Stacy Kendra Williams is a 25-year-old student living in Mobile, AL, who somehow thinks it is appropriate to speak of herself in the third person while writing an About Me section. ...
So I’m trying to get back in the saddle of writing my true masterpiece over the Christmas holiday. I’m not really one to write out of chronological order, so that means the dreaded first scene is the one I started with. I know my writing doesn’t have the same kind of quality that it will [...]
Describing a character is one of the hardest things for me to do in writing. Oh, it’s not that I don’t know what they look like. It’s not that I can’t come up with details, either. Nor is it that I can’t find the words to describe the character. I’m sure hell will freeze over [...]

With the killer momentarily stuck in the door, we managed to slip into the hallway through Jamal’s room and down the stairs. I ran into the kitchen to find a telephone, but to no avail.

This isn’t my usual genre, and it’s certainly not my best writing, but it’s fairly entertaining at least, especially if you are a fan of the horror genre. This was written for my Horror class as a final paper this semester, and I [...]

So far, most of the matches have been pretty decent, but occasionally my mom gets contacted with fake profiles that try to get her to contact them outside of the service. Instead of simply deleting the messages, she [...]
Class is now over. Today, we worked on Pop Art and learned how to create some odds and ends in Painter. My Wacom tablet stopped working near the end of the day. It was my first Wacom and I’ve had it since 2002. I think it was trying to tell me something: get a new [...]
Today we finished our very own personal paintings. Mine was pretty cool. I couldn’t get over how easy it was to add in a shoulder that had been cropped out of my reference photo. I mean I love that shoulder! Look at it! It looks like it belongs there!
This may not sound very awesome to [...]
Today was extremely productive. This trip has already been totally worth it. I learned techniques today that will allow me to do stuff I’ve been doing ten times faster and with way better results! At the same time, it was very mentally exhausting. I didn’t get my morning Coke this morning and as a result [...]
