• By Carissa Broadbent You know a book is good when you start underlying full sentences on the prologue. This book, as every other that she writes, breaks your souls, chews you up and leaves you fraying. They are not a light reading. In times of great darkness, humans crawl to light like flies to the…

  • The time I lost my mind

    Woke up again to those damn green eyes. Like poison ivy suffocating me, touching me everywhere. It is not the first time this has happened. While playing it cool on the outside, my mind is constantly pulled to those jade whispering eyes, like a scratched 80s vinyl record. I am not even sure when this…

  • Douts?

    I have plenty. Will someone read my book? Will you feel what I feel when I am writing it? Will you welcome my magical world and believe me it exists? Sometimes I doubt myself so much. I have invested so much time, money, me into these short 3 chapters I have on paper. Will it…

My brain is going there, but the details required for it are crushing me. One thing is for real, I am enjoying every second of this creative…

  • We have a title!

    I’ve been struggling with the title for a long time. Until now it was called “book 1″ or ” manuscript 1″. And, to be honest, I did not force it out of me. I believe that everything will come through, that sense of “things will happen when they have to happen” if you work and…

  • And so I chose…

    …Plottr. Not for any particular reason whatsoever. But I like the organisation of it. Creating is chaos, but putting the chaos in paper requires method. Cannot give you all in one go. Need to keep the mistery, need to keep the readers wondering. And for that I require to know it all, how will the…

  • An essay on love

    You have to make peace with the fact that, sometimes, people don’t do it on purpose. They can love you and still hurt you, not because of you or something you did, but because of their nature. And although they can still love you, I wonder if they love you less. If that is the…
