    Choosing today!

    You have a choice everyday, do you choose to be the best version of you, do you choose to become your own person, make your own future with you as the main person in the story or do you choose to repeat patterns from the past, patterns made by someone else. What do you choose?

    I had it, like you for a long time and was convinced, that I could not call myself a writer without having published something. Few years ago, I began going to archery training and I love it, enjoy it and I do my best every time I go shooting. Sometimes I shoot like a pro and other times I am...

    Why do we read and write fantasy?

    I read books in many different genres and I do so depending on my mood and what I want to experience or feel at that given moment. But also regarding fantasy, sometimes I read it to escape the real world and sometimes I want to experience something or learn or even be inspired, depending on...

    Parents in young adult fantasy?

    My initial thought was, if the parents know the sister is missing you can give the other girl freedom by making the parents so occupied in the grief and worry that they overlook what is going on with the 2nd girl, not intentionally, but as part of the emotional distress they are in.
