Although those particular works will never see the light of day (nor will I ever confess to writing them in case they happen to surface), they were the early stepping stones of my author career.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Writing is something I always dabbled in, but I never took it seriously until after university. I&#8217;d taken a few creative writing courses, and based on the feedback from my professors, decided that perhaps I may be able to accomplish something in this space.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Immediately, I knew I wanted to write a fantasy novel. I love the genre and it&#8217;s pretty much exclusively what I read.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It took me close to a decade to get to where I am now. From deciding on which story I wanted to tell, to flip-flopping between plotlines, to scrapping countless drafts, to finally writing, editing and publishing, this process has eaten up pretty much my entire 20s. I always thought writing would be the hardest part, but that was very naive thinking on my part.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The journey has been long but it is indeed fruitful. I hope you find my works of interest to you, and that they come to mean as much to you as they do to me.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a self-published Canadian author residing in Toronto, Ontario.
