A-Shadow-Rose

Alright, so, let's get the bad and the ugly out of the way first. My twitch channel... I've practically given up on it. I enjoyed what I did... but it wasn't gainful in a way that could sustain myself for long periods of time. I would love to get back to it someday soon but... I would much rather do it casually or just not at all. Secondly, I've come to realize that I've lost my reason for living. That's been a long time ago, honestly, but it has never felt more apparent than now. So, switching gears for a moment, time for a meaningful development on the good news side of things. I have found love once again. She's incredible... She's everyt

Remember back in June when I asked you all, what's your favourite way to start a story? Whether you do or don't, a healthy 32% of you answered that you love jumping into the action head on! 26% of you said that you prefer to describe the surroundings first... a gentler approach. The rest answered 'Dialogue' or 'Other'. We all know that opening the first chapter, hell, starting the first line can be tricky. I'm not just referring to the beginning of a story either. Opening any line, paragraph or chapter within a story can be difficult. So, I've compiled a list of helpful links gathered from the interwebs and beyond! Check them out :nod: ht

I need to get something off of my chest... again. Warning, it's going to ramble on.. as per always. Alright, so, have you ever sat and stared at a clock? To see the second hand tick away your precious life? It brings into perspective how inconsequential we are as people. That no matter what anyone says, does, or tries to change... the world will move forward. It's not a pessimistic view... it's just a realistic one. People will live, will die, and some will change the world in major ways... yet it will always move onto the next chapter. I met someone who made me question a lot of things and who made me feel alive for the first time in years

I had only been here for 6 months, since January 27, when I saw that my sister had an account here, and I wanted to join the fun. My journey 1. My first deviation was the day after I created the account, haha. January 28 I actually wrote this way before I had a dA account, and it is so cringe worthy now. :ashamed: But I'm soooooo thankful to tempest-wolf08 (https://www.deviantart.com/tempest-wolf08) for the first comment she gave, it gave me a huge boost of confidence. :heart: ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.
