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

"East to Eden pt. two: EDEN" A short story by Katlynn Chrans

East to Eden pt. two: EDEN ; By Katlynn Chrans Seven Years on Eden “Ara, come here right now I need to finish braiding your hair” the kind-hearted woman yelled after me. I smiled and darted behind the large berry bush, twigs and leaves finding their way into my semi-braided hair.    My breath left my lips heavily, the slight chill creating a chapped cover. I peered through the gaps as the plump woman bounded out of the cabin, hawking around the camp for me. I created an ‘O’ shaped with my lips and chirped, hoping she would play the game, giving her a small indication of my hiding spot.    “Ara I am serious, you know today is a big day, and Uyre will not be pleased by your behaviour young lady” she called in my direction.    Rolling my eyes I slowly made my way out from behind the bush, pulling the soft red berry off its stem and plopping it in between my teeth.    “Roslix, I was only getting some breakfast, isn’t that the most...

"Regrets and Not Regrets" A short story by Katlynn Chrans // trigger warning

Regrets and Not Regrets; By Katlynn Chrans The millisecond it took for my foot to leave the platform of the bridge was the millisecond I realized I didn’t want to fall. August   2017 I woke up to the sun shining through my closed eyes, birds chirping outside the thin glass window that bordered the willow tree on the back of our small house. Today was the day, I was finally a senior, and I would finally be treated like a mature young adult. “Olivia, sweetheart, are you awake?” my moms melodic voice carrying down the hallway called to me, “Yes” I called back, opening my eyes I swung my legs onto the floor, my feet shocked by the cold wood. I opened my side table drawer and grabbed a pair of new socks, to celebrate the occasion, slipping them on I rose from my bed. As I stood in front of my mirror I quickly tied my hair into a bun and wiped the sleep from my eyes. “Honey I have your breakfast, it’s your favourite” she calls from the kitchen. Bounding down t...

"The Dark Days and The Bright Nights: Part Zero" A short story by Katlynn Chrans

Part Zero; By Katlynn Chrans “The results came from the lab yesterday” the doctor said grimacing at the few sheets of paper that will define the entirety of my future.    “And?” I asked nervously clenching my fingers together, I looked everywhere but the sorrow drowned eyes of the man in front of me.    “Hazel, you have a grade five Glioblastoma tumour located on your brain stem.” He said slowly, pity dripping after every word.             I watched a robin land on the edge of a tree branch, putting her faith in herself that it won’t simply break. The words Dr. Jones said barely audible over the buzzing of my thoughts.    “The location, and the type will make it very difficult to remove by surgery, however we can start you on radiation therapy very so-“    “No, I don’t want therapy, but thank you” I interrupted slipping my coat over my shoulders I hop off the examination table...
