Hey everyone, I wanted to start by apologizing, I know I was supposed to get a Halloween themed story up during October. Truthfully, I did start one, but I ended up completely hating the idea and scrapped it, maybe I will revise it and go back to it in the future, but for now please don’t expect it.
Next, I want to say sorry for the lack of content on the blog, if I am being completely honest and raw here, I have been in a bit of a slump, I have ideas, but I just cannot bring myself to write them, I feel like nothing is going to be good enough. I read so many beautiful things, words that flow through me like air and I don’t know if I will ever be able to write like that, to compare to the great works of literature. I know I am always my own worst critic, but I feel like I need to take a step back and deal with my personal problems, to heal myself and not have so many priorities on my plate.
For those of my readers who don’t know, I have moved and am finding it extremely difficult to make new friends, which I thought I would be okay with, but I have since realized it has affected me in a way I didn’t expect. I feel alone constantly. But I am finally with my family again and I hope to quickly get back to my old self, or a new self, a new me with a river of inspiration…maybe.
I feel I need to address ‘the book’ I keep talking about, tying in with what I mentioned before, I have absolutely no confidence in writing something that would be publicly published, I need to learn proper technique and the craft of writing. I was hoping to continue working on it in January time, but I am not sure. I feel I need to take some Creative Writing classes or something like that. However, I do promise that I will come back to it, I will not give up on the characters and the world I have created in my head, they will just take some more time to form that’s all.
As I work through this bump in my life, I still feel I need a creative outlet to express anything and everything, how would you feel about me maybe writing more personal posts like these? Once I begin to post stories again, I can mingle these in as well? Just a thought I had, tell me what you think…
Lastly, tomorrow, Thursday November 29th, 2018 marks the one-year anniversary of this blog, when I took the leap to follow my love for writing, when I published ‘The Dark Days and The Bright Nights’, which happens to be one of my favourite stories I have written. I did plan to upload a story idea I have been coming back to for a few weeks, but as I said before, I need to take some time, to try and regain my confidence in my words.
I am not sure when I will return to posting my stories, but I do hope it is soon.
Again, I am sorry.
Wallflower Kate

"Your Misery, Then Mine" A short story by Katlynn Chrans // trigger warning

Your Misery, Then Mine; By Katlynn Chrans             I am going to tell you the story of a boy. I am also going to tell you a story of why we shouldn’t judge people when we don’t know their circumstances. Please listen from a place in your heart. As the anniversary of my uncle’s death closes near I have decided to come back to the topic of suicide, however, this time I will be writing from the outside. I have seen a post about the story of a boy who runs home from the bus every day, it is only short, but very beautiful and sad. So..I have decided to elaborate, give the boy a name, and a story. I have no clue if it was a fictional or true post, but the message is still received. I hope you enjoy.             We sat, impatient and desperately trying to hold our laughter back, as the bus slowed to a stop he sprang from the edge of his seat, just like he always did. O...

for one second; a mess of thoughts by k.c

For one second I want to revel in what it is to be a teenager. I don’t want to fight for women’s rights, or for the planet, or hear about the countless young people dying in school. I don’t want to seek gratification from people I don’t care about online. I want to make mistakes and be dumb, and not have to fight for things that are so so much bigger than me. I want to forget about how scary the world is and live in my own happy place, where I am not self-conscious, where I don’t analyse every inch of my pictures and myself. A place where I can be happy and be who I am, not burdened by the weight of things I cannot change. For one second I want to live in the now, not think about my future or what the next year will bring. I want to run around every night living in the moment and having fun. I don’t want to worry about people saying this or that. I want to be effortlessly young. I want to write and not fear what others will see in my messy compiled sentences. I want to love who I l...

"A Revolution" A short story by Katlynn Chrans

A Revolution; By Katlynn Chrans    “So how’re you finding freshman year” I smiled at my younger brother as he devoured the eggs mom had made us for breakfast. I watched his lips turn up at the corner, the satisfaction clear on his face.    “It’s great!” he enthusiastically replied, grinning from ear to ear again. “I love that I get to pick my classes, do stuff that I love, not stuff I have to do ya know?” he added.    I smiled back while I stood and ruffled his hair. I set my plate in the sink, my mom rushing over to clean it.    “I’ve got that sweetie, you two get going. Claire good luck with your SAT prep test after school, you’ll do great okay” she beamed.    I hugged her tightly; her hand ran softly up and down my back. Her dark auburn hair smelt faintly of roses and honey.    “I love you so so much Claire, I am so proud of you” she whispered to me giving me a tighter squeeze.    I gave her one ...
