I love writing, reading, and speaking — in roughly that order. Turning 50 brought a surprising clarity: I’ve spent my entire life writing for other people. Ghostwriting, bespoke pieces, marketing plans with no byline — I’ve genuinely enjoyed every bit of it. But now I write for myself, on my own terms. I write because I love the English language. Studying it is one of my greatest hobbies, and I balance my practice between analogue notebooks and digital tools. I share my work online because I enjoy the reciprocal energy of feedback — the way a single comment can spark a new idea or sharpen a sentence. I’m always on the hunt for new books, and I love helping other writers strengthen their voice. How may I help you today?

“…how long had those tablets moldered inside that chest, waiting for eyes to read them? While I’m sure you will doubt the truth of the outlandish events they relate, my dear niece, in my transcription, I do not leave out a word.” 2021 “Cloud Cuckoo Land” Anthony Doerr Scribner Fiction FICTION NOVELS First Edition September 2021 This quote comes early in the novel’s framing device, where Antonius Diogenes addresses his niece while passing on the discovered ancient tale of Aethon. My Take: Doerr beautifully captures the quiet miracle of writing and storytelling — the idea that fragile words (etched on wood, paper, or tablets) can survive centuries of decay, neglect, and doubt to reach a new reader. It’s a loving nod to how stories outlive their tellers, especially fitting for a novel that weaves together ancient manuscripts, besieged libraries, and future preservation efforts. The act of faithful transcription becomes an act of hope and defiance against time.

Hey everyone - I’m Laura (also known as LC), writer, worldbuilder, and chronic idea-hoarder 😂 I mostly write fantasy/sci-fi/romantasy with big emotions, morally grey characters, and way too much lore. I created this space because writing is better with people who get it. A weird/unique fact about me: I keep my notes app nearby for middle of the night thoughts... and wake up the next morning with sentences like 'the dragon story should be told backwards' and 'show the invention of dreams'. Such useful stuff 😏 Your turn! Reply below with: ✨ name/pen name 📍 where you’re from 📚 what you’re writing 🌀 one weird/fun fact about you Can’t wait to meet you all ✨📖

As an author, I’ve found that having the right professional support can make a significant difference in the quality and performance of a book. I work closely with an experienced editor who helps refine structure, strengthen narrative flow, and ensure each project reaches a high standard. If anyone here is looking for that level of support, I’d be happy to make an introduction and I can also extend a 10% discount for our community. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested.
