Need some writing done? I can help you! I can write songs, produce songs and do creative writing. I can work by the hour, the page, or the short story, song, or article!
A short story I wrote. I had 20 minutes to create a story based on the concept of you are walking on the beach and come across a bottle in the sand
Walking the beach, and what do I stumble on? A bottle. Instantly I think of that song by the Police “Message in a bottle” I open it and what do my eyes behold? A treasure map. I’m like no way; it’s 2025 not the 1600’s. My mind begins to think – what is this the Goonies? I don’t want to be chased while on some wild goose chase, but my mind gets the best of me and I’m like hey why not? What do I have to lose? I’m off for the weekend, and maybe if I find riches I can finally tell my boss to shove it.
So I start out 10 paces to the left, whoops I have to remind myself the other left. Ok now we are on course and before I know it, I spot a cave and I’m like naw this can’t be real. When am I going to wake up? But I follow the directions and go into the cave and look around. It’s dark and creepy and I’m like where are the lights? It’s a good thing I have a phone with a light on it. I tell Siri to turn on the flashlight so I can get a look around. Then I see it, an old lamp laying sideways on the ground and I’m like no way. Really an old lamp? What, is there a Geneie inside? I could only wish – if it’s true I can get three wishes and I will want them all.
So I blow the dust off the lamp and give it a rub and believe it or not a Genie pops out. He’s like girl thanks I’ve been in here for over 1000 years and I really gotta pee. I’m like no way this can’t be real. This is what gets people sent to the state hospital, but I’m like what the heck? So I ask – do I get a wish? He’s like actually you get 3 of them just like the movies. Really? 3 wishes?
So I start with my first wish – to have enough money for a lifetime so I can quit my job and he’s like wish granted, check your account online and tell me that’s not enough. I’m like ok and sure enough it’s there. I send the I quit text to my boss and think carefully about the next 2 wishes. What does my little heart desire? A princess castle? Dolls? Toys? A new car? So many choices. I can’t decide and finally I come up with the 2nd wish, a huge room filled with dolls and doll houses for me to enjoy.
Finally, I go for it. I’m like I’ve always wanted a Corvette, and I’m going to ask for it. So I tell the Genie I want a Purple Corvette Convertible with black interior and pink trim. He’s like gurl you want a lot but, wish granted – check outside the cave. Sure enough it’s there. I’m like no way Constance and I are going to have a sweet ride home.
What’s that sound? It’s going ding, ding, ding – then I realize it’s Alexa with my 6 AM wakeup alarm. What? It was only a dream. I go and get ready for another day at work – hoping I didn’t really send the I quit text…

I wrote a grief song about a lost spouse. It’s a little sad, but I make happy songs too! Here is the song, and if you would like to hear it click the links tab and check out my YouTube channel. The song is called miss you:
Got up this morning
Another day without you
And I wonder how
I’m gonna make it through
The day you left
You took a piece of me
And no there’s no doctor that
Can mend my broken heart
And I feel lost yeah
Cause you cannot light the way
Babe I need you yeah
I wish you could have stayed
And I miss you
Yeah
Like Piglet would miss Pooh
And I miss you
Yeah
Like a table without a chair
And I miss you
Yeah
Death is so unfair
The anxiety inside
Is way too much to hide
The pain is real
Despair is what I feel
I’m told to move on
But how do you that with a broken heart
Girl without you yeah
Is like a car that just won’t start
Being without you
Is like a gas station with no gas
Why did you have to go
When our love was built to last
And I miss you
Yeah
Like Piglet would miss Pooh
And I miss you
Yeah
Like a table without a chair
And I miss you
Yeah
Death is so unfair
And without you
Yeah is like a city with no people
And without you
Yeah is like earth
With no ocean
And I miss you
Yeah
Like Piglet would miss Pooh
And I miss you
Yeah
Like a table without a chair
And I miss you
Yeah
Death is so unfair
And I miss you
Yeah
Like Piglet would miss Pooh
And I miss you
Yeah
Like a table without a chair
And I miss you
Yeah
Death is so unfair
