Whether you've stumbled across this blog by accident, been recommended it by a friend or family member, or you already know me and want to check out my blog, welcome! In this post I hope to give a brief outline of who I am and why exactly my blog posts hold some value.
Who Am I, Exactly?
Well, first of all, my name's Alyssa. I'm a writer who's been creating stories since I was 5, and I love to share my writing and my knowledge to the world.
I've been a member of the One Year Adventure Novel curriculum since October 2019.
I'm a personality geek and love seeing how different people act different ways -- this helps me with writing my characters!
I cannot stick to one genre when it comes to writing. Each story idea I have is a new genre, and I love exploring these different worlds of stories.
When I'm not writing, I enjoy doing competitive swimming, graphic design, video editing, podcasting, and digital art!
Why Should You Listen To Me?
I know, I probably just sound like any everyday startup blogger. BUT-- never fear, I will show you why I am not just a newbie blogger! (Am I going to look back at this in a few years and cringe? Probably. Is that fact stopping me from saying this? Absolutely not.)
I've been writing seriously for 3 years and have written 8 completed drafts (4 of which are fully finished novels).
I'm a young writer who has a new perspective on the world of writing.
I write these posts because I want to share with you my thoughts. Your reading and listening is my exact intent.
I do my research. I draw from my own personal experiences. I ask other people what they think about a certain subject. I'll try to get as many different angles as possible and weave them into one post.
We can help each other! I have as many things to learn as you do. You can help me as I travel through my blogging journey.

Finally, I hope that you enjoy reading my posts. I want to enjoy writing them and I want you to love reading them. Even better, I hope that they're able to help you and inspire you in your own writing.
Thank you for reading, and enjoy the blog!
Alyssa S.
