Here I am -- writing, reading, exercising, cooking, and sometimes cleaning my home. I try to do that last thing as little as possible. This blog is purposefully kept up as a way to stay accessible on social media since I have big dreams of continuing to be an author. If you'd be so kind, check out my available stories! I keep a running list of published works here, at the top post: http://trayellis.dreamwidth.org/

Finally! The first line!
I've been trying to start writing a short story, and I know the entire form of the story, and the characters, and their histories, and what happens. But what I didn't know was the opening line! Finally, today, it came to me. I've got a couple hundred words started on the story now. First lines are so important. Without them, the entire rest of the story either shows up begrudgingly or not at all!
