“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.”

Welcome!

I’m absolutely thrilled that you took the time to explore my blog! My name is Ellie Hall, and I am an aspiring author from North Carolina. Writing has been my passion for as long as I can remember, beginning with short stories and fan fiction, and now venturing into the exciting world of novels. I genuinely believe that I will publish my stories soon and share them with everyone!

That’s where you come in! In this blog, I’m excited to share excerpts and chapters from my stories, inviting your feedback to help make them even better. I’ll also include engaging content like character profiles, polls and surveys, writing prompts, book reviews, and so much more! I can’t wait to hear all of your brilliant ideas! Happy writing!
