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 7

Posted on December 9, 2013 by rachelsparling

Another night of writing done. Unexpected writing actually. I’d had no real intentions of writing today. It was too busy, too many responsibilities, and too many last minute plans to work around. I expected to have absolutely no time and … Continue reading →
