Wow, it's been a long time since I've been on this website. It literally says I last updated anything in 2017--three whole years ago. I definitely didn't mean to be gone so long, especially because I planned to--FINALLY--update Popstar Paradise like almost 2 years ago. It's no excuse, but life got in the way, I guess, so if anyone sees this who was anticipating an update, I'm sorry it took so long. And yes, you read that correctly. I'll actually be updating Popstar Paradise; in fact, the next chapter is written and should be up tomorrow (2/28/2020) after I make a few edits.

Name: TwistedTrident, but feel free to give me a nickname if it so suits you!

Grade/Occupation: I am a freshman in college, majoring in English with a concentration in writing! Ultimately, my dream is to become a published fiction writer, but in the mean time, I'm content with serving frozen yogurt in a little shop near my house.

Favorite Books: Anything written by Rick Riordan or Alexandra Bracken! "Quite frankly, I'd read their grocery lists!" (And I will give a virtual high five to whoever can tell me what book/movie that's from). The Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. And about a thousand others that would take me 20 years to name them all! Odds are, though, if it's young adult fiction, I've read it!!

Story Updates: New Popstar Paradise Chapter coming Feb. 28

Currently Reading: Wayfarer by Alexandra Bracken. Fantastic read. 10/10 would recommend. However, start with the first book, Passenger!

Happy Reading,

~TwistedTrident

Dear bullies,

See that girl you just called fat? She is starving herself. You know that girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting on make-up hoping people will like her. That boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home. See that old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars? He fought for our country. See that young boy you just made fun of for always being sick? He has to walk home in the snow cause his family is too poor. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother is dying.

Re-Post this if you are against bullying. I bet many of you won't. Your life is probably not as harsh as theirs, plus you're probably a douchebag.
