Hey, it's been literal years since I posted one of these.

I know it'll be lost, probably within all the other stories, but I figured I should post this because it contains exciting news!

So, let's start with who I am-because I never formally introduced myself. My name is Amanda, and I go by Amanda Lena when publishing works. No, Lena isn't my last name. It's part of my writer's name, for personal privacy and such. I'm a university student studying History and Education, formally, but possibly changing my major to History and Political Science.

Yes, the girl who wrote literal Minecraft fanfiction is possibly going to law school. That's just as scary of a thought to me as it is to you.

So, along with my name and major, let's talk family life. I have two younger brothers, and my parents are separated so I have two step-brothers on my Dad's side. I'm Italian so there's a lot of family-oriented traits in me, hence why my stories always have family life as a primary theme, like Arie's different family life in Demons We Find and the troubles Logan faces with her family in Exfinity.

Let's discuss the works I've kept up on here.

Demons We Find is a story following a girl named Arie who discovers she has powers, falls in love with BajanCanadian/Mitch, and loses her memory due to some weird disease. If you could see the face I made trying to summarize that, you'd probably be just as mortified and confused. I literally can't explain what the coherent plot of MY OWN STORY is because it's just so random and awkward.

And then, the sequel: The Secrets Buried Within. I remember I had a contest to name this, I think? I'm honestly too lazy to check, but this story is even more confusing to follow and I tried having a plot twist at the end. Ok, let's summarize this one. *deep breath* The Secrets Buried Within follows-

Ok. I had to stop because I opened the story up and all I can say is just who let me write this. This is so awkward, so gross, all the XDs are driving me to throw my laptop in the washing machines... Alright, I need to TRY reading this for a summary so I guess let's continue. Also, only 5 chapters?

Alright, what I'm gathering is that Arie was being tested on and all of the characters develop powers, but they get out of control and they have to fix everything before realizing that Arie is just a reincarnation of her aunt, the person who died in the attack, and everything she lived was dreamt through a coma. Honestly? Aside from the horrific writing, it's a feel-good ending.

Now, onto Exfinity. This story follows Logan, a girl living in the zombie apocalypse while dealing with a half-zombie boyfriend, family problems, and scientists with wrong morals. Now, this story is important becauseeee I'm rewriting it! I can't plug my Wattpad because that's sus, but like, EveningBud my dudes ;) The new plot of Exfinity follows Logan and a few other characters, with a ton of name and character changes and a much better plot. This one also has some symbolism and, frankly, is going to be a lot better.

Now, I guess this is where I end off this update. Thank you to everybody who entertained 13 year old me while I was exploring creative writing for the first time. I honestly hate all my work from here, hence, why like 75% of it is deleted, but you can see what little I did leave up.

Thanks guys, for everything.
