I'm hoping to add a second major, as creative writing. I feel like just having that degree will maybe help me get the motivation to write more, and maybe give me some sort of credentials.

I'm thinking of minoring in creative writing, for the same reasons^^ If writing is going to be an actual part of school, then it will give me more time to write as well

Exactly. I'm currently minoring in creative writing, but I don't feel like that's enough...I only need to take like 3 classes to fulfill the minor.

Examples: this is part of my pride lore: (more examples in my den)


Xukuthe'l Dyne may not have been the nicest king, but he was definately better than his 'Father', the brutal Lioness known as Ra'ri, who used magic to make Dyne. Dyne preferred not to chose a side in the battle of Good vs. Evil, taking the neutral highground instead. The Quortek Qu'ellar prospered under him, having plenty of food, good training for the young, and plenty of SB in the treasury. Although his cub standards were high like Ra'ri's, he didn't just kill every cub he didn't like, he donated them to The Giving Tree if they were pretty.

The Quortek Qu'ellar saw an influx of Leopard spots on pridemembers, and those that had this mark were given titles. The titles were only a mark of Dyne's favorite breeders, and meant nothing in the ranking and daily life of the pride. The "Qu'essan" and "Valsharess" titled lionesses still hunted, still helped in the raising of the cubs, and were not above any other member except in order of breeding. Life was pretty good, and Dyne told them all he would be around for a long, long time.

I want to ask if this look good and is there anything I need to fix.

Morning Wood approached the grave of Stale Cheetos, the beloved king, the first to establish the pride. He had heard from far and wide about Stale Cheetos. How he hadn't had a heir nor even a queen. Not one single lioness had ever had a cub to nurse in the pride. Instead, all cubs were brought in from other prides. Cared for under his protection and loved just like they were his own children. The king was also very generous. Never stingy with silver beetles and always willing to help out others in need. But there was one thing he knew about the former king. He was never truly happy with himself. Always pushing himself to be a better person, one day at a time.
He had learn from other prides about all sorts of things. Like inbreeding and mutated cubs. An old lioness named Punch in the Stomach spoke about the king to him one afternoon. About how he wasn't flattered being called upon as a runt. His low stats and plain markings were considered a joke. The laughing-stock among prides. But he never lashed out on anyone knowing he was the one setting the example of what a king has to be, what to do, and how to behave. His passion for doing what was right never wavered like donating. Morning Wood interrupted her. "What about the mutated cubs? He knows about them but you never mentioned how he thinks or what he did about that topic." She spoke about how he was very fascinated about that topic because those special lion and lioness had more personality and adventure in their lives. But he was also glad to not have a mutation cause many of them were forced to keep breeding to produce more offspring with their mutation. But he also did admit that he wished he had a mutated lion or lioness within his pride. One mutation that he had his mind set on to achieve was a dwarf. The king's heart melted for anything that was remarkably adorable. But sadly he never obtained one during his lifetime. Morning Wood couldn't help but ask, "Didn't he had any other goals?" The answer was a yes. He did had other goals but didn't get a chance to complete them. But he did complete one that he said he would never break. The main reason why no lion or lioness in this pride has any decorations on them. He believed in natural beauty. He once said to the pride, "The reason why I believe in natural beauty is because you can't improve what has already been achieved. Why should anyone be dolled up to show how beautiful they're when they're already beautiful?" A single tear rolled down her cheek. "It touched my heart when I heard him say that. That man was so kind and loving to everyone."

Okay, can I just comment on 'Stale Cheetos'? xD That's an awesome name

In a couple places, you tend to add periods where there could be commas, so it sounds a bit choppy. For example:
He had learn from other prides about all sorts of things. Like inbreeding and mutated cubs.
Iit would flow a bit better to be:
He had learn from other prides about all sorts of things, like inbreeding and mutated cubs.
Or something like that

Another thing is that you should add new paragraphs whenever there is dialogue, like:
But sadly he never obtained one during his lifetime. Morning Wood couldn't help but ask, "Didn't he had any other goals?" The answer was a yes.
would turn into
But sadly he never obtained one during his lifetime.
Morning Wood couldn't help but ask, "Didn't he had any other goals?" The answer was a yes.

Other than that, looks really great! I love the personality you gave the king, and how you described him :D
