Authors and Writers age 25 and younger: Show me your creations! Tell me your stories

[Leyelle]

Just cuz we're young doesn't mean we can't hustle, baby. I've been writing PROFESSIONALLY for 4 years (I'm 19 btw.)

Let's show what we're capable of. Share your proudest accomplishments!

My first two publications were in Sasee Magazine ( a women's lifestyle magazine)
Then I won the H.G. Wells Short Story Competition in 2023
Last year I was published in "Talk Vomit" "100-Foot Crow" and "On The Premises Magazine" and I have a poem forth coming in a university magazine (which I won't say by name since it hasn't all been announced to the public yet.)

Also here's some of my art, just because:

To be honest, I only started my comic career less than 5 months ago, but hey, at least that's a start, right?

In the meantime, I learned how to use online screen tones, which I promptly made use of here:

Sorry, @Leyelle , I meant to say screentones. I don't know where the online part came from, tbh.

So screentones are those little patterns that you apply to your comic or manga. They're mostly used in manga, but I guess the online part came from the fact that my drawing software has built-in screentones. Anyway, I should've said digital instead of online, that was a mistake.

272 pages? for real? that's like two complete novels or close I think. I've only completed one. Also over 25 isn't old, just old enough for actually old people to have to acknowledge you as an adult XD.

[Leyelle]

are these characters Pokemon from the series or ones you created yourself? IDK a lot about Pokemon tbh lol, so i'm just wondering

Yalls, can take a gander at my comic, If you like scifi, horror, creature features!
Essentially, this is a story of grief and moving forwards after losses. Salvador Hendricks, a mission commander, is driven from a dying Earth into space tries to find solace after the collapse of humanity and his husband's passing. In his missions abroad into the stars he finds himself in a predicament, up against an alien lifeform ...and becoming an unsuspecting father to ten children.

I'm under 25 yep. That's why my novel has been on hiatus as I want to finish the novel before posting it again.
