Writing

In what is beginning to feel like another life-time (15+ years ago) I went through a phase where I did more writing than painting or drawing. While in High School alone I wrote over 100 poems. Ahh. . .teen angst.

I also wrote some short stories I later threw out. Stupid teenager! During those turbulent years I told myself I would write a novel when the time was right. Since then I focused on reading and of course, my art. I lost myself in book after book, knowing one day the time would come to write my own. The time arrived in late April of this year.

In between working on my novel I’ve also been writing short stories. It’s as if the flood gates have opened! Writing is a journey. I have a lot to learn, but hope one day I might call myself an author.

Current Projects:

More than Human - My science fiction novel set in a post-apocalyptic world. Sorry, that's all you are getting for now.

I have also have a new blog recording my efforts, frustrations, and joys (writing, reading and everything in between) at http://amandamakepeace.blogspot.com/.
