Name: Liliana

Age: 16

Book name (optional): It's in progress but for now I call it the WDS project

Genre and Theme: the genre is Horror and the theme is courage and perseverance.

Favorite Book /Book that inspires you: I grew up watching a lot of supernatural television and movies, mostly centered around death or some undead like creature so that was always the sort of style I gravitated towards. That is why the main character of my story can talk to the dead.

Favorite Writer /Writer that inspires you: Bram stoker and Mary shelly (I like classic literature)

New writer or experienced: I'm fairly new, though this isn't my first story, it is the first one I plan on publishing.

Fun fact about your story: I find it easier to write my character's as I base them off of people I know, and the premonition like night terrors the main character has in the story are based off of my own nightmares.

If you're interested in the WDS project I plan on posting concept art and comic panels on my profile under blogs! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Book name (optional): I'm currently working on a poetry compilation which will be part of a bigger collection. The compilation I'm currently working on is titled "The Start of a Downfall", focusing more on negative psychology of the mind. 


Genre and Topic: The poems within it are typically a bit darker, and more psychologically focused, as they deal with the battles of mental health and first hand accounts of what goes down in a person's head when they suffer from mental illness; things they never quite wanna say out loud. 


Favorite Book /Book that inspires you: One of my favorite books isn't even really a book. It's a Old British Literature Textbook full of old essays, stories, and poems from the 1400s to 1900s and even earlier. 


Favorite Writer /Writer that inspires you: my favorite writers are Edgar Allan Poe, Dorothy Parker, and Virginia Woolf (I love her essays on women's writing). 


New writer or experienced: I've been writing stories for as long as I can remember, but this is my first series I'm actually going to publish. I've been taking writing more seriously these past 4 years. 


Fun fact about your story: Everything I write (as twisted and haunting as it may seem, or even worrying) is a first hand account of how I feel at times, and how I portray the world. Most of my writings can be slightly triggering, so I always warn people before they read them, as the emotions within my writings are raw and real to me, so when I portray then for other people, they can tend to feel worried for my way of thinking. (I promise I'm fine). My blog is 99% my own poetry works, most of which will be in the current compilation.

Book Name: It's very much unfinished and still ongoing, but I've chosen to name it "Fortune's Fortitude Against the Unchanging Universe" or just FF@UU for short :)


Genre and Topic: I'm awful at genre recalling, but I'd say it's Fantasy with a sprinkle of Cosmic Horror in it. It particularly deals with the theme of the indomitable human spirit and how it can rival a God's will.


Favorite Book /Book that inspires you: The Road by Cormac McCarthy and Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White are two books which I absolutely adore, especially with their themes.


Favorite Writer /Writer that inspires you: Cormac McCarthy definitely has had an influence on my writing, as I adore the way he crafts his words in his novels.


New writer or experienced: Not particularly new, but not 'experienced' for publishing. I've been writing stories for a very long time but have decided to focus on it a lot more recently.


Fun fact about your story: I absolutely adore writing about deities and their interactions with man. More particularly playing with the idea of innate determination and willpower that humans have that can rival the Gods themselves. My stories aren't published anywhere, but I drop one occasionally on my blog every half century or so - there's only one there right now completely unrelated to the story I had been talking about earlier :)
