Hi there! I’m Mariana. I have quite a few passions, but foremost, I love spending time with my three children and all my fur babies! Then comes my other love, which is the art of writing and story in all forms.

Beyond my love of story, teaching creative writing to high school students and helping them find their voice is a magical experience. I’ve watched students’ stories blossom once they understood story structure and the design elements that go inside of it. Their writing comes alive because they’ve learned the techniques to emotionally impact their readers, and I’d like to do the same for you!

Welcome to my blog!

Happy reading and writing…
