Shantal here. I’m a writer and storyteller living in NYC. I’m currently in the early stages of developing my professional writing career, even though I’ve been writing for most of my life. My writer’s journey continues to go through evolutionary stages and like most writers, I’m faced with many obstacles along the way. I’ve struggled with things like writer’s block, plot building and character development, among the many other challenges writers face. I made this blog to share my thoughts on these challenges, provide insight on what I’ve found works for me, and to practice bravery by sharing my work. My goal is to create a place for other writers to find relatability.
