Hi! I’m an author from upstate NY. I’ve been creative writing since the age of thirteen, starting off with fanfics and similar things, but later branching out into non-fic and romance/fantasy novellas in my adult years. I still struggle with writing full size novels, so novellas are my best bet for now.
I finally decided to create my own website, because I know WattPad is viewed differently now than it was when I first joined, and I didn’t want to be discredited, simply because I posted there. Medium was an option, but I realized that having my own site with my own works. I’m slowly pulling from word, google docs and wattpad to add here, so keep checking back for more content! My socials and everything else I do is in my “links” tab, so I could do away with linktree as well haha. Updating because I decided to continue posting on WattPad and started posting on Medium for maximum exposure.
More about me, I’m 38 years old, but I’m a total child at heart. I have two teenage children who both refer to me as the “cool mom”. We game together, we share our stories with each other, they show me their art. We are a creative bunch!
As for other things I do, I create music as well, under the name Light Mari (but used to be LightningSFM), though I’m not great at it. I take from several different genres, but it never quite sounds “radio ready”, so honestly, my main focus is my writing, while music is just for me to jam to. I also make art, but not traditionally. I make screenshot edits from video games and occasionally edit photographs. I can’t draw a straight line to save my life, so traditional art is out of the question haha.
I have been recognized for both my writing and my edits, but never for my music, really. So, my social media bios say I’m “award recognized” in writing and art, due to winning contests with my respective submissions.
I do thank you for coming here, being a part of my writing journey. It means a lot to me. Let’s see where we go from here! <3
Much love to all of you,
Lauren
