Hello and welcome to thelitwiz blog! For my first post, I want to give a vague overview of what I intend to post in the future. Essentially, I plan to write about writing. And also just, you know, write.
Here are some things you can expect to see with regularity:
- Reviews & Recommendations– I’ll be posting reviews of books, poems, and short stories. Don’t expect hot, off the press reviews for books that just came out, I use the library. As for the recommendations, I know sometimes it’s hard to find the “next” book. I want to recommend books I like, but also books one might like if they really appreciate a certain author or series. There should always be a next book to look forward to.
- Opinion Pieces– Boy do I have a LOT of opinions. These could be anything from why you should be thrifting your books (which, you should be), to defenses of novels or certain characters in novels, to my love for the many authors I hold dear to my heart. Get ready.
- Literary Theory/Analyses– I do have a degree in this stuff, so I might as well use it sometimes. These will not be the bulk of my posts as they’ll take more time than the others, but I will include them and they will be fun and interesting, I promise!
- Writing Tips– As I said, I have a degree in this stuff. Most of these tips will be things teachers and professors have taught me. I don’t claim to be one of the best writers in the world, but I do know good writing when I see it, and I like to think I can convey that to another person. I’m always learning, and when I learn something new, I’ll share it with you too.
- Creative Writing– These will be posted when I feel like I have something worthwhile, which is almost never. I sincerely hope you enjoy them.
I think that covers everything. I hope you all enjoy this blog as much as I’m enjoying developing it. I’m excited to begin this journey.
