Why I Write
When I write, I draw on my experiences as a woman with a painful past, a rapturous wife and mother, a world traveler, and a spiritualist. For me, writing is an art form. Like an artist, the work becomes more than I imagined it would be. When I set out to write a story with a particular idea or character in mind, words I cannot claim as my own flow from a magical and mysterious place through me and onto paper. The work takes on a life of its own; it is living art. The process fascinates me, satiates me, and makes my life more meaningful. Please read my stories!

GPs Up For Grabs! (:D)
There are only five days left before the Final Round of the "Invalid Item closes for judging. For those who aren't familiar, it's a fantastic, uber-challenging, speculative ficition-focused contest that began August 30th. Back then, there were 19 competitors. After three elimination rounds, there are three of us left, vying for first, second, and third places.

The final prompt is super creative. We were giving the link to an off-site blog. Based on the unnamed blogger's posts, we are challenged to build a character and write a story. Genre and word count are up to us. This link takes you to the blog in question:



I'd LOVE to hear feedback on my story. I've read it over so many times during edits that I can no longer determine where problematic sentences lie or whether the voice and pacing are strong. I need your help!

There are over 1600 auto-reward GPs for reviewing this 3292-word story. Plus helpful, quality reviews will be generously awarded additional GPs and review credits. (*WARNING* Dark fiction, Rated 18+ ) Any takers? Great! Here's the story:
