Hi. Just completely deleted the run-on blabber that was once here. My name on here is Colors_of_the_Wind. You can find me on YouTube under AriasEmporium, and on Facebook under Marie ColorsoftheWind Carter. My legal first name is Aria. I have been writing for almost a decade and I still come up with some crappy ideas and some wonderful ideas so I don't think that really goes away ever. My characters run around in my head all day, most of the time just making a ruckus nowadays, but sometimes actually yelling at me to write something. Philena is famous for that I'm that writer that loves writing cliff hangers, but hates to read them. Currently at DQ and opened my Etsy shop Aria's Emporium a little over a year ago now. I sell shave soap, unisex fragrances, bath truffles, beard oils and many more bath & body products. Working on creating my own soap recipe so watch out for that! Oh! And I sell some wax tarts as well. All of my products are made in small batches by me, myself & I and are inspired by anything and everything, but mostly nature and pop-culture.Andrew (Circle_Something) and I have been going strong for a little over 5 years now, still 4,500 miles away from each other with only Skype, letters/packages, and social media to keep us goin', so, ya know, if we can do it, so can you! Because of this, there are some mushy love poems and musings about, but... #sorrynotsorry.I write realistic fiction that usually starts as an awareness piece and evolves into something larger, as well as poetry and the once-in-a-blue-moon song. I love reading fantasy, but have tried and cannot write it, though I do enjoy supernatural, post-apocalyptic and the occasional romance. I've begun writing the sequel to my realistic fiction piece Tomorrow. You can find the first chapter of the original here: http://www.storiesspace.com/stories/flash-fiction/tomorrow-chapter-one.aspx and the little arrows at the bottom will lead you all the way through to the final chapter. You can also find the first chapter of the sequel here: http://www.storiesspace.com/stories/general/today-chapter-one.aspxDon't try to preach at me or pull the age card, those are big pet peeves. Other than that, I love everyone. Consult below for any other questions you may have, or message me.~A "If the reader doesn't feel what the narrator feels, the writer has failed."

Hey y'all. It's been a while since I was on here. I've recently started writing the sequel to my Tomorrow story. Philena is doing as well as can be expected in this sequel. I've written the first chapter which is quite a bit longer than I thought it would be and now am on to the second where I feel I must describe the legal process she is going through with Stepmonster, but I've never written anything of the sort. I was wondering if any of you may know, whether from experience of being in a court room in one role or another or just from writing a lot of crime stories, the order in which one may go. Who will speak first? Will they try him for her mother's murder and all the abuse she's suffered in the one go or no? What kind of questions will they ask, both the prosecution (her side) and the defense (his side)? As always, if there are any tips or extra details/info you can offer me, I certainly welcome it.Thank you :)~Aria
I used to write to let all my emotions and thoughts out onto a page, figuring if they were here or on deviantART, they couldn't hurt me too bad. Then I wrote strictly for awareness reasons on subjects such as eating disorders, depression, ptsd and various other disorders, not to mention diseases like the various cancers that are out there. Now... I don't write often, but most of my writing pops out as a musing or a rant about something or other, though I am working on the sequel to Tomorrow right now. I have yet to decide whether to share it here. If ever I find it worthy of publishing, it should probably have never been publicly available, correct?I still write for awareness occasionally and every once in a while I'll need to get out a few anxious thoughts, but most of my writing now is centered on a story I started previously.

Claustrophobia - fear of confined spacesHydrophobia - fear of waterTelephobia - fear of answering the phone or calling someone on the phone (usually seen in cases of social anxiety)I'm also rather scared of spiders, snakes, and other various insects/etc, but I do not have an actual PHOBIA of them. My fear of water is extreme- I can get in the shallow end of the pool, but that's about it, and forget about lakes and ocean water. The phone one makes my job rather stressful and getting a different job quite difficult as, while I CAN answer the phone, it's freaking terrifying. Claustrophobia is rather normal in my family and mine's not too bad. My grandma doesn't like elevators while I can tolerate them. I couldn't do closets or- as much as I want one for my bed- a coffin bed that closed, but other than that... meh.

“Somebody!” “Please!” “Please, somebody !” The screams fill my ears as I watch the news video play out. The gunshots punctuate every cry with a hollow shout. My heart beats like a hummingbird’s wings with the knowledge that if we do not fix this - if this just keeps going and we don't change something in our system - my nieces could have to worry about this when they go to school. When...

Long Distance isn't romantic. It isn't hidden love letters and long visits with the knowledge you'll see them again in six months. Long distance is loving someone so much it hurts to be away from them. It's knowing that they're blushing or smiling or crying just by the tone of their silence - they don't even have to giggle or speak anymore, you just know. It's dreaming that they are there...

I started this and realized I don't really know what I'm going to write... it's been a long, long time since I last wrote anything on here, so I guess this is just going to be a musing... maybe. It's been a little over three months since I stayed the night at a friend's house and we drove to pick up Andrew at the airport the next day. That day was amazing - like a dream come true. We...

"Come here, 'Lena. Come over to your stepfather." He beckons to me and I walk over, thinking maybe, just maybe, that day at the Zoo was a one-time thing. Maybe... maybe he wouldn't hurt me any more. Maybe he'd be a new Dad- not so much a replacement for Daddy, but a new one. Someone to keep his spot warm. "That's a good little girl. Come on." He removes my pants and holds me...

I fall asleep after our Skype session, not even glancing at the clock because I know it's early morning. We say "Goodnight, sleep well and sweet dreams" and our I love yous. It is getting increasingly more difficult to end the call afterwards, because all I want to do all day, every day is Skype with you. All I want to do now, all day, is be with you. I am aching to hold you in May even...
