Here you can find the statuses of my WIPs and my completed works. A short synopsis, a one-sentence hook, and/or first line will be included. If you can critique or comment on the synopsis, hook, etc., please do so. I appreciate any feedback. =) I would be glad to do the same.
Prose
Country Home / Island (tentative title)
The Suitor
In a fantastic, foreign world where no kings rule but princesses live to be used and suitors, born to kill, Constantina must travel across lands and seas to re-discover, amidst deception, superpowers, and gun residue, her identity and learn why the self-proclaimed Queen would kill her because of it. (Does this “hook” you?)
Type: Novel
Genre: YA Science Fantasy
Status: WIP–2nd revision.
Comments: It’s very different from the original product: the world makes more sense, characters underwent minor and major changes, and even the POV has been changed to 3rd person limited to 1st person. Though I’m loving this world and the characters, I’m having a difficult time fleshing out certain things. I lost brain cells because of this work, haha.
Will (tentative title)
When they came to take his mother away, he was already out of the room. (1st sentence)
Type: Short Story (original) Novelette (latest)
Genre: Science-Fiction
Status: WIP–4th or 5th revision. Looking for artist to collaborate with.
Comments: This is the short story that won’t go away! After two years, a workshop, beta-readers, and a lost contest, the main character William won’t let go of me. It has gone through many revisions, and, after a failed attempt at escaping it, it’s back for another one. But I think I know what it needs–a whole new format. Although I am re-writing the short story, it’s more for the sake of letting it breathe. I’m cutting out and adding things, tightening certain aspects, and refining the world. Gosh.
Plays
Hear the Children Cry
Type: One-Act Play
Genre: Drama
Status: Completed
Comments: Inspired by a presentation of the Invisible Children movement, this play uses information taken from news articles, interview transcripts found online, and the Invisible Children: Rought Cut documentary and depicts the struggles and events child soldiers could go through. It’s been performed three times since its conception in 2007: twice in a local high school and as a contestant in the North Carolina Theatre Conference.
…keep it up!!!
