NEWS:
Sunday, February 11, 2007: Immortality, the story of Cleo's reincarnation in a very different time, has begun to be posted. It's a little different than the other things I've written, and I finished it almost a year ago. Check it out and please review.
Tuesday, July 25, 2006: Mortality
is now posted in its entirety, and I would love to hear opinions on it.
The prologue and first chapter of "Delilah" are up and waiting to be
read. I plan to add more as I get reviews. Another short story, "The
Librarian," has been posted. As always, please review.
Sunday, October 23, 2005: I got rid of a lot of stuff on this profile. I was sick of it being so long.
About Me:
My name is Jill. I'm 18 years old and live in South Jersey, USA. I am
currently two months away from starting my Sophomore year at college. More than anything, I aspire to be a
writer, to be loved for my characters and to see my characters loved,
to have the freedom to dedicate my every waking moment to the progress of my
writing. My novels have barely seen the light of day, but there is
always time. For the time being, I plan to enter community college and begin working towards a degree in Literature.
About My Work:
My love for writing was born in seventh
grade, when I began to fail math (my favorite subject until that time)
and gain a passion for English. I wrote a few poems in that time, for
school or otherwise, and was pleasantly surprised at how much praise I
gained for my work. I began to envision a life as a paid poet (nearly
impossible, I now know). I wrote a few extremely short stories as well,
not liking them as much as the poems. In ninth grade, I began working
on my first novel, finishing it in around five months. I've since
rewsritten that particular novel several times (the most recent version
is currently on FictionPress - Mortality), and started many, many
sequels, even finishing a few. I'm currently still working on the many
sequels in the large Mortality and Immortality series, and writing
shorter works and poems as they come to me.
Works of Mine that I Would Recommend:
The Shade of Eternity:
This is a short story that I wrote for my Creative Writing class during
my senior year. It deals with a concept called the Darkness, the place
and substance beyond all other levels of reality. I had been wanting to
write about the Darkness for years and currently consider "The Shade of
Eternity" to be my best work. Reviews are much appriciated.
Delilah:
"Delilah" is an extended short story with deals with many issues,
including suicide and sexuality. It's the most...edgy thing I've
written so
far, and with the added supernatural twists, I'm very satisfied with
it. At the moment, only the prologue and first chapter are posted. I
plan to post the other six chapters and the epilogue as I recieve
reviews.
Mortality: Mortality was my first novel, the beginning of a long series I'm
currently still working on. I know that it could use some work as far
as grammer goes, but I would appriciate any comments about what I do
have. Tell me where I went wrong...or what I did right.
