Day One: About the Author

'Imagine the front sleeve of a hard cover novel. Give us your "About the Author" so we can get to know one another, and for fun tell us what your imaginary novel would be about.'

This is my first post for the Blog-tember Challenge!


Brave Love Blog

Mariana is a curly-haired music lover with a passion for literature and helping others.
She is (hopefully) studying Medicine in the University of Porto.
Her main interests include: traveling, walking around with her boyfriend, playing music, singing in the church choir, dancing, reading and writing, cats and spreading positivity. 
Her favourite season of the year is fall and she loves Christmas very much as well.
She believes in love above all things.


I would actually love to write and publish a novel, but the inspiration hasn't struck me yet.
I'd like it to be an adaptation of my own high school experience: overcoming fears, finding myself, approaching problems like heartbreak, bullying, self harm, eating disorders etc. I would like that novel to give hope to teenagers like me and to make some people feel understood!

love,
Mariana

  1. Hi, heading over from Blog-tember. Love your post. I also believe in love above all things (despite experiences which have shaken that belief). Love the idea of your novel - I definitely think people should tell their stories as a way of helping others who might be in the same situation.

  3. From the sounds of it, I am quite bit older than you. . . BUT, we still seem to have a few things in common, Mariana. I started college this past week with the intent to study finance. With that said, I have always enjoyed writing & (somewhat secretly) aspire to write a novel one day as well -- I just haven't had that burst of inspiration in regard to my storyline. . . One day! I look forward to "getting to know you" a bit more this month! :D
