Story #14 - For My Mother
Hi everyone! Happy Mother's Day. This story is different from any of the other ones, because it's a "tribute story". It's for my mom, the best mom ever. It's not only Mother's Day today - it's also my mom's birthday. So this following story consists of a few of my most significant memories of our time together. Hopefully anyone who reads it will be able to find similar experiences!
Title: For My Mother
Warnings: None
Summary: A tribute to my mom. :)
Length: ~1,500 words
Notes: First person point of view, mostly past tense. I suppose this fits into the memoir genre, and inside that, it's a tribute. I don't know if tribute is a genre, but it should be!
Enjoy!

Story #12 - Three Little Words
Hi everyone! Man, I'm tired. I'm back home now, but I didn't get back 'till 2 AM. And now it's back to school already! Spring break sure passes quickly. Anyways, about this story - it's a true story about I not-so-great friend I had in elementary school. There's a bit of teen angst (even though technically I wasn't a teen in 6th grade). A huge thank you to everyone who commented on my previous story - I've never written horror before and I really appreciate the feedback. As always, I'd love feedback on this story too. Happy reading!
Title: Three Little Words
Warnings: depressing... bad friendship... negative feelings
Summary: "Today, I would finally do it. I'd finally say "I hate you" to my best friend of over six years."
Length: ~1,200 words
Notes: First person point of view, past tense. Genre is memoir, and inside of that, probably drama or angst.

Story #7 - Temporary Insanity
Alright, this week, I have another memoir. As the title would suggest, this memoir details a crazy moment in my life. In short, it's the time I decided to jump off a building (ziplining, don't worry, not suicide). I had maybe a bit too much fun with Random Capitalizations in this story. Let me know if I overdid it. Also, I really wasn't sure how to end it, so the ending is very abrupt. That's about it, I think... True story, all of this really happened. I don't mean any offense by any of the things I say... Disclaimer, disclaimer, etc. As always, thank you to everyone who read and/or reviewed my last story. I hope you enjoy this one! :)
Title: Temporary Insanity
Warnings: ...Risk-taking?
Summary: The story of when I decided to jump off Sky Tower in New Zealand.
Length: ~ 2,500 words
Notes: First point of view, mostly present tense but there might be some mix-ups. Genre is memoir and... kind of a mix between drama and humor, I guess.

Story #4 - Welcome to Scotland
Hi all! I'm here with my fourth story. To my surprise, this memoir turned out to be much harder to write than my fictional stories. Usually it's the other way around for me. Again, I'd like to thank you for your comments on my previous story (and stories). At the end of the story, I'm including a picture of our rental car in a... compromising situation. Read on to find out what that is! ;)

Warnings: "Bad language" (think symbols)
Summary: The story of my first day in Scotland and how crazy it was.
