About Me

Created by my amazing sister. 💜

This is really just an extension of my introduction post. But I thought I should tell more about myself (as all the others do). If you're interested to read on.
What do I like and do as a Christian?
Well, for me, it is getting up every morning and reading my bible then praying the specific topics for the day (yes, I organised my prayers so to have focus and something to pray for when I might be out of ideas), plus sometimes praying whatever is on my heart (which is me rambling to God about something for a while.) I go to two different churches (I take turns) and youth group. I try to involve God daily with my life, like praying through things and randomly talking to him. I let His Word effect my thoughts and hopefully will influence my behaviour and my writing more with time. (My thought prompt I like to remember: what would godly things look like in a fantasy setting?) 

I love the bible, I love Christian Pop, I love what it means to be a Christian, I love the fellowship of a real church.
What do I write and why?
You probably notice that in my writing projects that my stories are either fantasy or dystopian. So, yep, that's what I like to write at the moment. I have been thinking about fantasy/science fiction in a contemporary setting and mystery, but we'll see.
Why I do this is easy to explain. Basically, I started having the impulse to write but never really could. Then I could... It changed everything. But somewhere along in the journey, I decided my main purpose to write was to show God. What I mean in saying "show God" is that I wanted to show His character, what a relationship with Him was like. That bloomed into how he saw humans and how we should see ourselves through his eyes rather than our own filter.
With this in mind, I also want to mention the specifics I want to write in my stories: I want to show beauty in brokenness, purity in darkness and worth in worthlessness. Of course in a way that is relatable and real. That it will help my readers in some way in their situations, even if it's just a small encouragement or remind them to love themselves as they are. I think we forget to appreciate how amazing and beautiful we are as humans.
What are my other loves?
The reading part you know but what do I love reading? The obvious ones would be fantasy, dystopian and mystery (because why would I attempt to write them if I hate them?) but I also love reading historical fiction, romance (clean), retellings and, once in a while, contemporary. I'll be lying if I didn't say I like contemporary, it's just that it's not a genre I'll pick up every year. (Hence why has not attempted a normal contemporary story. It doesn't interested me as much as the ones I'm writing now and reading.)
Movies have become a family time or some extra thing to do if I'm really bored. Few of my favourites are Disney animation (I love quite a lot of them), Marvel, Kendrick Brothers movies (not disappointed by them yet) and Once Upon A Time TV series.
I also recently got into reading writer's blogs. I kept finding new ones and I'm like "I have to read all the blog posts!". Especially when I go into the my books/WIPs/my writing projects page. Their stories capture me and I really want to support them in following their journey.
What will Virtual Paper be about?
Like I said in my introduction post, it's my journal and it's going to host my thoughts on whatever I find worth talking about. Like life and what I experienced from it, my writing journey, introductions into my characters, worlds and creatures, Bible stuff (bible verses, inspiration from scriptures), Christian topics (what is my opinion?), writing tips, writing experiences, writing inspiration, writer ramblings, songs and book reviews on my favourites. And maybe responses to blog posts that I can't resist putting my thought onto to. Plus tags! I think covered everything...
