Hello Twinkletots!

So, this is new… but I just wanted to say Hi to all those who had supported me throughout my journey.

I am also not someone who's good with showing my feelings, so please do allow me some grace if the following letter doesn't have a proper flow or if I don't express myself properly here...

I hope all of you guys are doing well. I hope life is treating you well. If not, do hang in there. There are definitely going to be better days ahead. You are much stronger than you could give credit for. And know that if you need someone in your corner, there's one person here - currently sitting in her spinning chair writing this - who's always rooting for you.

There have been several moments throughout my journey that I just wanted to give up. There were several days this year where the only things that kept me going were the stories in my head... and my uncontrollable urge to pen them on paper - not matter how silly or serious the stories might be.

I started writing because this was the only escape I could find in my life. At one point, writing was the only thing that gave me joy. (I say at one point, but writing has always given me the same joy as it does now.)

The more I write, the more I'm learning about myself as a writer and as a person. The stories that I tell are a part of me. And as such, some of my stories are light, cozy, and funny. But some of my stories are dark, dreary, and will make you feel sad for my characters. But all of those stories are an aspect of me and my emotions.

Either way, I promise to give you more good stories to look forward to as I get better at writing. Hopefully, one day, I can turn out to be the author that you can be proud to call your favorite. And I will strive every day to get to that point.

I also understand that some of these stories I write might or might not be your cup of tea. And that's completely ok. Really! It's ok! It's preferable even. It'd be weird if you liked everything I've done / written. I am writing historical romance, epic fantasy, fantasy romance, sci-fi/dystopian, and paranormal genres. Not all of those genres are everyone's cup of tea. You're not going to hurt my feelings if you say you don't like any of those genres. I promise! Because if you did, that'd mean you're just another version of me - and honestly, I think I'm a bit too boring to have two versions of me in the world lol.

All of that being said, I hope you hang here for a while...

And let me take you for a ride of a lifetime!

Love,
Akira (JJ)
