Author bio

I'm just a writer with writer's block and unfinished stories (and it sucks). I write to escape my everyday life just for a few moments and be somewhere else, a place made by my own hands. The stories I write, whether it's a book or a short story, comes from my heart. I pour every bit of emotion I can into the words I write and if it's not perfect enough for me, I start over. It's too hard for me to put myself out there out of fear of rejection or humiliation but it's easier under a fake name. I hope that whoever follows me truly enjoys the stories that came from the corners of my mind. I truly hope they don't disappoint.
