I hope everyone had a great New Year! It’s crazy to think that it is 2023! I hope you all will be working on their New Year’s resolutions. 😊
I have realized that I never really introduced myself when I first started my author blog! So, I wanted to change that. I have Arcadian Divinity releasing this year, while Ethereal Imprints came out in May of 2022. I also have many other novels in the works!
My name is Elizabeth Wittekind, and I reside in North Carolina. I have always loved entertainment in general, from the time I was a child. From Disney movies when I was little, to Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings when I was older, I have always been drawn to imaginative genres. I have always had a creative side, and I feel like my creativity has gotten better as I have gotten older.
My imagination began when I was small. I clearly remember elementary school. The teacher would have various creative writing prompts that would begin a scenario that would end with a ‘what happens next?’ vibe to them. It would be my job to write a story based on the prompt. I always loved those assignments. I will always remember a writing prompt from 4th grade. It was a prompt that started with ‘What is behind a big, red curtain?’ I came up with the story, and then afterward all the students had to read what we came up with to the class. I wrote a story about how there was a big tunnel and a little tunnel behind the curtain, and behind that was a T-Rex! I don’t remember the grade that I got on the assignment, but it was entertaining for the rest of my class to hear! 😊 I was around nine to ten years old at the time and had just gotten into Jurassic Park and Lord of the Rings.
Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park… I typically gravitate toward genres that sound out of the ordinary, and maybe a little bit peculiar. 😊
I have always enjoyed entertainment and being creative. I think creativity is now just a part of who I am. I think my imagination is what made me want to become an author, since I had, and still have, a bunch of different ideas in my head. I began writing when I was sixteen, but didn’t really think about becoming a published author until 2020, after I wrote Ethereal Imprints. I am working on several other novels, all in various stages, and will be releasing them over the next few years!
I hope you all have enjoyed this blog post and have a great start to 2023! I will be writing again very soon!
Very nice post, Elizabeth. I learned some things about you that I didn’t know. It sounds like you have always been creative and imaginative. Good for you!
