Hi! My name is Ellie and I’m a 27-year old aspiring fantasy writer. I hail from the mystical lands of Rivendell, located in Middle-Earth, but at the moment, I reside on planet Earth; to be more specific, in Canada.
I enjoy drinking tea, writing, reading, eating popcorn and overindulging in chocolate. I like to listen to music; mostly 80’s, Enya, and the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Whenever I want to be inspired, I listen to Enya, but my favourite song to listen to when I want a kickstart of motivation is the song ‘Don’t dream it’s over’ by Crowded House. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9gKyRmic20). Contrary to popular belief (amongst my friends), I DO listen to modern music; for example, Coldplay, and One Republic. I fall in love with the lyrics before I fall for the melody. That’s just me.
I started this blog in February 2014 to escape daily routines. I have always excelled in writing, and while I did not get a chance to study more in college, I have been self-teaching in the hopes that someday, I can publish a Poetry and Fantasy books. I want to help others achieve their own levels of happiness. I am cheerful all the time, but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel sadness deep inside. If this page helps you in any way, my job has been done. It does sound cliche, but life is not as bad as we think it is – it DOES get better, but we must understand that it will never be perfect. How else are we going to become stronger? “Don’t dream it’s over”.
I don’t like to follow trends (sometimes I do, though) nor others. I wear colourful clothes during winter, and if I feel like it, I’ll wear a dress. I do not like bacon. I would rather walk on the beach than sunbathe – but that’s because, my skin is naturally tanned. I’ve always loved to do what I wanted to do, not what others thought I should do. My idea of ‘fun’ may be just a bit different from you :p, but I don’t judge.
No, I do not live in an igloo. I do not own a pet penguin, but if I had the chance, I would definitely own one and name it ‘Bilbo’.
Feel free to leave a comment, and thanks for the follow! I’ll follow you, as well (unless you’re from Mordor :p)
❤ ❤ ❤ Love, Ellie ❤ ❤ ❤
