Collection: 'poetry 2'

Written around March - June 2021, poetry 2 is a collection representing a very particular time in my artistic expression, before I was quite conscious of my direction or aesthetic ideals. Whether juvenile or lyrical, all of it is concerned with the degree of unreality that I felt in my mind at the time. The person who created this brief collection is very much lost to time now - this here is all that remains of them. 

First draft completed: 'Cursed Queen' (2019-20)

[ID: a screenshot of the word count display on Microsoft Word that reads Page 1 of 139 and 105,210 words] The initial draft of my first novel, Cursed Queen, was completed in March 2020 after several months of hard work, including 50,000 words written in November 2019 as my NaNoWriMo 2019 project. Standing at a rather gargantuan 105,000 words total, it has a long editing process ahead of it, but the achievement of completing a full-length novel at age 16/17 is still very meaningful!

Excerpt: 'autonomy' (2019)

Read the first chapter of my 2019 historical fantasy novella 'autonomy', inspired by a school study of George Benard Shaw's Pygmalion and a lifelong love of what lies beneath the surface of artistic expression.
