How did an author like myself once loathe reading? It’s a strange chapter in my life, but I was able to rebound and learn to adopt the practice back into my writing journey!

Let’s recap January! We delve into my personal goals, travel feats, and books I’ve read. Not only am I writing my novel, but I’m continuously writing my story. How can my story inspire yours, however?

In this week’s Moments to Masterpieces, I travel to Seoul, Korea! This city serves as the most notable source of inspiration in my novel’s worldbuilding. What sorts of opportunities in building my world do I discover here?

Welcome to the new series that I’m calling Moments to Masterpieces! As I travel to new destinations, I hope to weave my new experiences into my journey as an author. My aim for this series is to inspire other fellow authors in honing their craft through similar opportunities to see the world. This week, we feature Manila, Philippines!

Are you approaching 2025 with a plan in hand, or are you ready to dive in and see where creativity takes you? Whether you’re writing a book or composing a song, how you shape your story matters. Do you prefer a structured outline or letting inspiration lead the way? No matter your style, make sure each step brings purpose to your desired ending.
