An aspiring writer and trained librarian who is finally trying to finish all those ideas and unfinished stories I’ve thought of, started and worked on over the years. 2018 was finally the year I got closer to becoming a published writer by writing 12 short stories in 12 months. #12monthsofstories was a short story every month for a year (a goal I did in 2018). To keep me motivated and writing I chronicled my journey on my writing blog which I titled “12 Months of Stories” during 2018 but I’m now calling my blog “Writing By Laura.” As long as I’ve been on various social media, I usually get the username “wordsbylaura.” Instead of that I decided to call this blog “Writing By Laura.” Also, I used to have a separate blog called “Watching Pop Culture With My Parents” and I’ve now turned it into a monthly segment on this blog.
