Because I have a huge imagination and I want to explore it. I love escaping into my own little big world. #pretendpal

I really don't write for anybody. I write the kind of stuff I want to read. #pretendpal!

For Mel, it's writing/drawing fanfics and fanart of herself with fictional characters including her own and her stuffed animals. 🤣 #WritingPrompt!

Mel would love to be with her favorite characters that would understand her middle school struggles and autism. Like Miles Morales, Futaba Sakura, Woo Young Woo, Meilin Lee, Norma Khan, Flint Lockwood, Sam Gardner, possibly dating one of them would be her dream. #LitHodgepodge!

The two stories I'm currently juggling are standalone. #FirstDraftFall

I don't think I have any characters currently that laugh a lot. I can see Natila being giggly though. #AwesomeCharacters!

AlexSJames @authoralexsjames.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Pike and Aleta would invent a time machine to go back to time before aliens ruined their world. Mel would probably build a world where she can interact with all her favorite characters and a building where everyone from her school can come and learn not boring things. #AwesomeCharacters!

In My Babysitter Went Cuckoo-Cuckoo anything with the toddler, from him calling up musicians with chatter telephone to running away and knocking on a neighbor's door because his brother and his friends went crazy during a drinking party. #WritingPrompt!

WONDER WALKERS X HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A FLOWER X MILO IMAGINES THE WORLD Bored by traditional cloud-watching, a girl brings her younger brother outside to see if he can see some funny shapes in the clouds (he's still learning shapes) but then they start seeing stories in the clouds. #dvpit #pb

A car hates the taste of gas, especially the gas it's been tasting, so its driver takes it to different gas stations to find one that tastes good. But, what if there's none that tastes good at all? Does it just need to find tolerable gas? #DVpit #PB

GUSTAVO, THE SHY GHOST X THE INVISIBLE BOY An ostracized black cat lives in a town where everyone fears black cats. He tries to show that he is actually a good luck cat through kindness and love. #DVpit #PB

I'm probably going to have to pitch every hour while I'm at work because I won't be available until like 12-2 o clock pm. Hopefully my naggy ass supervisor doesn't get on my case. I think I'll just use the pitches I used for questpit, maybe alter them a bit.

Eyes That Kiss in the Corners x Your Name is a Song Gluddles finds almost every part of himself ugly. He thinks he's the ugliest monster ever. When his mom tells him that all those things make him beautiful, but doesn't tell him why, Gluddles searches for that answer himself. #DVPit #PB

Well Natila can't wait to grow up so that she can wear real high heel shoes and go to work like Daddy. Mel often can't wait to get home from school so she can do what she wants. imo, they're pretty patient tho. Mel maybe less so in later books when school starts jading her. #AwesomeCharacters!

Basically a reverse of the theme of The Substance movie I just watched is the best I can say, I guess. #DVParty!!

AlexSJames @authoralexsjames.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I have a lot of wells but I guess I'll go with the actual WIP. Mel just entered the hell that is middle school and is already having a bad time one second in. 😂 #WIPSnips!

AlexSJames @authoralexsjames.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I'm just going to go with the last polished line I wrote. It may be this one but I'm not for sure. How does the dark suck Dad in? #WritingPrompt!

When Mom sees Gluddles with his back turned against the mirror, she says, “Woogaboo, you need to look in the mirror so you can make sure you get all your chompers brushed.” #DVParty!!

Gluddles is a monster who believes himself to be the ugliest monster ever. When his mom tells him he is beautiful the way he is, Gluddles decides to discover the reason why. I have more but this is my latest story. #DVParty!!

Finished story but not yet published. Spoilers but whatever. Just ants having fun! :D #WIPSnips!

Mel cannot escape her own emotions and anxiety. Aleta cannot escape her anxiety either especially socially. Pike cannot escape the severe consequences of his actions. #WritingPrompt!

Unfortunately came down with a case of the bad headache like poor Ro did with the flu. Doesn't look like I will get my story done in time for DVPit unless I pay for Alice Mcginty I guess but I'm also stuck on the story and also tired today. Maybe I should go back to Benny and his brother's drinking.

AlexSJames @authoralexsjames.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Right now, I'm focusing on two stories, a picture book and a short story. I need to get them out quickly in time to submit them places. #WeeknightWriters

Mel is only 13 so she hasn't dated anyone yet but she appears to be bisexual if her fictional crushes are anything to go by. #AwesomeCharacters!

AlexSJames @authoralexsjames.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Where are the homschooling stories? Better portrayal of cyberbullying and the struggle to gain internet fame. Actual tolerable teenagers, not very rebellious, have good relationships with their parents. Ocean stories. My stories have the first 3. Idk how tolerable my teens are tho #WritingPrompt!

AlexSJames @authoralexsjames.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Didn't get any requests from PitchDis. Guess, it's time for me to write Kitty Flu and see if I can get any requests with that along with other future projects especially PBs.

AlexSJames @authoralexsjames.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I can see Pike as an explorer or maybe a fighter (I believe he has a gun?) he is based on Spike Spiegel after all! #WritingPrompt!

010

AlexSJames @authoralexsjames.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Most of the stories I have right now don't do that, however stories with larger casts of main characters I imagine would switch POVs like my love triangle story for example focuses on the psychology of both girls. #AwesomeCharacters!

AlexSJames @authoralexsjames.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Depends. People would probably feel happy and warm after meeting Natila. Some would find Mel overdramatic or awkward to talk to. Some would also find Aleta awkward to talk to but approachable. Kathy may be too much for some. And people like Pike they most likely would hate. #AwesomeCharacters!

For those who don't know, she's upset over the fact she destroyed her friend's play-dohs and her friend is angry with her about it. #WIPSnips!

AlexSJames @authoralexsjames.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Aleta definitely has the saddest story with watching her mom die trying to take shelter from the war and her dad die fighting off an alien with inventions. And there's still plenty more to come. One of them being walking in on Pike trying to torture himself to an unusual death #AwesomeCharacters!

A kitten falls ill with a strange disease, the flu! His owner brushes him and makes him special meals and medicine to make him feel better but kitty is not having some of it. Will Kitty get used to them? (Don't really have a name yet). #WritingPrompt!

Mel decides to look up all her fictional crushes after a bad day on apps like Youtube. Yeah, she's not supposed to be watching Persona 5, Mel knows too that's why she covers her eyes for the bad parts. She just stumbled upon it after searching up autistic characters. 😂 #WIPSnips!

Writing toddlers is so fun and cute

AlexSJames @authoralexsjames.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Hmmm. I think this is a tie between Aleta, Mel and Natila lol. Natila becomes a hard vegeterian, hangs out with a bunch of different animals and hosts an animal party for her dog one time and she tries to help keep the peace between them. Maybe I'll give the slight edge to her. #AwesomeCharacters!

AlexSJames @authoralexsjames.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Mel is weak emotionally. She handles them very poorly. But she's strong in empathy even toward her enemies. Natila is strong in kindness but it's also her weakness. When her efforts aren't appreciated, she becomes defensive. Aleta is weak in social skills, strong morally. #AwesomeCharacters!

If Canid doesn't accept poor Butchy boy I don't know what I'm going to do with this short story. It may not be the best fit anywhere else but I could try some emotional magazines I guess.

20 y/o me would be proud that I got a short story submitted. And how much I matured in my writing. She would be disappointed to hear that I still don't have an agent though. Oh she would also like how I'm a lot more thoughtful now. And that's it. Personality's still pretty much the same.
