I see Avery and wince sitting up.

Avery gets a pained look on his face as he looks between the women and me, his hands sweating next to him.

He pulls himself away and runs to me, gently helping me stand. His hand goes to my cheeks sliding to my shoulders. “Are you ok? Sorry Stupid question I just.”He stammers and I smile up at him and blush slightly still in extreme pain.

I stand up and lean on Avery, losing feeling in my left side. I feel his left arm wrap around me, stabilizing me.

Book-Bloodline

This part was probably one of the hardest parts to write for me, just because it's more on the worry and romance side, but I still love how it turned out.

I sit down at my desk and open my journal, letting out a heavy sigh. The moment my fingers touch the pages, my chest tightens—like my heart is being squeezed under the weight of everything I remember from that day. My hands hover over the paper. The words don’t come at first. It’s like the memories are stuck behind a wall of fear I still haven’t learned to climb.

Journal Entry #114 — December 11, 2025

Just a snippet of my book I'm working on "Bloodline."

It was something that took me a while to write because I really wanted readers to feel it, not just read it.

This is the cover to my 1st book Bloodline.

I created it myself, and it's inspired by the contents in my book.

Hi, I’m Chasity Hersom.

I’m 18, and I’m currently writing my first books—something I never thought I’d actually have the courage to do.

This blog, Chasity Hersom Writes, is my journey. Not the polished, perfect version—but the real one. The late nights, the unfinished chapters, the moments where I question everything, and the moments where I fall in love with my stories all over again.

Right now, I’m working on two projects.

The first is Bloodline, a story inspired by me and my family, set in a zombie apocalypse. I’m close to finishing it, which honestly feels unreal.

The second is Colored 7, about a group of kids discovering their powers—and themselves—while trying to save others. This one is still growing, just like me as a writer.

This blog is my story before the story.

And if you’re here early, you’re watching me become the author I want to be.
