Hi! I'm SJ. I've recently joined Wattpad. I am working on an ambitious fantasy romance mystery series, however wanted to join this wonderful community of writers and artists to support their journeys and, hopefully, learn and kickstart my own writing career, too :-)
You can also support my journey by signing up to my newsletter on Substack at: www.substack.com/bookhubwithsj
Where I share my thoughts on literature and music and generally dive into the discourse on the subjects I find interesting, whilst weaving in familial tales. I also share tidbits about what I'm working on and my creative process (heavily influenced by art, literature and music).
You can also connect with me on TikTok for updates, book recs, and video readings: www.tiktok.com/sjcross_author
I have a ~mild~ addiction to creating long playlists on Spotify. As a neurodiverse writer, I find music to be incredibly calming and cathartic in an often chaotic world.
DOG OBSESSED. (literally I will cross the road to play with your dog).
Poetry lover:
I have started sharing some of my poems here on Wattpad. I would be so grateful for your feedback and thoughts. Many of the poems delve into deep, dark, subject matters, navigating a complex emotional landscape.
My process:
My writing is influenced by the neo-romantic era, and I draw influence from a variety of sources - from music to art (as I also enjoy using mixed mediums in my writing process). I enjoy reading pretty much anything, from commercial fiction and fantasy to classics and poetry.
However, I would like to instate that I do not wish to imitate or emulate other writers, just to appreciate their work and artistry :-)
Thank you for your support! x SJ
