Hi Ella! Nice to meet you!
Thanks, I like my name too, lol.
What genres do I do? Hmm…I prefer fantasy, I guess I like the whole worldbuilding process, crafting its history, creatures, languages, and stuff, but I love writing a good ole western too!
Oooo, you write thrillers and suspense! I’ve never written one, but I’ve always wanted to. XD
If you don’t mind my asking, what’s your current WIP, and what genre did you choose to write it in?
Haha!!
Ooo, I love fantasy too!! I’m writing a WIP about a girl who’s trying to save her sister from a dangerous engagement which will ruin her, as well as trying to survive in a hostile world. It’s called As Dark As Mist And Shadow.
Westerns! Have you ever seen True Grit (the movie)? It’s really good.
My current WIP is a dystopian/paranormal book called Spirals. It’s about a girl who lives with a stray dog in a seemingly haunted cabin in the Montana wilderness during the apocalypse. 😃
You can read the synopsis on my profile. 🙂
“As Dark As Mist And Shadow…” I love that title!! The story sounds interesting too!
I’ve watched the 1969 version of True Grit, but I have yet to watch the newest version. 🙂
Both of your books sound super interesting! I read you’re synopsis on Spirals, and you have officially piqued my interest!!
Good luck with your writing, and may your laptop never die!
