Cascara (aka Sprint Goes Cascading!)

1/16/2021 UPDATE: I didn't post anything since 2017 on this website...and I stopped writing altogether from 2017-2019 because I was going through a stressful time in life.

Ever since the pandemic started in 2020, I've whipped up multiple new pieces. I'm proud to say I've subtly improved in my writing skills! However, I think I've outgrown this website. I post my newer pieces (from 2020 forwards) on a couple of different websites.

I know I wasn't close to anyone on this website at all, but to the ones who've given me feedback on a regular basis, thank you. I didn't forget you. If I ever find the energy to post my favorite, newer pieces on on WritersCafe, I'll be back. I didn't forget any of the memories I've had on this website xx

I've taken up writing as a more serious past time since the summer of 2011... so I've definitely got a long way to go. And I am willing to go that long way...hopefully. (There are people here and there who've praised my writing skills, in the past and in the present.)

I've got many sides to myself: formal, informal, "normal", likeable, dislikeable, etc. All the people who have met me face-to-face don't just consent on one viewpoint about me...

As of now, my writing style is concise and flowery, but that might change in the future. :)

I'm open to all feedback and friend requests. Read requests are turned off, but I will return reviews/comments and support my friends who review/comment on my work regularly.

My "reviews" are more like honest and positive comments, but if I do give feedback such comments are longer.

Shine, bright morning light
Now in the air the spring is coming
Sweet, blowing wind
Singing down the hills and valleys
Keep your eyes on me
Now we're on the edge of hell
Dear my love, sweet morning light
Wait for me, you've gone much farther, too far
- "Fake Wings" by Emily Bindiger

Is reach into the heart of you
Is as simple and true as the love you inspire in me
So let me fall
- "My Saving Grace" by ATB

So let me fall, let me love you
Let me free your inner child
Let me sit inside your silence
Let me ease the hurt you hide
'Cause I'm alive, I'm unlucky
I'm a line to fine to trace
But I could be your consolation
If you'd be my saving grace
- "My Saving Grace" by ATB
