about me

I am a constellation in the lovely night sky.

...Okay, that was a lie.
I am an aspiring human author (aren't we all) with a questionable sense of humor and an irreplacable love of everything fantastical. Feel free to message me if you want me to read your stuff or just want to chat; I'm always looking for something new to read.

(Also, my grammar is pretty damn near impeccable. Just sayin'.)

I love constructive criticism and any and all reviews. Please be honest-- I am on this site to improve! Review my work, and I will return the favor as quickly as I can. Let's work together to take over the world-- er, grow as writers. Cough.


["Taking Eden:" This is a NaNoWriMo novel, which means I wrote the entire 54000 words during November 2009. After I finished, I initally put it aside because I thought it wasn't "me" in the way that my 2008 NaNo was. But I've realized that it's because I've matured. : ) I am totally falling in love with this project and I hope that you will too. Status: updated Thursdays.]

Poem

Most people's scars are pale pink or brown-- Darling's are gold.

What really cuts us is never a knife or a piece of glass. What really leaves scars-- well, that's you and me. The words we treasure, and the words we abandon, the people we mean to hold close who end up so far away, this precious and small planet, all gleam with scars.

God are we beautiful.

Taking Eden

by orion

Book: , Science Fiction/Fantasy, Adventure, Romance

A story about the dark corners of Paradise and the bright spots in Hell.
About gods. Ghosts. Statues. And a City.

This City's godly beauty gives people remarkable powers-- when it doesn't drive them mad. Emily is one of those blessed by the City, given such a deep internal compass that she can never get lost. Police Chief Michael Salmon, on the other hand, is one of the cursed few whose sense of direction is at the mercy of the City's every whim.

Michael needs a living map. Emily needs to escape her mother, because to her mother she is nothing more than a doll and Emily is too real and too alive to play pretty porcelain for long.

Emily-the-doll is going to get up and walk-- and maybe more. Emily-the-doll just might unearth the City's secret, that dark answer it's hiding to "Why does it hurt to be ordinary?" and "Where is the Army of East?" To "What happened three years ago?" and "Why is Chief Michael permanently lost?"

She might learn the answer--- but will she survive?

This is the bit before I pay fifty cents to go crazy.

The human mind is ill-equipped to handle God, isn't it?
