I finally got up the courage to write my first book.

I’m Quezia, I'm 18 years old, and I’m a Brazilian girl. I started reading books regularly when I was 12, and as a reader, and a kid, I had this huge imagination, thus when I was 13 I started to have the desire to write a story that was only mine. But, unfortunately for me, I believed that I was not prepared enough to write a story, that I needed experience, and that I needed to be older to write my stories. I kept that thought for a long time. I think deep down in my heart, I was afraid of being a terrible writer. Honestly, I still have this fear.

Nonetheless, a few months ago, I decided to start my book. I would like to say that I am a really good writer, or that I ever consider myself a writer, but it would be a complete lie. I am still learning to write, I am still learning how to take my ideas out of my brain, and I am still learning how to put these ideas in a paper.

So, if someone is wondering “why write in English? Why not write in Portuguese?” This question is really easy, I’m learning English. I predominantly learned English with books. I have read a lot of books in English. Not only that, but I still read books in English. But, when the desire to write resurfaced, I decided to interconnect these two projects. To be fair, I am not saying that I am an Oscar Wilde, or a Scott Fitzgerald. Because English is not my first language, so I will make mistakes, a lot, just like I probably will do in this text right now. But I still will try to do a good job.

Therefore, you, the human being that is reading it right now, can join me in this journey that will be writing my first book. Therewith, I will post the book that I am writing (The Ocean Between The Sky) here chapter by chapter.
