Sometimes I draw things. I did this drawing the other day for someone’s birthday. We are all ready for Spring!

Throw Back Thursday (4)

Haily Carter lie on her bed exhausted for no reason at all. The summer was almost over, and she didn’t have much to show for it. She barley hung out with her friends because she was always tired, which she couldn’t explain because she got plenty of sleep. Haily looked at herself in the mirror disgusted. She didn’t even like to wear shorts or tank tops anymore because she has so many bruises. She looked at them puzzled and traced them with her fingertips. Where did these all come from? She questioned to herself. It seemed like every day she had a new bruise that just seemed to appear.
Throw Back Thursday!
This is the opening paragraph to the first story that I began writing. I believe I started it somewhere between seventh and eighth grade.

Rain by Christie Cote
Expected Release Date: May 6, 2014
Taylor Sullivan took her life for granted until she received news that would change her life forever. In a state of denial she met Kyle, who didn’t end up being what she expected. She wasn’t able to escape her new reality, but with his friendship, just maybe she could survive it.
“Uh, got into a fight with the kitchen or something?” he asked, smirking.
I ran my hands through my hair and felt remains of the fruit as I did and cringed. Well, this must be attractive. I motioned for him to come into the living room and shut the door behind him.
“Something like that,” I replied coolly.
He walked past me and went to the kitchen, probably to get a better look. “Well, I see you won. The fruit won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe the apples. Those look like they need some more killing.”

Avery stuck to the shadows as she tiptoed toward the cages, careful not to make any noise. If she was discovered, she might end up in one of those very cages. She shuddered at the idea, but kept moving. Her eyes scanning the area vigorously for anyone that could spot her. Her ears were on high alert, listening for any sounds that signaled people. If she were in her other form, her ears would be perked straight up.
Throw Back Thursday!
This is the opening paragraph to a story I started in my Fiction Writing class last year. It is titled The Cage because the assignment required something about a cage in the story. Naturally I thought about werewolves being trapped in cages. My rebellious nature might have had something to do with it also, since my teacher preferred realistic fiction, not fantasy.

“There is a flaw to your plan.” A sly grin crept onto his face once again.
My eyebrow arched at him questioningly.
“I live across the street,” he told me; and, without another word, he turned around toward his house. Then I realized what he’d meant. I’d told my problems to a stranger I would probably see again.

I was about to sit down when Kyle’s hand wrapped around my left wrist lightly and pulled up my arm. The suddenness of his touch was startling. I looked at him, confused, and saw fire in his eyes—raw anger I didn’t understand. His eyes looked up at me and penetrated mine.
