Welcome! I’m Christine Smith, fantasy writer and writing coach with an unquenchable passion for aiding writers in ever seeking the joy of storytelling.
Whether you’re a writer, reader, or creative of any sort, follow along for thoughts and encouragement from my own journey in balancing life and creative pursuits, keeping the stars in our eyes in a world constantly trying to dim our light, and endless enthusiasm for the impact and beauty of stories and creative passions.
About Christine Smith
CHRISTINE SMITH has been impacted by stories since before she could even read. Childhood days playing in the thick woods surrounding her home first sparked her love for enchanted forests and wondrous lands.
Fairy tales have captured her imagination for as long as she can remember, and traces of fairy dust and magic and true love (of all kinds) conquering all have long threaded within her stories. She loves tales of dark worlds and messy people finding light and hope, however long and difficult the path.
Her first foray into writing began when she was 9 years old and has been a part of her ever since. In 2022, she created the Fiction Frenzy Writing Challenge a.k.a. FicFrenzy, a Discord group for writers to come virtually together and do seasonal writing events to stay inspired and motivated.
One of her greatest passions is to encourage writers and other creators to keep the stars in their eyes, to use their unique gifts to make an impact in the world and create beauty, and to help them find a pathway that suits their lives so that love of creating will never be dulled.
As someone who has dealt with health issues her whole life, she knows how difficult it can be to balance life, much less find time and energy, to write stories and create, but she firmly believes it’s always worth it.
