My name is Shantal. I’m a writer and storyteller in NYC. I’m currently in the early stages of my 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 other things that plague us writers. I made this blog to share my experiences with these struggles, to give insight on what I’ve found works for me and to practice bravery by sharing my work. My goal is to create a space for other writers to find relatability.
