My Writings

Here is a selection of stuff I have written. It includes stories, poems, and many other types of writing.

Stories

My very favorite things to write are--you guessed it--fictitious stories. Here are some of the stories that I have written over the past several years.

Short Stories

Regression - age 14

This was written for my writing class. Assigned to "write a story about improvement to humans", I wrote about a girl with CF undergoing gene therapy...

To Live in Dreams - age 14

For This is My Place - age 14

Living in the Shadows - age 15

These two are short-story retellings of Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Rapunzel, respectively. They all take the viewpoint of a secondary character in each story and show how her life was affected by the fairy tale.

The Storyteller - age 15

Novels

Eleanor: A Retelling of the story Cinderella – age 11

This is pretty self-explanitory. This story was a gift for the Greenwood girls before they moved.

The Princess in the Tower – age 8

The Princess in the Tower II – age 12

These two are original 'novels' I wrote for my friend Meagan, starring two of my inhaled medicines as the villains.

A Prisoner of Evil - age 13

This is my first real, full-length novel. Ringing in at 203 pages, it is my greatest pride. It's a rewrite of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" - with a few changes! My dad bound this book for me for my birthday.

Poetry

My second favorite thing to write is poetry, although I normally wait for the inspiration--as that always turns out the best poems! Here are some that I have written.

Before Age Fourteen

Autumn's Brilliance

As I sit here, Coughing and Crying

The Song of the Pioneer

In Mother's Arms

The Dance

Dusk

At or After Age Fourteen
