Preface:
Greetings! Welcome to @pyralissheart, a blog created for my character(s) within a book I have been working on!
Pyralis (Pyr, Greek for "fire") is the name of the main character within said book. In Greek mythology, Pyralis is rooted in the story of a creature that lives in fire and is said to die when away from it. Thus, society now knows this creature to be a Moth.
Pyralis Farinalis ( Meal Moth) -
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Species: Pyralis Farinalis
Moths are known to be drawn to the light, but once at light usually die with the effect of the heat produced. Moths, compared to butterflies, are usually more dull and not as colorful/"beautiful".
A little about me, my book, and my background!
Growing up, I struggled to read and write. I hated school and more so, hated reading with a burning passion. I will even admit that I was illiterate up until 7th grade. This changed once I figured out what fanfiction was.... I have been (kinda) secretly writing stories and one-shots for characters and scenarios I can make up within my mind. Though I only ever posted one story that kinda sorta blew up, and then I abandoned it out of embarrassment, that is when I grew fond of writing.
I moved halfway across my country to a place that had no Wifi and no internet acess and was forced to start my life over in the middle of the woods, I decided to pick up a damn book for the hell of it because why not? I have never been more grateful for a decision that I hated for so long, because within that decision not only did I flourish to love reading I felt like my brain had grown. Reading and English itself has so many ins and outs and no clear solution, its all interperation and how YOU the reader want to see things.
My hopes for this book is to not only show myself my improvment of where I began (Wattpad) but to also show my audience (the reader) these characters I have held onto since my freshman year of highschool.
At this very moment, this book has no name and no set release date. This is a passion project, and I am a student and employed, so updates will be slow and may take a while. Thank you for your patience!
