Hi, I’m Ciara! Welcome to my creative writing hub. Writing a book has been a life long goal of mine and I’ve decided to bring you along on this journey with me. Having been a part of writing groups in the past taught me the value of feedback and how much it contributes to both my improvement and motivation as a writer. Consider this an experiment where I can crowd source feedback while anyone who is eager to read what I’m working on can get a look behind the curtain.
How did this project come to be? Let’s go back to my childhood where my mom introduced me to the most important sub-genre of pop culture: romantic comedies. From renting Legally Blonde on a Friday night to signing out stacks of what used to be referred to as “Chick Lit” when I was probably too young to be consuming such subject matter, those stories shaped not just my passions, but how I view the world.
If you’re reading this, you probably came across a TikTok where I proposed the idea of Blue Jays fan fiction. As an avid romance reader, I’ve been desperately craving a series that highlights all the positive parts about Toronto that have kept me for the past fifteen years, and seeing the city come together during the World Series left me inspired. Though it may not have ended the way the city hoped, my personal super power has always been turning negatives into a positive which is one of my goals for this project.
Most importantly, I’d love your feedback. Please keep in mind while reading that this is a work in progress and not a finished draft. I’ll be posting new chapters on a weekly basis and welcome feedback via email, DMs, or comments at any time.
