I started this blog in the hopes to help myself and others in their writer’s journey

Having somebody to write to is essential to understand yourself and your writing because it forces you to explain yourself to another person so they might understand.

I began with that purpose, but I hope that reading about my own struggles will help you understand your own writing better, because ultimately, a Writer’s Journey is a lonely one and I believe writing about it makes it less lonely.

The internet is good like that. A hundred years ago a writer would seek other writers in the cities and bars in the hope to connect and draw inspiration from one another. I wish I could go back to those days but blogging is the next best thing.

I’m not here to give advice, I can only tell you how I do things and I hope that you’ll join me in my Writer’s Journey and perhaps share your own experience.

Of course, if you’re here just to read, you’re welcome too!

Author

I am fiction writer who leans towards fantasy and horror but I like to dabble in other genres as well – whatever flights my fancy.

Sadly, I haven’t grown up in an abusive household, seen war or any other manner of terribleness so I can’t be one of the great authors of our time! But at least I’m what I like to call Passionately Imaginative.

I see beauty in everything and I spend too much time thinking about stories that I’ll never finish.

I’m all about world-building. Putting people in interesting situations and letting the story reveal itself on its own. But mostly it’s never that easy. Being mean to my characters helps but even though I feel bad about it afterwards I can take comfort in that all authors are sadists and liars to some capacity so that makes it alright.

If you’d like you can find me on Twitter or Facebook and we can talk about our various malfunctions.

They Hide

by Stamphers

By the water they live From the darkness they hide From the endless forests, To the misty mountains With bottomless caves And endless deeps
