Returning to my Bluebeard retelling after a few days off. I’ve researched this fairy tale online but was delighted to find this book at a local store. Happy writing, friends!

I love this quote by Isabel Allende. The first time I read one of her books was in grade 10. We read The House of the Spirits. I remember marvelling over how she wove in fantastical elements into her story so seamlessly it felt like they should be there :) Happy writing, friends. #writerslifestyle #canadianwriter #yawritersofinstagram #igwritingcommunity #writerslife #quotes #isabelallende #isabelallendebooks #inspiration #magicalrealism #thehouseofthespirits #writers #canadianwriters #igwriters #igwritersclub #writing #writinglife #dream #create

Back in my hometown for a few days visiting my grandparents. The natural beauty of this little town always astounds me. I should remember, haha, but it’s different when you return to your hometown as an adult. #writerslifestyle #canadianwriter #yawritersofinstagram #igwritingcommunity #writers #writerslife #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #writer #writinginspiration #novascotia #yarmouth #canada #yarmouthns #nature #ocean #igwriters #igwritersclub #oceanscape #sealife #seatown

Last June, I wrote a YA historical novella set during the 1877 Great Saint John Fire. It was amazing to learn more about the history of the city. I love Saint John 🌊 I submitted this story to @formacbooks Write to Win! competition, and am pleased to share I won 2nd place. Happy writing, friends. Keep submitting your stories or poems. You never know what will happen ☺️❤️ #writerscommunity #writerslife #writingcommunity #igwritersclub #amwriting #writingcontest #writetowin #formacbooks #formacpublishing #canadianwriters #cdnwriters #writersofinstagram #writerslifestyle #yawriters #yawritersofinstagram #contests #igwriters #igwritersclub #saintjohnnb #saintjohnfire #greatsaintjohnfire #canada

Stories are constantly shifting and growing ✨🌊 I’m working on my Bluebeard retelling while I wait for CP’ feedback on The Lost Sages. It’s been wonderful to dive into a new story world.

Enjoying this upcoming YA novel so much by @danielleljensen 🌊❤️ I’m a big fan of pirates and seafaring fantasy 😍 Thanks @netgalley for the ARC! Here is the summary from Google Books: Piracy, blackmail, and meddling gods meet in Dark Shores, a thrilling first novel in a fast-paced new YA fantasy series by USA Today bestselling author Danielle L. Jensen. A PIRATE WITH A WILL OF IRON Teriana is the second mate of the Quincense, a ship beholden to the Goddess of the Seas. Her people are born of the waves, and they alone know how to cross the impassable oceans between East and West. A SOLDIER WITH A SECRET Marcus is the commander of the Thirty-Seventh, the notorious legion that has led the Celendor Empire to conquer the entire East. The legion is his only family, and even they don’t know the secret he’s been hiding since childhood. A DANGEROUS QUEST When a power-hungry ruler captures Teriana’s crew and threatens to reveal Marcus’s secret unless they help him conquer the unknown West, the two are forced into an unlikely--and unwilling--alliance. They unite for the sake of their families, but both must decide how far they are willing to go, and how much they are willing to sacrifice. #writing #canadianwriters #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writingtips #booklover #books #bookstagram #bookshelf #book #coverlove #danielleljensen #darkshores #yafantasy #upcomingreleases #yawriters #yawritersofinstagram

Throwback to six years ago when I lived in Nottingham, England for five months. This exchange changed my life for the better and I met some wonderful people abroad. Sometimes things happen in life and your course is altered forever. This experience was one of those times. This building is Wollaton Hall aka Batman’s mansion 😉 #writing #canadianwriters #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writingtips #writers #write #writerslife #yawriters #yawritersofinstagram #travel #travelabroad #studentexchange #nottingham #nottinghamengland #england #wollatonhall #beauty #experience #dream #inspire
