About

The realm of fairy-story is wide and deep and high and filled with many things; all manner of beasts and birds are found there; shoreless seas and stars uncounted; beauty that is an enchantment and an ever-present peril; both joy and sorrow as sharp as swords. In that realm a man may, perhaps, count himself fortunate to have wandered, but its very richness and strangeness tie the tongue of a traveller who would report them. ~J. R. R. Tolkien

-About the blog-

  I started this blog with the aim of developing as a writer/journalist. It's a place for me to learn about writing articles, reviews, stories, the occasional poem, or merely captions for my photography. ;) My hope is that it will be a helpful source to turn to when looking for something interesting to read, or for something new to read, if you’re like me and you race through books so fast that you constantly need new ones. 

            Here are a few posts to get you started!
            Book Review: The Lord of the Rings, by J. R. R. Tolkien
            Article: Of Light and Darkness
            Reflections: Rain and Responsibility
            Story: The Teapot

    “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” ~Philippians 4:8

-About me-

Maria. 17. A Christian saved by grace. An ENFJ. The oldest sister to nine. A home-schooled high-school student. A writer. A photographer. An artist. A bookworm. A crocheter. An avid Tolkien fan. 

    I am a storyteller, both on stage through story performance and on paper through written stories. I have a love for analyzing issues and developing them on stage through speech performance and on paper through written articles. I am striving to improve at both through publishing online by way of my blog. My hope is to glorify God and bring His joy to others in all that I think, do, say, and write.
