My Writing Journey
My journey into writing... This is my paper written journey through writing my first novel, about my struggles my victories; my hopes and dreams that linger in my head. I suppose I should start by introducing myself. My name is Mary, I am 20-years-old and I'm normal. Yes, this is my desperate attempt to get you interested and read this page because, as I do consider myself fine financially I would prefer more breathing room and honestly to be able make money off of something I am relatively good at and love.

"I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked.”

Journey into Fantasy
Of all my current series, Araviel, was the most difficult to finally start. Before starting the book I worked tirelessly for three years to create the world, all the species, the religion, and several languages to bring it all to life.

'Wishes Upon the Stars'
I am here to expose my inner and outer most personal experiences in all life through writing my own books. Although unpublished, I do post them all on a free Android app and site called Wattpad. What I'm sharing today is one of my stories called Wishes Upon the Stars. This is on a very high fantastical world where romance entices from four different men in four different but similar timelines. Where my experiences can be found are in the romances from the main character and the four men.

Networking Nightmare II
Jane's first experience of networking had been a nightmare. Stuffed suits shoving floppy business cards into her hand and eyeing her up as their latest prospective client. She still shuddered at the memory.

My Ultimate Goal I'm a multi-genre Indie romance author who's written 13 books under my own name. I previously worked as a ghost writer who put out 37 books in four years. Yes, full-length novels. I'm not plugging myself when I say that, just providing a little background about myself.

In the Name of Art #3
The coffee was good, Harriet had to admit, and Daniel made it well though the conversation left a lot to be desired. He had prattled on for almost three quarters of an hour about the flowers in the park nearby and how he loved that the gardeners there made sure something was in bloom all the year round.

The Worst Type of Writer's Block
I am currently going through what I would class as the worst type of writer’s block. This is when I know exactly what I want to write and I just need to get these points and ideas out of my system but I just don't know how.

Tips to Help Write Realistic Fight Scenes
Fight scenes, in my opinion, are one of the most important parts to any book. It doesn’t have to be flashy or over the top, but it does have to be well written. Why? Because shoddy writing ruins the flow and excitement of it. Here are a few things to remember when writing a fight scene.

My Writing Perspective
Background About Myself I was going to start off saying something along the lines of "I've been writing for as long as I can remember." Nevertheless, it's not an option since I don't really remember when I first started writing and I don't really remember a whole lot in general. All I know is I one day started putting words on paper and it went from there. Every idea I had and every school subject I was given, it was jotted down with a pencil or a pen. A pen being my favorite since it's hard to erase and is more permanent than pencil could ever be.

The First Chapter
My wife and I are a part of a church plant in a small town in my little valley. If anyone knows anything about planting a church, it's that your numbers are small when you start. With small attendance, comes a tendency to know everyone. So, this couple comes for the first time and nothing exceptional happens. I am an introvert (INTJ, if you're interested), and I struggle with anxiety and depression regularly, so there wasn't a chance I was going up to talk to them.
