Debut
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to write, to share my stories. Stories of every kind were always fascinating to me and drew me in. I started writing at a young age, age ten, I believe. I remember holding the notebook I got from my grandparents, sitting on the stone steps of their front porch, watching my siblings and cousins run around the yard, and trying to write the story I saw in my mind. Putting the pencil to the page was scary but exciting and as I named my first main protagonist, Chloe, I felt this pull to always keep writing.
I wasn't very good when I was young but I was always eager to learn. I spent the majority of my life putting words on paper. Through middle school and high school, I carried notebooks with me to classes that were specifically for writing. When there was a lull in class or a break, I would pull the notebook out and continue where I left off. Sometime, it wasn't the appropriate time and I would either receive a reprimand or have the notebook taken until the end of class. It's ironic that, instead of crying over my electronics being taken for punishments, I would feel devastated when my mother took away all of my notebooks when I got in trouble.
Yet, I kept writing. Every day through high school and college. Even in college, I would type away on my laptop during classes and wrote the first story I wanted to publish. Of course, someone I knew tore the whole thing to shreds when I asked for feedback and told me I was a terrible writer. I put that story away and I haven't touched it since because of how discouraged I was.
Then, I started The Prophecy of the Twelve and I told myself that I would have it published by the end of 2025. I worked tirelessly on it, up all night just to finish chapters or revise sentences. I was committed. It was all I saw in my waking hours and began to leak its way into my dreams. I finally finished it and gave it to my test readers. I told them to tear it to pieces because I wanted to make it the best story I could and they sparred me no insult.
Finally, it was ready. I am so excited to share this story with everyone. Whether you like it or hate it, I am grateful that you read it. My debut story releases on the 21st of November and I couldn't be happier.
