Welcome


Starting up a blog of my own is an idea that I've had at the back of my mind for quite a while now. It was one of my sisters who originally suggested it; she was very optimistic about the idea, saying that by sharing my love of writing with anyone willing to listen, I would have the chance to keep an organized archive of my thoughts whilst being able to talk to (and with) the world at large. Of course, it's taken a long time for me to finally get around to making this blog, but I really feel as though this is a good idea and will be a lot of fun.

My main audience here will likely be fans of the Fanfiction that I write, but I hope that this blog will also attract the attention of other people who are generally interested in literature as a whole. I would like this blog to be a place where I discuss everything from Shakespeare to My Immortal, but even if this just ends up as a sort of personal diary for my thoughts about writing, I'll be satisfied.

To elaborate on what sort of content I hope to post within this blog, I should first explain that this is where I will basically be collecting and organizing my thoughts on writing. I'll be updating about once or twice a week, writing book reviews, analyzing various authors' writing styles (e.g. talking about my opinions on plot twists, literary tricks, choices in characters, etc.), as well as talking about my own writing, or else just discussing why it is that I spend so much time with a pen in hand.

I'm always open to suggestions for new things to talk about on this blog, so please feel free to contact me whenever you feel like it. On the sidebar you will find a section dedicated to the main links of this blog. This should help you to navigate through the information here efficiently.

FAQ



About the Blog:

Q. Why did you decide to make this blog?
A. To talk about writing at length, of course. The Introduction Post should give you more details about it.

Q. Why did you decide to write Fanfiction?
A. I find that Fanfiction an easy way to keep me motivated. Since I'm writing about my favourite Fandoms to a crowd of other dedicated fans, it's surprisingly very easy to keep going. My readers remind me to keep updating, and because fanfiction is anonymous more often than not, I find that readers can be more honest with their opinions or constructive criticism.

Q. Why do you write about Harry Potter?
A. Harry Potter was my favourite book as a kid, so I guess I just never grew out of being a fan of it.

About the Author:

Q. How old are you?
Sixteen, going on Seventeen.

Q. How long have you been writing for?
A. About two years now, if you count it from when I was actually writing every day.
