About Me
Hello, loves! My name is Yashvi Shah and I’m 20 years old. I’m from India and have been living in Canada for a decade and half. I’m currently a university student!
Writing Life
I’ve loved reading and writing for as long as I could remember. I haven’t read a lot of works but I try to read whenever I can! My best friend introduced me to Wattpad—a global reading and writing platform that’s beyond 1D fan-fictions—in 2016. That’s when my life changed forever.
I discovered a side of me that I never new existed, and before I knew it, I began my writing journey. I started off with a fan-fiction book titled Weeping Angel, which was inspired by the Doctor Who episode of weeping angels and a creepypasta story. I don’t watch Doctor Who, but the whole concept of these creatures intrigued me. I edited this book three times, with the third draft being the one I’m most proud of because the previous too were incredibly cringe and filled with plot holes. In the third draft, I’ve changed the title to Weeping Angel: Malvada. Although I think it deserves a fourth round of editing because there will be second book.
I’ve also tried my hand at romance/YA/teen fiction and science fiction, but like everything, they too deserve a few rounds of editing and polishing. Besides that, I’ve written a few short stories and poetry over the years. I’ve completed one poetry book filled with random poems I wrote for fun or for school, and my second poetry book is an anthology that is close to my heart. You can learn more about why I chose to write this book on my Instagram page (scroll down to find my social media accounts!). I will be posting this poetry on Tumblr as well!
In January of 2020, I posted my first blog article on Medium—a popular storytelling platform. I write 2-3 articles per month on average about interesting topics that help others learn and grow. I’ve written ten articles so far, and I’m working on a bunch of more!
Goals and Ambitions
I hope to become a published author one day and be a freelance writer, or work at Wattpad. I want to make a difference in this life, whether it be in my life or other’s lives. I want to be recognized by my work and want to grow and connect with others. I aim to offer relatable content in my writing that comes from my heart so people could know more about me and acknowledge that we’re all a lot similar than we think.
I’m not really sure where life will take me, but I’m sure I’ll have a great journey. Every moment, every day spent is a new learning experience.
