As an aspiring author and journalist, I have been taking literary courses to expand my horizon as a writer. Whether that be illustrating from different perspectives, recording naturalistic observations, or analyzing TV shows... I have been growing in various areas, making me the novelist I am today.
The following publication you are about to read contains snippets of my journey (writing assignments, journals, poems, short stories, etc.) and the boundaries I had to cross to become a better storyteller. Every entry will have context for what the assignment is, followed by my submission. The topics will range from depression, addiction, everyday life, fantasy, sentence experimentation, notes from class, and more.
Dive into this book to witness a writer in progress!
We never notice something is missing until it's gone. We never know about the void until we know what was supposed to fill it.
We never know the magnitude of the impact until it's felt. We never have regrets until we make mistakes. We never see rainbows unless there was a storm. We can never make peace without there being a conflict first.
It might all sound bad at first but keep in mind that there's always good where there's bad. There's always truth where there's lies. Theres always life where there's death. And theres always love where there's hate.
Put this all together and you have A Beautiful Mess...
