Nina M. I had the idea in 2014 when our uni teacher had us brainstorm ideas for a story and I was struggling then. My mind was so addled unlike now when I feel i'm with the flow.
But I wrote it down and had someone look it over and never even went through it.

Fast forward this yr in August, since the story always stayed flickering at the back and I was bored at work. Bought a small laptop to carry in and write in between and just thought CAUGHT. I had the broad plot of what drove the story but I started without thinking of what I had years before. P.s I don't remember a thing from that. I will look at it sometime and see if there's a correlation.
But I know this story has some laughs as is kind of light hearted than its first ever draft.
Nina M. The ideas hit me at random and now its good when I find myself wondering if I can put down that Idea for a shory poem or expand on it for a much longer narrative and go from there.

Otherwise, I just decide to tell a story from the point of view that I mostly overlooked in society and just let my mind find the idea for that type of story.
Nina M. The second book on the Melbourne Girls series.

I've got another tab with the second book on the Shadow Walkers series but that's on the back burner a little. Although that was supposed to be what I published this yr and not Full Circle but, its not ready.
Nina M. Don't write seeking infamy.
That's for me but I feel like, writing should be about telling a story and you improving on your story telling method as you go. Money or anything will find you.
Nina M. I get to experience storylines and lifes I will never live but tell their story and give them a spot in the stands.
Nina M. I read. I put the work on the side and just read something from the sub-genre I'm writing or something completely different but in the vast romance genre. If not. I take a good 2 days of not reading and do things that don't remind me of bookworld and bring up that blocked feeling.
Nina M. I definitely want to get to reading.
Queen move by Kennedy Ryan
In too Deep by J. Daniels.
Anything new by Christina C Jones
Anything by Alexandra Warren
But I'm trying to venture out and try more authors
Nina M. I walk in the livung room and the baby's stomach open, the dogs snout is bloody, it looks at me, then its paw reaches inside the stomach.
Nina M. I read instead. If one side of the road is not open I expand on my readership and keep discovering more about the romance genre.
Nina M. Being able to break the barrier of talking about thinhs people might not talk about or having the power of 'i'm a writer' behind you when you decide to breach some topics, because it helps. Oh it does.
Nina M. If you have the skills and you want to tell a story, go for it because we all tell a story differently.
Nina M. On a novella about two people seperated by events they had no power to change but times defies all odds and get a second chance, will they get back on that horse or has that ship sailed?
Nina M. Sometimes its the good 'ol thinking in the shower but other times I get an idea for a short poetry piece and it stretches and I try and challenge myself by plotting to see of the story can be long enough.
Nina M. I was reading a paranormal book and I had an idea of this couple who have everything but unlike most shifters family something shifts and and makes the dynamics we're used to reading, stlited. It's sad but I wanted to see how a twist would do.
