TAKING A LOA
I enjoy writing. There, I said it. This is probably not a shock, but it is nonetheless true. There is something about creating using words that fascinates me. Thus my time here at Protagonize has been a wonderful experience. So many amazing authors! I dragged my Muse here too and relish plotting and writing with him. He's pretty darn awesomesauce.
Most of my writing is urban or dark fantasy or horror. I'm a sucker for good stories about vampires, werewolves and things that go bump in the night! I also dabble in silly stories, folklore/fairy tales, and some more dramatic writing. I try to push myself to try new styles or genres, although it doesn't always work out. Poetry and I are just not that friendly
I like to improve my writing and hope I'll continue to become a better writer. It is a never-ending task, like so much in life. If you have some suggestions or constructive criticism, I am always happy to get feedback so please, I would rather a comment than a rating. Although ratings are nice.

Wasted Sundae
"Meet Red. She used to be a go-getter for the KFC. At least until she was blamed for a rather colossal mistake. Now she is given the unofficial task of breaking the Fuzzy Militia out of jail. Mayhem will ensue. Join us as the Fuzzy Militia stages a jail break and proceeds to wreak major havoc. New Militia recruits will join old favourites and their adventures will change the world - or at least destroy some major structures!"
Conquering Fearmature
"This is the story of the encounter between a Little Red Riding Hood and a Wolf. Beware of who you might meet in the forest, whether you are Little Red Riding Hood or the Wolf. You never know what might happen."
TOP RATED POSTS
Click
"This is a story about nothing, or almost nothing. It is a story about the addiction of browsing the internet, checking email, and all those updates and networks in the hopes that there is something there, something new."
Final Curtain
"The story of an underground movement, fueled by street art and renegade journalism, attempting to expose the dirty secrets of the two most powerful men in the city."
Miles to Gomature
"Xenia Tudor was a sweet young woman who made the mistake of loving her roommate, Marcus. In searching for him after he walks out of her life she discovers just how many of her nightmares are true and becomes one of them herself: a werewolf. Marcus makes some discoveries himself, like that the Fraternity he has worked for hunting monsters might not be as clearly on the side of good as he was led to believe."
Tell Me...
"There are too many things that people say and do not always mean. This is for all the times someone has said it and you know they didn't mean it."
