A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Thanks for stopping by, and if you are reading this - Thank you for taking the time to read this!

First of all, my name is Brandy - I'm 28 years old, married, and a Paralegal. I have stepkids (2), two dogs and four cats.

I've been writing for a very long time - I love every thing about writing. It's a healing thing - a stress relief - an affair of the heart, mind, and soul. It is my first love - my forever love.

I love to read as well, love to help others with their ideas, and even love to do a little editing.

I'm working on a couple projects right now; a couple different story-lines. I'm hoping to have something ready for rejection by summer! =)

That's about it - I love to meet like-minded people, so feel free to chat away!

A Cheater's Heart

How Writing Became Me

How Writing Became Me

"Tell me, Brandy, who are you?"

I was asked that question when I was thirteen years old as I stared into the face of my newest psychologist. He understood something about me I had failed to understand at my young age. My life had been a whirlwind of trauma, disappointment, and anger.

I had no idea who I was. I was lost in the story of my life, the wrongs I had seen, the victim I had been. I was haunted by rape and abuse, abandonment and hatred. I was suffocating in my… Continue

The Destroyer

THE DESTROYER

In the darkness there was a candle, burning bright;
a beacon of direction; a steady whisper of hope;
A soul reaching out across the distance; grasping,
holding onto that which made it whole.

And now, in the darkness there lies only
confusion, anger, and heartache.
A healing scar of what was lost;
a taunting wound of loneliness.

And yet...

Truth comes in many colors, many fabrics,
many strands of silken promises.
Therein lies the gainful weight of all that was
that never will be… Continue

We should be cyber-pals. I'm willing to critique stuff, so are you and we both have or will have stuff that may need critiquing! Sounds like fate from the gods! Or maybe a random accident, who can tell?
