My name is Elyssa Allen.
This blog is dedicated to my writing. Feel free to leave writing prompts—be it an opening sentence, lyric/song, topic, setting or character description or photograph—in my formspring. I'm always looking for inspiration.

I’m not happy with it, but I’m releasing it anyway so that I may force myself to move forward. The more time I spend tearing apart this one chapter, the less time I have to spend on actually finishing the writing part.
I haven’t written in third person since I was ten and wrote the Milly the Monkey Goes to… series, so Origin is basically me experimenting with that. I definitely prefer first person, but when I tried converting the first chapter into first person narration, it didn’t feel right. So for now, it shall stay as is.

yWriter and Word are open, wrist brace is on, makeup is off so I can feel free to rub my face and headdesk repeatedly, I’ve got my handy notebook full of notes and secrets, a great playlist is a shufflin’, and I am ready to step back into the life of Brynn Vanderburg.
See ya’ later… assuming I don’t blow my head off.
I made a comment about the story "Meet Me at the Lighthouse" on Wattpad:
@_Flieder_ Thank you so much! I appreciate it. :)

The second flash fiction piece I wrote in creative writing. The guidelines were similar to that of the sestina’s (we had to repeat words and we couldn’t use real names, only familial pronouns), and therefore, this piece became a semi-non-fiction companion piece to my sestina for Madelyn.

The villanelle I wrote in creative writing. I took the idea from a letter I wrote to a boy that I had feelings for back in high school. I posted it without naming him and he asked who I wrote it for, and of course, I did not tell him the truth.

I find that, when writing bios, it’s really helpful to look at a list or a chart like the one above. Picking two or three traits...
