I started this blog because I was quickly becoming obsessed with make-up. I wanted a beauty blog. I wanted a beauty channel on youtube. But mostly I just wanted to own lots & lots of pretty things.
A long time ago, I thought it would be great to have a "good things" blog. Then I never followed through. I think the problem is that I'm not very good at gimmicks. I just like what I like and maybe you like it too. I like showering praise on the things I adore as much as I like saying how much I dislike something. I just want to be informed, which is a hilarious thing to say, since I never watch the news. Maybe what I should say is I like to inform, which is also hilarious as I'm not a journalist. I'm a creative writer.
I like to create. I like to write.
So ta-dah! You have this here space.
I also like to overly explain things.
I always get mad when people call me an English major. I also get mad when people assume I want to write for a newspaper. I'm not a journalist. It's fine and dandy if you're those things, but I'm not. I'm Diana. I am a Writing, Literature and Publishing major. That title sounds all grand, but honestly, all I ever wanted to do was write fiction.
Fiction is something I adore. There is nothing I like more than shopping in my local independent bookstore. Then walking out of the library with a stack of books. There is nothing prettier than the written word. This blog is my kind of beauty.

Welcome to My World
I am a lot of things, but above all else, I'm a writer.
I've dabbled in crafts, photography and a lot of other things labeled "artsy." I don't consider myself an artist at all. I may be artistic, but I know nothing about art.
When people ask what I do? I used to define myself by my job. I wasn't writing at the time, but I was still a writer. I've never been paid to do it, but it's what I am.
I.Am.A.Writer.
As a girl, I wrote in a journal, made up short stories with ease in class and spent a lot of time by myself. I had friends and I climbed trees and I loved to pretend. I dipped into my imaginary world a lot as a kid. I was an only child till I was seven and in order to fill that void, I had an imaginary twin sister, Tiffany, and an imaginary boyfriend, Tim, who delivered pizzas.
As an adult, I still pretend. I go back to that imaginary world every single time I write a story. I'll never give that up. My twin sister was replaced by my little sister and my pizza delivery boyfriend was replaced by my pizza loving fiancé, so not a lot has changed, except the scenery in my head.
