Hi all! Welcome to my new blog. Today, I’d like to tell you a bit about myself and what I aim to do with this space.
My name is Bianca Estrela and I’m a writer from Toronto. I write a lot - blog posts (hey!), school assignments (more on that later), short stories, and I’m at the beginning stages of writing a Young Adult fantasy novel.
I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto in English and History in 2014. A couple years later, I went back to UofT for the Creative Writing Certificate with a focus on novel writing. I’m now halfway through completing that certificate (and still very early on in writing my novel).
In September 2019, I made the decision to go back to school full-time to complete the Communications: Professional Writing Post-Graduate Certificate at Centennial College. I’m currently enrolled in that program and will be graduating in March 2020. As you can see, I love to learn and write.
So, here I stand (I’m actually sitting), a student with a looming graduation and unsure of my future. I am currently looking for a job, so please reach out if you happen to be reading this, and have any suggestions! Apart from all the writing, I have a ton of work experience that you can read all about on my LinkedIn.
Some other fun stuff about me! I absolutely love to read (Young Adult fantasy is basically my religion). I love to travel, the Raptors, my adorable dog Abby, my husband’s cooking, pop/nerd culture, going to concerts, trying new restaurants, running, and good coffee.
I believe in the power of great storytelling. I believe in education. And I believe that the world would be a better place if everyone was a bit more kind.
So, what sorts of things will I be posting on this blog?
Writing samples
Book reviews
Writing tips
School information/reviews (I had a really hard time finding this stuff when I was making the decision to go back to school so hopefully this helps!)
Whatever else I think makes sense here....
I haven’t had a blog since I was a teen with a Livejournal account, so this is a learning process for me. Feel free to join in on the ride, and reach out if you have any questions or comments!
