Brief Introduction? Maybe not
Good morning lovely women 💋 I thought it be nice to quickly introduce myself to the group and get to know you a bit. So hi! My name is Anastasia, I'm 26 and I am from Cyprus. A little background on me: In 2021 I had packed my entire life in two bags and moved to New York to pursue my dream in acting. What really happened though while in New York was I got to discover who I am and who I want to be without any criticism, shame or doubt. Throughout this "self-discovery" journey I fell in love with writing and acting became a medium for me to heal and release any past trauma. That right there was the true power of art! I had one of those "survival" jobs that sucked the light out of me yet the most magical thing happened one morning on an uptown A trail to SoHo at 6am, on my way there. I was listening to a song (Seven Devils by Florence + the Machine) and a scene kept playing over and over in my head. So out of curiosity and a bit of "what do I have to lose" I began writing the scene down. And more songs slowly inspired other scenes, and those scenes came together to form an idea for a novel. So, what do I have to lose? I began to write an ethereal fantasy novel. The First Light. This novel is about war and loss, love and rebirth. It follows the tragic story of Celene, a human that after witnessing the assassination of her parents she fell into a new dimension. Into a world named Serendel. There she tried to hide who she was because it could be deadly, so her only means of survival was to become glass. One night, after discovering a hidden lake, she accidentally activated an ancient spell that directly connected her to the Queen and now she was forced to come out of the shadows. As her life became interlinked with the Queen’s, only one could survive and Sybil wasn’t gonna let her lifelong friend die because of a human. Who will it be? Will Celene be able to escape Sybil’s wrath? But the first light isn’t just a book! The First Light is a mission, it’s my purpose I guess. It is the first step for a bigger mission, to help artists from around the world, who don’t have the means to follow their dreams and passions, to step into their light and show the world. Art is about speaking your truth. It’s about ARTiculating your truth. It has three main focuses
