✨About✨

I’m Michelle. I’m a short story writer who holds a Bachelor’s degree in creative writing.

I teach the foundations of creative fiction writing to writers just starting out, looking to get published, or somewhere in between. I’m bringing my teaching practice online so I can reach more writers just like you, and we can all grow our craft together.

Plus, you won’t need to sit through four years of school and go into student debt just to be able to write a decent story if you stick around here.

I actually like this video! Next time you should make a video based off personality types of charecters because I think this video is like the basics like the roles people would have in a story I wanna know which charecters would fit into which situations know what I mean? Like for example I can’t really tell if an energetic charecter would fit in a horror story because they get rid of that scary element Yknow? Anyways all in all that was a nice video!
