Always a spinner of tales, Gabriella Messina’s journey as an author began in the realm of screenwriting. Whether writing fantasy or crime fiction, short stories, or full-length novels, Ms. Messina brings a fresh point of view and a pearl of snarky wisdom to her work, exploring science, justice, faith, and feeling in equal measure.

When not writing, she enjoys indulging in her favorite “guilty pleasures”: coffee and chocolate, watching car racing with her son, and spending too much time looking at music videos online.

If I can, I turn to a different project. Stepping away for a while can help clear your head, allow you to look at the material with fresh eyes.
Sometimes taking the time to recharge by watching a movie or some television helps. Listening to music is often helpful. And, of course, reading. I don't get a lot of time to read, but when I can do it, it is really helpful in getting me to focus on my own writing again.(less)

Really, just try to write, at least once. I never aspired to be a writer growing up, or even as a young adult. I stumbled into it because I had ideas and wanted to try putting them on paper. So if you have an idea for a story, write it out. Who knows what may come of it.
And don't listen to the naysayers... And there are a thousand of them! There is no one way to write, to publish, to succeed. (less)

A Quick Hello (and Where I’ve Been)

Hey everyone,

First off, I’ve missed you. Those of you who’ve been checking the blog these past few weeks probably noticed the silence. No new posts, no updates, no witty observations about the writing life — just an unexpected quiet.

The reason? I’ve been down for the count with an illness that had other plans for my creative energy. Instead of crafting stories and sharing thoughts with you all, I’
