hello! Thank you so much, I am so excited to share my work with you!
I know I'm late posting this week--I aim for Saturday--but I ran out of time this weekend while traveling. I'll be posting tonight though and I thank you for your patience!
Supernatural School has a publishing date! July Fifth! I'll be making a bigger post about that as the month comes to a close :)
This is a youtube video of me reading the story below. It's a little rough sinc...

Hey all! I got so wrapped up in this book yesterday that I forgot to preview the first chapter! It's lengthened a little and (mostly) edited! I tried to ease the exposition (original here: http://caffeinewitchcraft.tumblr.com/post/152395000799/writing-prompt-s-you-have-been-accepted-into-a ) and I hope I was successful! Next chapter coming up by ...

Funnily enough, this story spawned from a tumblr game where you combined the place you last went (gym), your birthstone (garnet) and the weather (rain). I ended up with this lovely little world where Light and Dark magic are all on the same level and Neutral isn't necessarily better either.

Garnet is a running stone. Feet pounding on wet concrete, laces tied too tightly, soles worn down to slic...

Thank you all so much for deciding to support me! I appreciate it a lot as it means I can dedicate more and more time to writing and making more content :)
These next couple months are going to be super busy as I work to meet my deadlines for this site and personal projects! I have plans to release a book at the end of this month, working title School for the Supernatural. It's a story about a girl, told in second person, who is a Reaper, one of Death's agents. She's been ...

If she’d seen the teeth first, this might have been a different story. Aiga knows enough to be afraid of curving, sharp, glistening teeth, but it’s the gentleness of the hand curled around the bindweed blossom that catches her eye.
She knows enough to be afraid of claws too, but she’ll tell herself it was too dark to see them until the day she dies.
“My professor says it’s a weed,” she says to the creature standing in the flower bed. There’s eggshells under her feet and her...

Oh gosh, this is one of my prompt fills that I'll be posting on Tumblr sometime this weekend! This is in my superhero verse (and if you'd like a breakdown of that, please let me know!) and made me super sad, haha.
Here's the prompt from gingerly-writing.tumblr.com :
“You could save the world.”
“I could,” said the villain, “if I wanted to.” Behind them. the city burned.
“But you won’t.” The hero’s voice was hoarse...

Laurel grows up talking to the sidewalk. It tells her where her brother is hiding during hide and seek and it whispers about the bad men who come to take her little brother away. Mom doesn’t believe her when she says she knows where they took Glen. Mom looks at her like she’s a monster, tells her to stop playing make believe, and cracks a hand across her face on national TV.
The city surges when Laurel’s cheek stays flushed with heat for hours after the blow. It whi...

This week's short story will be split into two, one today, one tomorrow night! I just haven't had time to edit both parts and I wanted to get this out (a little late) on time! This is a really fun style for me and I love the challenge of world building in a story that's en media res (kind of). The next part should be up in 24 hours, thanks so much for your patience!

The plaster cracks under his fist, spider webs rolling up the wall to the ceiling. The entire structure is liable to come down like this, under his aggression, on top of her fear, but it hasn’t so far.
A lot of things haven’t happened so far.
“You said you’d wait,” he says. His clothes cling to his skin under the bulletproof vest, defining the sharp cut of muscle and the soft curve of bandages. He’s injured underneath, probably nursing more than a few fract...

So this next story takes place in my superhero universe! For those who don't follow me on tumblr, it's a universe with superheroes with recurring, evolving, and random characters from all walks of life. The main constant is that one of them is always a hero or a villain and the main Hero nexus is known as the League and is located in New York.
Roxy Geyer is not the hero or the villain in the story. That title belongs to her boyfriend, Aaron aka supervillain lackey Goliath.
I act...

Hey all! Hoping to get this next short story on here by tonight or tomorrow morning! In the meantime, here's a short warm up I did this morning. I was looking to practice a little introspection and some sentence structure variation. I think I ended up just creating a new plot line...which is honestly how most of my warm ups go.

“I think I prefer the old movies,” Stella’s bodyguard tells her on his second day. His obsidian horns catch the dying light of the sun on the way back from school. “You know. Humans and demons at war. In conflict. And then, of course, the romance, it’s all for the romance—"
“You were just hired to protect me,” she says. He doesn’t see the way her nails are cutting into her palms, the way she’s forcing her breath and heart to remain even, the way her...

Mama’s Bones
The day Mama decides to make Myrtie, the man comes to the door. Honor answers the call of the bell more out of habit than conscious thought, heavy legs dragging her from the closet to the front hall. Mama’s in one of her moods (it’s worse, it’s worse, it’s so much worse) and Honor’s bones ache down to the marrow as a result. She doesn’t smile when she heaves open the heavy oak door.
“We don’t want any,” she tells the man s...

If Anya had known she’d wind up naked in Herbert’s room, she might have reconsidered exactly when she’d programmed the spell to send her.
“Someday you and I are going to have sex,” she told a slack-jawed Herbert, “and this will be hilarious.”
“W-who are you?” Herbert asked. He clutched at the fine linens on his bed, drawing them up to his chest as if he were the one who was in their altogether. “How did you get in here?”
“I’m not the one tryin...
