Hi, everyone! Welcome to my first blog post! A very big thank you to my good friend Victoria for helping me get this up and running. For those of you that are already familiar with my work, thank you so much for your continued support. I hope you enjoyed Winged, my first installment of the Aetharian Narratives and I am so glad you're interested in more of my writing. There is another post just above this one on my blog page; I will primarily be using this blog to post short stories. I'm always looking for a creative outlet, so I'm very excited about being able to share my work with you on a bit more of a regular basis.
A little background on "Grin and Bear It"
I wrote this short story a very long time ago. It was the last piece I wrote for my creative writing class in college. I, unfortunately, don't remember what spurred me to write it. There were no guidelines I had to follow; complete free-write, so I honestly think I just sat at my computer, let my fingers move, and this is what came out of it! I couldn't find a digital copy of the story because that would have just been TOO easy. I had to pull out the copies that were critiqued by my classmates and retyped the whole thing. As you can imagine, I tweaked it a bit from comments written on the copies and just to conform a bit better to my writing style today. I hope you take the time to read it and I certainly hope you enjoy it!
