Writing Wednesday | Writing Prompt "Candy Hearts"

Since Valentine's Day was yesterday, I decided to post this piece in honor of it. The writing might seem a little rushed, so I apologize for that. Without further ado, I present to you "Candy Hearts"!


Sophia gave a mental groan when she walked into school and saw all the red heart decorations in the halls. Today was Valentine's Day and she was not so happy about it. She could already hear several couples saying sweet nothings to each other and practically see them kissing like there's no tomorrow. She walked to her locker where her best friend, Amy, was waiting.
"Morning, Sophia!" Amy exclaimed, enthusiastically.
Sophia gave her a glare and opened her locker. Amy giggled at her best friend's expression. She knew how much Sophia hated Valentine's Day ever since her ex-boyfriend broke up with her on the same day almost three years ago. For Sophia, this day always brought back such painful memories. She took out some books, put them in her bag, and shut her locker. She started walking towards homeroom, Amy keeping pace with her.
"I know how much you hate this day, but please try to cheer up a little? Anything can happen today," Amy said.
"I'll try ," Sophia said, gloomily.
When they got into homeroom, they were surprised to see valentines on their desks. They looked at one another as the sat down. Amy squealed when she realized that hers was from her boyfriend. Sophia looked at hers warily and picked up the card. Next to the card was a bag of candy hearts. She read the card as she opened the bag.
Sophia, I know that you might not like today but at least give us a chance. I really like you and I hope you like me. Love Justin.

Sophia blushed a little at the words of the note and reached into the bag of candy hearts. The one she grabbed said,"Be Mine". She looked at it happily. Maybe things would change for her on today of all days.

Writing Wednesday | Writing Propmt "Winter Solstice"

Happy New Year everyone! I am so sorry for not posting in such along time, but I promise you that I will be posting regularly from now on (baring that life doesn't get in the way too much). Today, I thought it would be best to do something a little different. I love writing prompts because you can always do something different with them all the time. This one is actually one of my favorite prompts because it is whimsical and I could expand it into a novel if I wanted. Without further ado, here is what I think of when I think of Winter Solstice. Emmaline sat on a snow covered log, watching the Winter Fey danced round and round the bonfire. Evana, the queen of Winter, sat on her icy throne next to Emmaline's log while talking to Lord Draven about some political things that made absolutely no sense to Emmaline. For as long as she could remember, Emmaline has always been kept near Evana no matter where in the ice palace.  The others called her "Evana's Little Pet."

Writing Wednesday | "Rolling Hills and Mighty Mountains"

This is something I wrote for a contest of some type for figment.com. I just love this one a lot because it's based off a vacation I took years ago. Hope you all enjoy! It started out as any vacation would. A long car drive down the highway watching other cars zoom by and making shapes out of the clouds. Sometimes I would sleep, but other times I would imagine being anywhere else than in the car. Grandpa would look at me in the rear view mirror from time to time as he drove, but I paid no special attention to his glances. Why should I? I didn't want to be stuck in the car as we headed to see some relatives I had never met in West Virginia. I was bored. There was nothing to do but stare out the window and even that got boring after a while. "What are you thinking about, Nicole?" Mom asked from behind me. I turned around in my seat to look at Mom. She was reading another Jane Austen novel while my sister was leaning against her shoulder, asleep. How my mo

Blog Update

Hello fellow readers! I'm sorry if I haven't been posting as often, but I felt like I needed to get away from the blog for a while. I'm writing this to let you know that I will not be posting for about a week or two. I'm doing this to customize the look of the blog. I feel like the look of it is too boring or not functional to what I want it to be. I'm not abandoning this blog, I'm just fixing it up. See you soon. Happy reading!
