The Little Writer's Group

Writing Adventures

Hello writers, thank you a thousand for joining and making the Little Writer's Group possible! Have a seat, grab a coffee, Boba, pop, tea, orangeade, or hot chocolate, and make yourselves comfortable. Hey @Handcuffs_and_Iguana, I made a mango lassi for the first time last week and it was delicious!

In our very first week of The Little Writer's Group we will be getting to know a little bit about one another's writing adventures. I will ask four questions and everyone will give their answers. If anyone has extra questions, don't hesitate to ask them. This will be a great way to learn something new from everyone and I hope we will all have a wonderful time at the Little Writer's Group first discussion! 

When did you start writing? The first book I've ever written was for a school  project in first grade but it wasn't until I turned eight when I truly started writing. I wrote picture books about a girl named Lila who had sleepovers and playdates with her friends. I've loved books ever since I learned how to read books such as Lord of the Rings and Narnia and as I grew older the books I enjoyed writing soon evolved from children books to novels for older kids to what I write now. The first novella I've ever written was about a boy and girl who were summoned to candy land by a queen who was in trouble. I was eleven when I wrote this hoping to write an original story about candyland. Less than halfway through the book, I realized how terrible it was and threw all my work into the recycling which I regret doing as it would have been great to read and laugh at. Then I started writing a story about a princess who set off on a quest with two of her personal maids and two guys they met along the way. I changed the story quite a lot before posting it on Wattpad only to unpublish it because I found the plot poorly thought out. Having learnt from my previous mistake, I set this story aside for later as I work on another book. My writing knowledge has improved a lot over the years and I would love to share everything I know in later chapters.

What made you want to write? As I've mentioned in my first answer, I've always loved books and it was the fantasy books that got me into writing my own novels. My imagination has always been blooming with new worlds and stories. I've always thought, 'if I can't physically enter my imaginary fantasy world, then I'll have to write about it and share it with others who can enter by reading. Writing is the only way I can bring my characters and the scenarios swarming in my head to life.

What is your favourite thing to write about? Fantasy. Ever since I was introduced to fantasy books I have loved nothing better than to think up crazy stories set in magical worlds. I love making fantasy maps, creating creatures, and inventing ideas no has ever thought up. Writing fantasy is my favourite way of escaping the fast paced, stressful world. I also enjoy a little futuristic style which is what my next book will be so if you're into supernatural dystopian books, keep an eye out for a new story on my profile.

What is your writing goal? Whether you write for self entertainment or the dream of becoming a published author, everyone has their own writing goals. My goal is to write a well written, captivating book and have it sold all over the world. Can you imagine readers writing fanfics about your book and obsessing over your characters? I would be so excited to get at least one of my stories published even if it gifted only a small crowd with its enchantments.

Thank you for attending the first week of The Little Writer's Group! I hope you had as much fun as I did.

Question of the week: What do you struggle with when writing? (This will be a topic for another week)
