Well hello there! My name is Tamika! *waves enthusiastically*
I have always loved writing since I was young child. Writing, quite literally, was an escape for me as I grew up. At the same time, I'm also an avid reader and will sometimes spend hours upon hours reading novels and beta reading stories written by younger authors looking to get started in their own adventures. Because I loved reading so much, I eventually ran out of things to read in my local library (I'd exhausted both the child and young adult sections by the time I was 9) and started creating characters and writing stories of my own. The very first story that I wrote was a short story called The Elementalist from which my very first heroine was created: Julianna Dashara.
Since then, I've engrossed myself in not only continuing my writing journey but also creating 3D images to go along with my stories and even a comic series that featured Julie herself; A Rose Among Thorns.
The way I see it, writing isn't just words on a program like Word or even in a notebook. Writing can be in comics and works of art. It's all about using the pictures not only in your head but in your words to get and keep the reader engaged always. =)
