Bio
My name is Brenda. Writing is one of my greatest joys. Being able to escape into my writing is one of the most calming for me. My father got me involved with storytelling when I was 12 and my love for it has continued into adulthood.

Scrivener
So in this section I will be going more into depth about how you can use the program Scrivener, from Literature & Latte, to create your characters. I would also like to say, any piece I write about Scrivener is mainly how I have used it. There is so much you can do to tailor it to what you want to use it for. All right lets get into it!

Using Scrivener for World Building
This is mainly regarding using Scrivener's "Novel Template" for the science fiction and fantasy genre I have been using Scrivener ( From Literature and Latte) on and off for the last two to three years. I never really dived into it much until a few months ago when I decided I wanted to use it to do world building for my world Draena and the stories that happen in it, most prominent currently is my first novel Battlemage's Choice. I hope to have it completed and self published mid fall/ early winter.

Dad or selfless angel
My stepdad would have to be one of the main selfless people in my life right now. He and I did not have one of the best starts when he started dating my mother. I was a teenager in high school and thought that my mother and I were fine on our own. We didn't need him. My mother and I had a best friends type relationship, we did everything together. So I ended up doing what any rebelling teenager would do, I made life hell for him.

My start into storytelling
When I was about 12 years old, give or take a year, my dad gave me my first glimpse into the world of storytelling and writing. It was one of the greatest things that he has ever done for me, the worlds that I have gotten to know since then have truly been inspiring. My favorite worlds have been Middle Earth and Faerûn. My dad had ended up giving me one of my greatest escapes.

Creating a New Me
2020 was hard on everyone. I want to be optimistic about 2021 by creating a new me. To do this, I am going to get to my goal weight and become more productive on writing. My goal weight is to be 180 lbs from 316 lbs. I will reassess my weight goals at that point to see if I want to be smaller.

Arrest of Serethiel
A gong sounded as two elves in orange and yellow, faces painted in gold tones, opened a set of doors. A dozen elves entered the room. Some wore fine gowns, while others wore sets of leather armor. A large circle of chairs formed around a large magical brazier. A living model of the city of Beradain resided within its confines. It was like seeing the city from they eyes of a bird.
