REQUESTING BETA READERS FOR "I Am Not Your Maid!" & " Monster"!

"Think of a book special to you, and how much bleaker and poorer your life would be if that one writer had not existed—if that one writer had not, a hundred times or a thousand, made the choice to write. You’re going to be that one writer, one day, for somebody you may never meet. Nobody can write that book you’re going to write—that book that will light up and change up a life—but you."— Sarah Rees Brennan

“Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.” ― George Orwell

"Writers don't write to get published.
They write for the love of writing.
Because if they were not writing,
they wouldn't know what to do."

About Joflower:

Greetings. I have been a member on this site for over ten years and used to write teen fiction while I was in high school. Now in my mid-twenties, done college and university, I am pursing my love of writing again in hopes of getting published some day. It was difficult to find my creative voice again after years of structured essay writing, but now I'm getting more ideas than I can keep up with.

I finished writing the first draft to "I Am Not Your Maid!" for NaNoWriMo 2013, so I will be editing that and posting the chapters in December. I rewrote the beginning because it disappointed me and wasn't catchy enough. (In other words: I HATE IT) It's better now.

I'm also currently working on revamping a novel I wrote in 9th grade entitled "Wild Child" that I hope to get published soon before I return to my new projects. Please check out "Wild Child" and let me know what you think. Thanks.

Current projects:
