Dipping my toes into writing

Ever since I was five years old, I was always fascinated with creating stories. I would keep a scribbler (journal) and write random short stories in it. Whenever a school project came up, I would try to implement some form of creative writing into it.

My first experience in professional writing started after high school. I was taking an economics major at Saint Mary's University in Halifax and quickly learned that I hated it. So I started exploring various avenues for my future. I eventually entertained the thought of fiction writing based off my past experiences. However, I realized that writing is not a guaranteed source of income. Statistically, the chances of me making it big is unlikely. Regardless, I had nothing else on the horizon, so I started writing.

After pitching various story ideas to friends and family, I committed to a story inspired by my all time favorite video game, Deus Ex. Deus Ex tells a story about technological advancement gone amok, and how human nature can exploit these advancements for personal power.

After years of writing, editing, procrastinating, and more editing, I realized that I might actually have a full fledged novel. Ten years in the making and my first book, The Disciples of Fire, was born. I hired a professional editor to fix all my mistakes, and an illustrator to create my cover, and before I knew it, I was ready to publish.

I published onto Amazon and various other Ebook sites, and two weeks later, here I am talking about my new book. It's been an exciting journey, and I look forward to what the future may hold.
