Compulsory introductory post!

Any time I've ever started a blog, this is the worst part. I have a beauty/lifestyle blog and a parenting blog alongside this and introductions are horrible. But it must be done...

One thing a lot of people don't know about me is that I've always wanted to do creative writing well. Everyone knows how obsessed I am with reading, but I haven't really talked about how much I want to create that perfect story on my own. I've tried and failed many times but recently, after overcoming a few hurdles in my everyday life, I figured now is as good a time as ever to pick up where I left off.

I had a dream one night, it felt like the perfect scene in the middle of some sort of fantasy novel involving water fairies, mermaids, that sort of thing. I've been desperate to get it down on paper or in text format but it's just never happened. As soon as I try it just flops. So I've started creative writing exercises. Thanks to the wonder that is Pinterest, I have found a myriad of creative writing exercises and pages full of writing prompts so some practise is in order. 

I don't really know the point of this blog other than somewhere nice and neat to keep all my exercises and practise writing. Maybe I'll get some constructive criticism on the way. There'll also be some reviews on books I've read and have been reading.
