Abby Castle: The Journey of a Fantasy Writer

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog, where I share my journey as an aspiring fantasy author. My pen name is Abby Castle, and I've been using it for over three years now. I'm currently working on a series of novels that are set in the same universe, along with some other projects that I'm excited about. I've been working on this series for a few years now, but I'm still far from the publishing phase.

I've always loved reading and books. They were the only thing that my family ever seemed to know that I loved, so every Christmas and birthday they would get me books as gifts. By the time I turned 21, I had amassed a collection of 301 books, but sadly they got ruined by the rain because of the lack of space at my grandparents' place, where I had to move back to after leaving my ex-boyfriend (more about that on my other blog). My favorite genres are fantasy and horror, and I enjoy immersing myself in different worlds and stories.

I started writing when I was about 9 or 10 years old. I wrote my very first short story for my younger brother on my birth giver's side, and he loved it. As I got older, my love of writing grew and when I entered high school, I began writing fanfiction of my favorite movies and TV shows, exploring all kinds of outcomes for the characters. By the time I reached my 20s, I started writing my own original stories, and that's how my current series was born.

A song for the daughters on reaping day in my main character's village

This or that: Writer's edition

Writing in bed or writing at a desk                   • For me it's writing at a desk, I just feel more productive at a desk rather than in bed and at my "desk" I have more quiet time versus my room at the moment.  Listening to music or writing in silence           • I have to write with music or some type of background noise, the quiet irritates me and makes me feel uncomfortable.  Plotting or Pantsing              • I'm both actually, I plot while I go otherwise my work in progress goes off script if I pre-plot and then I have to scrap my outline.  Killing off characters or writing romantic subplots          • I do both of these to be honest, but I'm more likely to kill off characters than to go through with the romantic subplot.  Publish traditionally or self publish       • I really don't know about this one si...
