CURSE: the 200,000 Words of an Angsty Teenager
"On 9/1/2013, I embarked on a journey I thought was going to be short-lived and...mostly for fun. But, this one silly idea became the light and passion of my life. A Fan-Fiction turned novel turned seven book series isn't something that just happens, it is worked on, slaved on, and bled on. Four years I have spent with this one story, this one idea, and it has become such a major part of my life, that I couldn't imagine being without it. It has gained me a following of readers who have connected to the story on a level I didn't think was possible. CURSE is my baby, an accumulation of my thoughts, feelings, and real life struggles turned into a fantasy world filled with complex characters. Now, as a part of the work in progress FATE OF FIRE series, I can't wait to spend many more years writing about this world and these characters with the people who have supported me since the start. Happy Four Year Anniversary to my novel, CURSE! ❤" - Facebook post by Amanda Starks, 2017

Title: "The Sailor's Lament" In the heart of a small coastal town named Port Haven, there lived a weathered sailor named Samuel. His face bore the deep lines of a life spent at sea, and his eyes held the wisdom of someone who had weathered both storm and calm. Samuel's life was a tapestry woven with threads of adventure, heartache, and an undying love for the sea.

People all throughout the world suffer gravely from poverty's global reach. No matter their origin, it deprives everyone of the necessities, harms communities, and ruins dreams. Early age marriage results from poverty.

We are people of words, right? We are writers, creators, artists. And yet somehow, quite often we forget to actually consider the words we use everyday. We are painters who forget to look at the colour on our palate. Colours that have a powerful effect on how we feel.

This is written as a part of Kayleigh’s Get to Know Me series. So, I despise writing about myself (shit, that should have been point number one), and that means this will probably have no polish to it. By the time we get done together, it’s going to resemble regurgitated alphabet soup garnished with hot takes and bad puns. Get ready. But hey, there’s a challenge and a prize at the bottom for anyone who makes it there!

KJ AartilaPublished 9 months ago in WritersWhat is Your Voice?
Detecting Your Accent Despite opinions to the contrary, what constitutes a writer’s “voice” relies on their writing style, technique, vocabulary, and grammatical structure. Detecting a writer’s voice is something that most people do after reading a specific author for a long time. It’s like your relationship with someone that you've become intimately familiar with. Family members, friends, and coworkers are all people we become so familiar with their speech patterns that we instantly know if someone is trying to impersonate them. Or if there is something wrong with them, by the way, they are talking alone.

When attending the Indigenous Writers Gathering at a Tribal and Community College an hour from my house, I noted that a lot of the writers’ work came from serious topic areas. Then there were the fun and funny works as well!

To start off, I'm really happy to have discovered this platform where I can share parts of my life and receive advice without revealing who I am. Being a girl in Iran has led to a lot of problems for me, which is why I often wish I wasn't.

Unlocking My Love Part 3
Welcome back, readers. If you have been following this little three-parter I have created, you know about my first written story and how I strayed from the writer’s path during high school. However, if this is your first time reading this short jaunt down memory lane, I shall direct you to where you can visit previous installments. You can read, or revisit, those crucial points in my writing journey here: Part 1 and Part 2. Would I consider those my first writing piece is a matter of perspectives? Sure, both were written in the form of freelance, but the title of my first official story for eyes beyond my own goes to a piece I wrote for a writing contest.
