So, uh...guess who's on Wattpad? I hope you guessed me because I now realize that I could be asking that question about...literally anyone else. Because there are definitely a TON of people on Wattpad. Anyway, yeah! I'm on Wattpad! I was trying to post my creative pieces (specifically my nonfiction ones) to Medium, but I …
So this was a story that I submitted a WHILE ago to an LGBTQIA+ anthology, and it ended up being rejected. I was a little sad, especially since I put my heart and soul in it, but I know that the publishing world can be very picky, so I didn't take it too personally. I …
So this piece that I put up on Medium today is only slightly spooky. Just a bit. Not like, overwhelmingly so.
