"Author" Introduction

Hi, I am Jasmine, a very beginner in writing who majored in creative media, specialised in graphic design, but unfortunately I do find myself getting creative shortage often when it comes to some significant tasks.

My writing ideas usually popped up when sitting in a car, staring out of the window while listening to music. I like imagining scenes a lot, especially when reading a story, the scenes will just form in my mind with ease, a true certified professional delulu. Overall, as a new writer, I would shortly introduce myself as "peak in imagination but weak in development".

Assignment 1: Short Story

Story Title: Family Feast
Description: A young girl standing at the train station in the middle of the night, approached by a middle-aged man. What could possibly happen to them?

Assignment 2: Monologue

This monologue is based on the main character (the little vampire girl) from the previous short story assignment.

Description: She came back from an errand running but encountered some unpleasant experience, now you are sitting beside her and listening to her complaints and grudges.

Assignment 3: Poetry Writing

For this task I was working with Yi Ki and Silvia, we picked Goth and Gore as our theme and went a bit wild with the story idea. The initial idea started with a guy dying and rethinking his whole life,. Then we thought of the context behind it, we eventually came out with a dark and angsty idea.

Description: MC is a guy with a hobby of cutting dead animal bodies, which makes him isolated because people think he is weird. But there's only one boy who doesn't care about his hobby and has had a close friendship with him since childhood. MC cherished him a lot, and eventually developed feelings. But when they grew up, they also grew apart. Then some significant event happens which makes MC ends up losing his important person...
