Hello one and all! Here I will document my thoughts, ideas, and some inspirations I either come up with on my own or find the internet to share as I take the journey to write a novel. This way, hopefully I'll be able to inspire myself to keep at it and not give up! I hope all of you who are on a similar journey feel the same <3
Character Bio time! <3
Name: Elamira “Mira” Starling
Age: 17
Hair: Black
Eyes: Green
Slight figure- very delicate and not too active lifestyle-wise
Afraid of Lightning
Loves books and learning and music
Terrible at dancing, speaking in public, making important decisions, etc.
Because she is very stubborn, Mira often keeps following the path she sets on, even if she knows that it’s taking a turn for the worse.
Everything else should be in the post with the paper sketch of Mira.
If classical music is more your thing when writing, here’s a good one! This is Fly composed and performed by Ludovico Einaudi <3
In this article, Roz Morris discusses the need for simple tools of the writing trade: grammar, grammar, grammar. As writers, grammar should come almost instinctively. Even if it doesn’t, writers should care about the quality of their work just as much as the interest factor of their work.
A quick sketchy-sketch of what I imagine (kinda) my protagonist, Mira, to look like! I’m not really good with the realistic style as I’m actually more familiar with the manga style, but meh, here’s my effort! If you want her bio, read on. If you don’t, well… don’t! <3
Name: Elamira (Mira) Starling

Mira is a very down to earth girl- she has a quick wit and a sharp tongue which strongly contrast with her delicate feelings and strong sense of compassion. She is the descendent of House Starling, much to her ignorance, and a possible candidate for the throne. She is unfamiliar with Tyrria (the kingdom in the other world) as she was raised in our world. A tough cookie, she will go down fighting.
Hello, everyone! Always in search of new inspiring music to get you in the writing mood? Well, here’s one of my personal favorites for getting my mind into a fantastical state. Elizavita was a happenstance find for me- I was just browsing iTunes one day and found her in the singer/songwriter section. I immediately fell in love with her and bought her album. Of course, you’re more than welcome to just go onto youtube and look at her songs- they’re really nice!
She mixes a feel of pop and opera together and her songs are quite whimsical; I always imagine myself being thrown back to the Victorian Period, only with magic and good stuff like that. What do you get from her music? Rather, what are some of YOUR inspirational writing tunes?
I don’t know about you, but this kinda puts a smile on my face C:
Hello, everyone! I don’t know how you guys feel, but I think of the beginning of the writing process as both exciting and intimidating- especially creating a novel! But one thing I can say is that this will definitely be the adventure worth having. I hope those of you who are in the same boat as me are ready to gear up for a crazy ride- we’re going to need to put in a lot of blood sweat and tears. Good luck to one and all! I can’t wait to share my adventure with you.
