Welcome to the Library!

Among my varied interests is writing. I've been writing in one way or another since I was in high school. I've only been published in a couple college publications. I write mainly for my own pleasure, but I've been sharing some of these stories over at MyOtaku. I'm starting from the beginning here just because I can. Bwahahaha!!!!!!

Changes ahead?

After who knows how long* since I posted something here, I may be getting something going again on this! I've been really pretty wasted in the creativity department the past year (or two), so nothing has been done on this. I actually dragged out the flash drive that has all of what is complete and have started to go through it. I need to sit down and have a good long talk with myself about working on writing, art, and foreign languages. Yes, that last one was plural!

So... wish me luck, everyone! Maybe something 'new' will be posted here in the not too distant future. Hopefully even by the end of the year.

*not quite 15 months! *gasp*

Chapter 1: Samantha's Dream, Samantha's Destiny and Tokyo Interlude

Esther stood in the doorway of her granddaughter’s room. “You had the dream again, didn’t you? Samantha?” The girl was just visible in the light of the lamp Esther was carrying. Samantha was sitting up in bed and staring at the ligh...
