VALERIE JACKSON

Hi there reader! I'm PieLord, and I made Work in Progress!My experiences growing up have influenced my writing immensely since I first made these characters, and I kinda like to think of this project as a little diary of what I learned along the way.I've restarted and re-conceptualized this project multiple times from 2013-2019, based on what I've learned from leading other projects.
I'd best describe the tone now something of a cross between Freaks and Geeks, and Lucky Star. Does that make any sense?I really want to thank my friends CommanderCat, Buddy, Octolivvy, archiedoodler, chris and the rest of The Dot CC Crew, for their support and help throughout the years.
I hope you enjoy the time!
