Welcome!

Welcome to Write Between The Lines! I am Yanitta, and I’m here to tell you a story.

What started out as schoolwork turned into a hobby and evolved into a lifestyle. The first book I wrote consisted of nothing but a nearly-dead black pen with uneven streaks of inks, a free notebook and words written in a seven-year-old’s illegible handwriting. Living in Southeast Asia, I struggled to learn perfect grammar and writing tips due to the lack of resources, and started writing without any clue of what I was doing. I had no idea what outlining, character arcs, prose or suspense was…and it turned out to be a hot-mess.

None of us are perfect writers. We are all in the process of improving our craft, and none of us can write the perfect piece of fiction in ten minutes. . . but we’re all getting closer! I am starting this blog to share my writing process, how I write, stories and updates on my current work-in-progress! (and to stop myself from letting unproductive time pass freely during the COVID-19 lock-down).

I love planning. It is not ‘me’ if it doesn’t involve a thousand-step detailed plan, so I plan to post every week!

You all can get to know me at the ‘About Me’ page linked above as well! Here are some facts about me:

• My name is Yanitta. You can call me Ita for short.
• I am from Thailand.
• I am a self-taught writer.
• I am a Type 8 Enneagram. Any type 8s out there? Let’s talk!
• My favorite TV show of all time is FRIENDS, and my favorite movie is TITANIC.
• I have written two novels and a dozen short stories and poems so far. I used to post them on Wattpad, but they are not available anymore.
• I started the Creative Writing Club at my high-school.
• I love to read YA fantasy, murder mysteries and thrillers.

I hope you all find this welcoming and relatable. By the way, we can be friends! Send me a message in the ‘Talk to me’ page and subscribe to my newsletter. Thank you so much!
