Go Big or Go Home

I always think like this, caught up in how every hobby, every moment, every hair on my head has to to tell a story. I get so caught up in thinking this that I forget something fundamental: stories are told through moments.

The value of the best literary classics is not purely within the overarching tale (the princess and prince find love, a child starts from nothing but achieves grand dreams). Rather, the best of the best use every word at their disposal to convey deeper ideas.

I am happiest laying in the mud at the bank of a creek. I am happiest playing tug-of-war with my dog or singing bad karaoke with my sister.

The moments tell the story. The beginning and end are just a summary.

And if the summary were the best part, no one would ever pick up the book.

Stories Are In Everything

Your writing journey is one, too.

Hi there! My name is Myah LaClaire, and I am an aspiring author who crafts stories that will whisk you away to other worlds while remaining fundamentally human -- connecting the extraordinary to the everyday.

It's always tragic to remember that your favorite story is just a myth. Here, though, they are as real as the stars. Whether it is your own or one you're writing, fantasy or coming-of-age, comedy or tragedy, it is worth telling. The choices we and our characters make daily define those stories, and each one may lead you down a different path than you thought.

If you are like me and always choose against your art, we live in the same world. It is never to late to change that.

And if you're worried there's too much going on, wondering if this is truly the right moment to start?

Don't worry. There is never a wrong one.
