Amy Unearthed

My name is Amy Kirschenmann, and if I had to pick one thing that I couldn't live without, it would be stories.  For as long as I can remember, I've been creating stories of my own one way or another: Barbies, Bratz dolls, playing pretend, and eventually writing.  Now I don't go a day without some sort of story flittering through my brain. 


When I'm struggling to fall asleep at night (and I'm currently a very stressed person, so that's all the time) I create stories.  The next night, I fall right back into it wherever I remember leaving off.  

My dream is to be a bestselling author.  Not because I want to be famous or anything  - I'd rather wear pajama pants and binge Netflix than go to some wild event - but because I have stories to tell, and I want to share them with people.  I don't know.  I just know that I've been inspired by books that I read, by words on a page, and I want to be a part of that too.  So, I've been trying to get my name out there.  That's what this blog is all about. :D 

Get ready for some crazy rants, writing struggles, and maybe even some stories here and there!  And if you're a writer, and want to talk about it with me, that's cool too.  I'm totally up for forging friendships with writers and readers alike!  

Write on! 

Amy

Reacting to My Halloween Writing Prompts!

Image
This is one of my last posts before Halloween, so: Happy Halloween, everyone! I thought it would be fun since I'd been posting a few different Halloween/spooky writing prompts this month to actually use some of them myself and write some fun little stories!  So, without further ado, here are the stories I came up with using a few of the Halloween Prompts I had written in these previous posts.  I only gave myself ten minutes to write per each story.  Click these links to check out all the different prompts! First Prompts .  Second Prompts .    #1 “You’re so chicken.   Nobody’s seen Old Man Jenkins’ ghost in twenty years." “You’re so chicken, Sarah.  Nobody’s seen Old Man Jenkins’ ghost in twenty years,” Hunter taunted.  That was because everyone who’d ever seen the ghost, never lived to tell anybody about it.  It was kind of what the entire legend of the Jenkins’ House was built on.  Dumb teenagers like us thought it w...

Writing Advice From My Favorite Authors

Image
I read a lot of books.  Typically YA, even still to this day.  In high school, I was known for carrying around two things: 1) a notebook with whatever story I was writing at the time 2) a book.  I've always been a fast reader, so I typically finished a book the same day I brought it to school. Which meant I got very familiar with my local libraries.  As a teenager, I super could not afford to buy new books as fast as I read them.  Plus, I don't like buying brand new books unless I really like the author.  Even then, there are still only a few authors whose books I'll buy immediately when they come out rather than wait until they go on sale or until I can find a used copy. DW is honestly the most relatable character ever. These particular authors have taught me many things over the years.  Namely, they're amazing writers and I should be so lucky as to be like any one of them!  I'll provide their website info down below, and you can always...

Halloween Writing Prompts!

It's Spooky Month!  Finally, it's time to bring back the apple cider, corn mazes, pumpkins, sweaters, and costumes!  Yassss!  With October being a fun and spooky month, I decided to try out some different kinds of posts in these upcoming weeks.  Today, for instance, I'll be creating some Halloween writing prompts.  I've seen a lot of different ones online before, but a lot of them are just too vague.  To me, a writing prompt has to give you just enough to get your writing gears turning, but enough freedom to really do whatever you want with it. For example: In a Creative Writing class I took in college, we were given a writing prompt towards Halloween.  The prompt was: Your significant other asks you to become a vampire.  How do you respond? Here's what I came up with: “I’m not budging on this, Colin,” I stated, crossing my arms tightly over my chest.  “I refuse to become a vampire for you.” He stared me down with his penetrating b...
