Name: Charlene
Age: 18
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.
