We are currently selling first editions of my book on kickstarter before it’s released in stores etc! The nice thing about kickstarter is we can add perks like art stickers, limited edition copies and other cool things! For these first editions to be released tho we need to make the kickstarter goal which is only $900 if we go above that goal extra perks will be added such as an animated chapter to go with the audio book. I would be so grateful and honored if anyone who can, could support my book!

Hi I’m Mekenze I’m the vp of the writing club, I love the thought of writing but my commitment to actually finishing a wip is non existent. I’ve completed one and it’s currently getting published. I love realistic fiction, romance, and gothic fiction.

Hey y’all, I’m Mark. I’m a freshman who kind of likes “bland” writing, if you will. I struggle with creative stories and prompts without strict boundaries. In other words, when I’m told to write something that has a specific prompt that doesn’t have too much wiggle room, I will write the heck out of it. However, when there is more room for creativity and different ways to do something, I begin to struggle a bit. So, that’s part of what I hope to improve on.

Create Hope in the World

As a hardcore greek mythology nerd, the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word hope is the story of Pandora’s Box, in which one girl’s curiosuiy leads to every evil being released on man kind, along with one good thing to help them fight it, hope. This story tells of how even with all the wickedness there is to be seen in our world, hope is the one thing that will get us through life. The one thing that will keep us going. And quite plainly, hope is a scarce resource. How are we meant to survive? I believe in order to have hope you must know who you are. You must know what you want out of life. You must know how you define your life. But who could ever do that? People have been trying to figure out the meaning of life since the beginning of time, and we’ll likely never find it. We’ll… I think I got it. I know I know, alert the media this girl who can’t even enter a bar has somehow discovered the meaning of life. I will accept my Nobel Peace Prize in the form of ten-thousand puppies. Hold your horses, and your puppies, this is just my personal definition. So, my meaning of life can be found in one very specific place… the beach. Bear with me. Let's take a mental trip, as you arrive at the beach you may notice the countless signs telling you not to let your dog off its leash, demanding you park in specific places and occasionally a startling amount of signs telling you not to get in the water. What else you you suppose to do here. Now I want you to focus your attention on one specific sign. Try to ignore the horrible smell of seaweed baking in the sun and that segal stealing that child's chips, and read the words on that one little sign. “Leave it better than you found it.” This sign is sometimes small sometimes huge, a lot of the time it’s less polite, a lot of the time it reads “If we see you litter you have to pay 200 dollars.” But every time it is surrounded by trash, sometimes people listen to the sign and pick up all the trash they can, sometimes people just pick up their own, most of the time people just add to it. And that's life, perfectly encapsulated by a standard vacation destination that was never quite as fun as you pictured it being. So the meaning of life, at least the way I see it, can be found in that one simple sign. “Leave the world better than you found it.” The way to have hope, the way to keep hope, is to know that what you do matters, no matter how small. I want to spend my whole life striving to make the world better and make the people around me happier. You don’t have to solve world hunger, I mean if you can, get on that what you are waiting for, but maybe start with opening the door for as many people as you can, joining a community service club, and complimenting people whenever you like something they're wearing. Love the dress. To have hope is to know that the world is getting better and cleaner, and that people’s lives are getting richer and more joyful. And how can you know that if you aren't working for it, contributing to it, being it. There was so much evil that was let out of that box, but even with all the sorrow, all that greed, all the violence hope is still there and always will be. What you must do, what I must do, what we all must is know how to arm ourselves with it. Cover our hearts, our minds, our very souls in the sacred shield that was gifted to us when we were cursed with the knowledge of how much there is to fear in the world we live in. But good comes with bad, Bad comes with good, we are also given eyes to see, ears to hear, hands to touch all the wonder that our existence has to offer. Doing community service gives me hope because I can see the smiles on the faces of the children I make paper airplanes with, hear the thank yous of the people I give food to, feel the hugs of all the people I try my very best to help. For me, having hope is seeing the good I can evoke in the world with my words, my mind, my actions, and knowing that it never has to end. I never have to stop smiling at people, never have to stop opening doors for people, never have to stop complimenting people. Love the dress! The smiles I can elicit from other people are what give my life meaning, what give me hope. And I use hope to fight off the despair that consumes a mind subject to the tyranny of the macabre reality life presents me with. The world can be so ugly, so sad, so filled with trash, figurative and literal. The evil we as a people are capable of can make you want to give up, want to sink into the cold depths of a hopeless ocean filled to the brim with trash. But if you and I can make the constant choice to be the good that cleans and betters the world, then the bad seems less overwhelming, less intimidating, less unfixable. Every day of my life I want to keep hope in my heart and inspire it in others. And I know that I can do that by showing myself everyday that it’s never to late to do good, to clean, to leave the world better than I found it. Creating hope, quite plainly starts with me and you. Show yourself, show others that even with all the evil, all the crulty, all the sadness that we must endure we will always have the formidable defence of hope.
