Going Paperless 14: "Taste of Fame"
Finally a recent piece of writing to share! I've gotten into the swing of a new semester, and I'm going to push myself to write as much as I can! This is "Taste of Fame", a short short story inspired by the short story "Delusions of Stardom" by Anne Frank.
Going Paperless 13: "Back in Business"
Here it is! My mom's favorite play! I've been sick all week, but I couldn't wait any longer, so without further ado... "Back in Business", or as my mom calls it, "The Roasts, Roasts, and Roasts Play"!

Going Paperless 12: "Dead of Night"
After a short break, I'm back with a new play. Well, new to y'all; I wrote it awhile ago. This is "Dead of Night", or what comes of watching viral videos the night before a new play is due. Big thanks to my friends helping out with this one!
Eve as Kevin
Amenda as Connie

Going Paperless 11: "Roll the Tapes"
We're back to short plays this episode with "Roll the Tapes"! Tune in to hear the play that sent me on a Dollar Tree shopping spree for movie theater candy!
Eve as Phil
William as Bowie
Karenna as Ginger
Going Paperless 10: "Nevertheless"
TW: This play contains discussions of rape.
Here it is... my magnum opus. Please enjoy "Nevertheless", a play about seventeenth century artist, Artemisia Gentileschi. This play is a social statement and a history lesson because I love to multitask! I hope you find my girl Arty as wonderful and inspiring as I do.

Going Paperless 8: "All Seven Stars"
Last time I shared the first play I ever wrote; this time I'm sharing the first one-act play I ever wrote! This play is my baby, and I really hope you enjoy it! See if you can spot the space and mythology Easter eggs I threw in while writing. Big thanks to my friends/actors!

Lauren as Scarlet

Going Paperless 7: "Train of Thought"
Let's try something brand new! This is "Train of Thought", the first play I ever wrote! It's not my best work,-- in fact, it was kind of unpleasant to hear read aloud-- but it's an important touchstone for my body of work. Big thanks to my friends, Emily, Victoria, and Tiamber, for reading this play for me!
Victoria as Kit "TruthSeeker1015" Jefferson
Emily as Senator Bentley Shrub

Going Paperless 6: "Z-List"
This is the first scene of what could someday become a longer work entitled "Z-List"! Tune in for a zombie detective story, and please don't ask how I spelled out the dialogue...
Going Paperless 5: "All Eyes"
Going Paperless 4: "Requiem"
"Requiem" is one of a three part series of short stories that take place in my fictional Old West town of Templeton, Texas. Suggested pairing for this piece is part one of the series, "High Noon", which I read in the first episode!
Going Paperless 3: "Railroad to Retirement"
This is a short story I wrote as a high school freshman! Rereading it has reminded me how far I've come as a writer since I produced this one. And yes, the concept for this story did originate as an alternate universe fanfiction of the anime "Attack on Titan"... Enjoy!
Going Paperless 2: "Feet"
Here is a narrative poem I wrote last fall entitled "Feet"! This one was a lot of fun to write and even more fun to read aloud thanks to a bunch of cool consonance and assonance I threw in. Enjoy!
Going Paperless 1: "High Noon"
Let's kick off the podcast with a little Western! This short story is titled "High Noon".
