Shay

I am a writer who lives for a bit of magic. Young Adult Fantasy. I’m a lover of elephants, makeup, the Oxford Comma, and weird gifs.

@Tales_Levenia @Reveal_House That could definitely be beneficial, thank you for sharing!

Ok #WritingCommunity, serious question. What kind of support do you wish you could have as a writer? On a personal level, general level, etc. Is there anything at all you feel like is lacking for you in your writing journey?

@louzfrankie Do you want someone to give you feedback on your novel, or more of a friend that you can just talk to about your novel? (Vent, celebrate, etc.)

[Shay @magicinthepages]

😍😍😍😍😍

Would anyone be interested in a free 10 day writing challenge?

Weird dream of the week:

I wore my wedding dress and rode my motorcycle to be Melissa McCarthy’s guest at the Oscars.

#TheMerryWriter D10:
I actually never ask librarians for recommendations. I think I stopped because either they always recommended things I had already read or I knew more about new arrivals than they did. Nothing against librarians whatsoever, I just always read a lot! #writing

@kristen_kieffer A5: My short term goal is to write something every single day. It doesn’t matter how much or what it is, but I have to get words out of my head and onto paper every day. Consistency brings habits and success!! ✨✨✨

@kristen_kieffer A4: Consistency! Seriously, physically schedule out time every single day to write something.

My new favorite is to start my writing time with a meditation. It helps me feel calm, centered and creative. So cool!

@kristen_kieffer A3: I want to make other people feel the same magic I felt growing up reading books. I also want to feel that magic myself as I create my stories, and feel it on a regular basis. Basically all the magic for everyone! ✨✨✨

@kristen_kieffer A2: I can’t control who will want to publish or read my books. But I will write full time, I will consistently put my writing out there, and I will use my words to enhance the quality of people’s lives. 💕

@kristen_kieffer A1: I would spend quality time in my calm, inspired, creative space every day! I just want to be able to write without any restrictions or pressures or judgments, just me and the worlds in my head. Bliss! 😊

Download: It’s not weak to do things differently than others. It takes strength to recognize and act on what serves tour highest good. 💕

#TheMerryWriter day 2: I was really young when I got my first library card, probably 6ish, or when the minimum age was. I always checked out as many books as they would let me and we made weekly trips to the library. I’ve seriously loved books my whole life. #WritingCommunity

Day 1 (catch up): Hello friends! I’m Shay, and I write YA Fantasy. Nighttime is my favorite time of day, the elephant is my favorite animal, and I recently discovered the beauty of Avatar: The Last Airbender. (Yes, at 29 years old...) 😆✨🤷🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️😜 #TheMerryWriter #WritingCommunity

@JanealFalor Right?! Sometimes for me it’s finals, sometimes I just forgot I was in a math class, and sometimes I forget I was enrolled in school at all. 🤣

[Shay @magicinthepages]

Does anyone else have dreams where you’re back in school, but you forgot, and it’s almost time for finals and you realize you never went to class all semester so you’re going to fail?
