Biography
I have known for years I wanted to be a writer of fiction and I came to this realization from reading. I believe you can't be an effective writer if you are not a reader, that to be able to tell stories you need to have read and lived through other tales.
I understand the struggle of trying to get an idea in your head into words for your audience and I know how to explain that image and story in such a way that your readers see and live it too. Words are a power that can take people on a journey and books are a way to guide those venturing soles.
I as a writer live to give readers a thousand other lives, fictional creatures a peak into our world. To put a blur on our reality and the next is what I do, leaving all fictional and real questioning where the true realm lies.

How I'd describe my personality in two sentences
Independence does not mean you can't work with others. Obstacles don't mean the end of the road as creativity always finds a way through.
How I'd describe my approach to my work
Scribble it out on paper first, as my mind thinks up ideas
Speak to myself until the ideas make sense and flow together
Write up a brief flow chart of what I want to do
Write first draft
Why should you choose me for your project
Writing is an art form where mistakes are not part of the overall picture. It takes time and patience and for some that can be stressful and demotivating.
I do not get stressed while writing.
I see the story in my mind's eye and translate into a form that the readers can experience for themselves. The thing to understand about writing is that it is a language and most people struggle to fully translate their thoughts into the exact manner in which they want the reader to view their story.
I can be your translator, I am able to take the story you have in your head, but can't quite put into words and make a piece that showcases everything you have imagined for your characters in a way that your audience will love.

Mirror lie
What I see and what you see is different. We may be looking at the same mirror but the way I see myself is different to the way you see me. Mirrors lie, they are inverted so you never truly see yourself, they are a reflection so you never truly view yourself, they are heated sand turned reflective glass, they are a façade. Looking into the mirror I see a little girl, tucked away between bookcases, curled into a ball, holding a teddy. Her hair is short and unkept, her form is slender and weak, too many days of starvation and malnourishment making her appear to be more bone than muscle....
