I haven’t posted original content in a week. I’m sorry. I didn’t have time make a new character profile or anything. I had costumes to sew and Halloween swallowed me whole! But I do have a little excerpt from my Amara story. Here you go!
Amara crashed into the upstairs of her parents’ home, her home. Emerald green sparks flowed around her as she fell to the floor.
“Amara!” Her mother, Kiva, ran over to check on her.
“I’m okay,” Amara huffed out as she tried to catch her breath. “I’m okay,” she repeated as her mom helped her from the floor and her sister, Avery, joined. They sat her against a wall, sat on each side of her and waited.
It took Amara a minute to realize where she was. She hadn’t been as focused as she would have been normally. She looked around the room. It was a large rectangle with thick black mats on the floor. Weapons lined the wall in front of her and a door stood to her left on one of the short walls.
She was in one of her family’s training rooms. The second floor of their house held four of them, each with an identical setup. But the second floor was also hidden from anyone outside the family. To everyone else their home was a single level house.
Amara let out an exasperated sigh and stood as she shouted, “He threw me off a cliff!” She was glad her mom and sister hadn’t pushed her to talk until she wanted to. They were good at that.
“Who what?” Avery asked in confusion from her spot on the floor.
“The killer! He threw me off a cliff! A frickin’ cliff!” Amara repeated as she threw her hands in the air. “When I catch him, he’s gonna regret every little—“
“If you catch him.”
“Ugh. Avery, you’re not funny.” Amara sat back between them.
“Shut up. I’m hilarious,” Avery chuckled.
“Not right now.” Amara sighed.
“I know you’re frustrated, sweetie.” Kiva set a hand on Amara’s. “But you’ll get him.”
“You should probably give him a better name than ‘the killer’ though. He did just throw you off a cliff.”
“So he’s earned himself a nickname by nearly killing me?” Amara raised a brow at her sister.
“Welllllll…..” Avery stalled. “It is pretty impressive.”
“And creative,” her mom added.
“Yes, he’s impressive and creative. And, oh yeah, he’s a murderer!”
“You do have to call him something unless you want to keep calling him ‘the killer’,” Kiva said.
“What would you recommend I call him?”
“How about Cliff?” Avery laughed and Kiva joined.
“Ha ha laugh it up. I could have died!”

Hey there. I'm Wendy. Thanks for taking some time to visit my site. It’s been redone from the original mom/crafting blog it started out as.
I'm a stay at home mom. My husband and I have two beautiful daughters. Some days are a little overwhelming. But all days with my girls, overwhelming or not, are cherished. There are no words for the bond I share with them. I try to never forget how blessed I am to be their mommy.
I probably have the strongest sweet tooth ever. I have an ever present craving for brownies. Also, a great love of chocolate milk. I'm a huge fan of the Oxford comma. Gotta separate those items! Another favorite is Halloween. I don't like all the gory things but I really love dressing my girls and myself up. I make most of our costumes and look forward to it all year. Rain is my absolute favorite weather, as you might have guessed.
I don't consider myself a DIYer. But I was always taught, "Don't buy what you can make." So if I see something I like I try to figure out if I can make it before considering buying. I only have basic sewing and crafting skills, but I get by and will continue improving.
I adore makeup and fashion and am trying to improve my sewing skills to do more diverse things than kids clothes. I want to start making beautiful gowns and costumes for my friends and family for fun. Maybe someday I can make a business from it. For now it’s just a hobby and I hope you enjoy what I come up with.
You’ll also see a lot of writing excerpts on here. I love writing. I've written a couple books in a series and that'll be what I post the most of. I mostly do modern fictional fantasy. I keep everything very PG-13. I don’t write anything more mature than that. I feel like the adult book market is all books that would be rated R or Christian category. I want something in the middle. So I write in the middle. It’s not young adult or Christian, but it isn’t rated R either.
I’m going to post my creative endeavors in writing and sewing, which might include sketches of sewing ideas, on here. I hope you find it fun! If you do, drop me a comment.
I am also glad to say I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You may know it as LDS or Mormon but that’s the proper name and I believe it states far better what our church is about. Sometimes I struggle to get to church on Sundays but I do have a strong testimony. If you have any questions about our religion feel free to ask.
I guess that about covers it. That's me! Enjoy my blog. Don't be afraid to ask questions, give feedback, or leave comments. You can also find me on Tumblr and Pinterest under Rainy Day Darling. See ya around!
