Kirsten McNeill hasn't added a story.
"The pen is mightier than the sword." I think I could certainly get behind that motto. The power of written words is unsurmountable. I want to be able to change lives with my words, stories, and experiences. I want to help people find their strength to keep moving forward.
My name is Kirsten Pamela McNeill and I live in British Columbia, Canada. I've lived in the same house for my entire life. I am a graduate of Douglas College with an Associate of Arts degree in Sociology. For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a creative writer. I've always been the creative type and I love reading, music, and spending time with my friends and family.
My reason for using Fundrazr is a personal one, but it is not entirely selfish. As a writer, I want to be able to help people. When I read books, I feel captivated by the characters and their lives. Sometimes, they say something or do something that really affects me. I feel it whole-heartedly when I read something that changes the way I think about a certain topic. That's what I want to happen with my writing. I want to change people's lives, one story at a time. That's why I started a brand called The Art Is Ours. Art in its many forms is meant to connect people. I want to connect with my audience and make them feel good about themselves, as well as encourage them to keep creating. My end goal is to publish books on Amazon Kindle and spread positivity and encouragement throughout the world.
The money I receive from this process will go towards a new laptop (500-700 CDN). I will also purchase an editing software called StyleWriter (250 CND) and buy a new subscription for Microsoft Office (100 CDN). Microsoft Word is my preferred word processor and I would like to have the full program. There is also a program I use for editing and plagiarism scanning called Grammerly which costs a yearly subscription of 200 CDN.
The book I want to publish is a collection of short stories. The themes in this book will revolve around mental health, women's issues, and so on. I want to be able to use my fiction stories to encourage people to stay strong and look for their silver lining.
I would greatly appreciate any help that I can to fund my career. Would anyone be so kind as to help me fulfill my dreams?
