Creative Writing
I have developed a lot of different pieces of writing over the years and I’m so glad to be able to share it with you here! Feel free to take a look at any of my works and I hope you find them enjoyable!
A Tree in Winter
Like a tree in winter. Life hesitant to be drawn out. No foliage. No buds or flowers. Just a tall stump of branches. Standing. Waiting. Birds twitter branch to branch. Squirrels huddle deep in their nests. And the tree still stands, Waiting for a call for life again. The winds beat. Blizzards rage. A branch…
Go Boldly
What is one thing you would change about yourself? To chase a dreamNo matter how difficult it seemsThat’s what it means to go boldly To not be held down by anxiety Or let fear cause you to fleeThat’s how you go boldly Hold your head highKeep your eyes on the skyThat’s how you walk boldly…
The Golden Apple
Standing at the bottom of a cliffStaring up at a great tree on topA golden apple sways high on its branchesYour only hope from starvation You begin your climbFind your first footholdJagged rocks roughen your bare hands, bare feetFive feet up, you think this will be easy A stretch and a grab on a rocky…

A Novel Thanksgiving
Have you ever introduced Thanksgiving to your characters? Maybe you have characters that know what it is because it goes along with your setting, but what about other worldly characters? Have you ever tried to explain it? How would you explain it? Would you simply say its a holiday that started because some people got…
All the More Sweeter
Stand at the top of the rise of a hill. A forest stretches ahead and rises again to greet the horizon. Milky white rivers of fog slip through the trees, so thick in patches you can’t see through it. The fading night brings a chill to your skin that you welcome morning’s light. It offers…
Time
If there’s no time for anything. How do we get anything done? Time to dilly dally. Time to waste. We claim we’re taking time to recuperate. When time is out the door And you’re not motivated anymore You find yourself wondering What do you live for? Family? Friends? A well paying job? That dream in…
Everyone has those random thoughts you have throughout the day. Something might be stuck on your chest that you just can’t shake off. Writing helps me shake things off and maybe checking out these random thoughts might help you? Sometimes, we don’t realize that other people can think or feel the same way about a topic that we might think is off the wall.
Than Knowledge
Lately, I’ve been into a TV show call Reba. It’s about a single mom who works too hard. Who loves her kids and never stops. She’s gone through divorce. She has a pregnant teen. It’s a very real and heartfelt show where the characters love each other enough to get mad and work it out.…
Pumpkin Sunrise
A soft fog layers the streets. The chill of night dampens your jacket and courses a shiver down your spine. As you head to your car, a streak of black catches your eye. You turn your head in time to see the silhouette of a cat dart under a streetlight. You dig your keys out…
Burnout
Head in hand Elbow on knee All you want is to go back to sleep Feeling charred Feeling chipped and cracked Like the waning moon, You want to fade to black A busy day Then a busier day And one more (for good measure) It doesn’t seem to end Tasks stack up continuously But the…

About Me
Hey, I’m Nikki! I am a nerdy geek who has a passion for writing, drawing, painting, and many other art media. Ever since I can remember, I’ve been crafting stories in my head whether they were original works or fanfictions. Over ten years ago, I started writing a novel and developing my skills as a writer, and, now, that novel is near completion! I do consider myself a Christian writer, but most of my stories are all fantasy and sci-fi based. Read more...
