About rachelsparling

I'm a writer working on a manuscript for a novel. I love to write and I've been doing it for 17 years. Through several story ideas I have figured out what works and what doesn't, and I've learned a lot about myself and my writing style. I love to read and escape to many different worlds. I've also learned a lot about good writing and bad writing through both reading a lot and acquiring an education in English literature, and becoming an ESL teacher. I enjoy filming and photographing all sorts of things and putting together short documentaries and videos. I love my camera.

Day 38

Posted on July 18, 2014 by rachelsparling

So I haven’t had much time to write lately. It’s been quite the stressful few weeks with no sign of slowing down. Not much I can do about it either. On another note, my pet project I mentioned in a … Continue reading →

Day 36

Posted on June 30, 2014 by rachelsparling

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last several days of high humidity and high temperatures, it’s that my body gets tired and worn out far too easily. I am definitely feeling exhausted and it won’t matter how productive … Continue reading →
