Hi! Thanks for visiting. :)

My name is Shantara and I'm 20 years old. I live in lovely central Victoria in Australia, where I'm doing a degree in professional writing and editing.
Since I was very little I've had a talent for making up nonsense. I love fantasy more than anything, and I'm constantly looking for new books and films with magical worlds I can dive into. It would be phenomenal to write and publish my own creations across the world someday. I'm still at the very beginning of that journey, but one day I hope to leave my mark on history.
Spending too much time in my dream-world could probably drive me insane, so I also take part in musical theatre productions and play the occasional video game. I love trying new things, so it can be a little too easy to distract myself from writing ... but when I do get a story finished, it feels amazing.

Now, that's enough about me. Please read my stories below and tell me what you think of them! I'm open to all constructive criticism. Thank you very much. :D
