Going Paperless

Finally a recent piece of writing to share! I've gotten into the swing of a new semester, and I'm going to push myself to write as much as I can! This is "Taste of Fame", a short short story inspired by the short story "Delusions of Stardom" by Anne Frank. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/anna-ellis/support

Here it is! My mom's favorite play! I've been sick all week, but I couldn't wait any longer, so without further ado...

After a short break, I'm back with a new play. Well, new to y'all; I wrote it awhile ago. This is "Dead of Night", or what comes of watching viral videos the night before a new play is due. Big thanks to my friends helping out with this one!

TW: This play contains discussions of rape. Here it is... my magnum opus. Please enjoy "Nevertheless", a play about seventeenth century artist, Artemisia Gentileschi. This play is a social statement and a history lesson because I love to multitask! I hope you find my girl Arty as wonderful and inspiring as I do.

Last time I shared the first play I ever wrote; this time I'm sharing the first one-act play I ever wrote! This play is my baby, and I really hope you enjoy it!

Let's try something brand new! This is "Train of Thought", the first play I ever wrote! It's not my best work,-- in fact, it was kind of unpleasant to hear read aloud-- but it's an important touchstone for my body of work. Big thanks to my friends, Emily, Victoria, and Tiamber, for reading this play for me!

A bildungsroman is a type of story that encompasses a character's life and growth, similar to a coming of age story. "All Eyes" is a bildungsroman I wrote awhile ago about two groups of people separated by insignificant differences and their journey to achieve new unity.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/anna-ellis/support

This is a short story I wrote as a high school freshman! Rereading it has reminded me how far I've come as a writer since I produced this one. And yes, the concept for this story did originate as an alternate universe fanfiction of the anime "Attack on Titan"...

Here is a narrative poem I wrote last fall entitled "Feet"! This one was a lot of fun to write and even more fun to read aloud thanks to a bunch of cool consonance and assonance I threw in.
