Jasmine Shea Townsend
Biography
Jasmine was born in Toledo, Ohio on 5 July, 1992. She was almost born on the 4th of July, but life isn't always fair.
She received her BA in 2013 from The University of Toledo with a major in creative writing and a minor in Japanese. In 2015, she earned her MA in English literature from The University of Toledo as well.
"Save Now?" won The Mill Magazine's Spring 2014 fiction contest. "The Comet in the Sky," an early excerpt from The Cosmic Adventures of Sophie Zetyld won second place in The Toledo Writers Workshop's 2015 "Find Your Inner Superhero" short story contest.
She currently lives in Ohio with her boyfriend and two mischievous cats, Tantan and Lulu (short for Lucrezia Borgia).
She enjoys ballroom dancing, ballet, video games (especially Soul Calibur, Super Smash Bros., Legend of Zelda, and Splatoon), j-fashion (especially Fairy Kei and Lolita), working out, reading, and, of course, writing.

Decent read, though I would have liked to see this more developed in a longer piece.

The story-telling gets 3.5 stars. I'll admit, I was hooked. The only reason it didn't score higher was because there were times when the author used convenient plot devices, and when characters acted out-of-character in order to move the plot along. However! The writing itself gets 1.5 stars. This story really had a lot of potential. It would have been so much better had there been any sign of editing. There were countless spelling errors and omitted words. There were awkward phrases and too many cliches. There were also too many phrases that needed to be cut down, or cut out completely. For example, I can't count how many times I read, "briefest of moments." So, because I found the story enjoyable enough to read even through the terrible writing, I'll give it 3 stars over all.
