Hi, I’m Sierra!
And I’m writing my first book.

I’m a writer, poet, and aspiring author. But most importantly, I’m a follower of Christ. I write monthly newsletters on my Substack and keep up with my writing journey daily on my Instagram.

About Me

I was never a kid writer; I never read much. Sure, I admired great stories, had my favorite books, and watched Indiana Jones incessantly, but I wasn’t a big reader and I didn’t care to write.

My writing journey started when I was barely thirteen, fresh out of quarantine. I’d started to read more when COVID hit, the first being the Harry Potter series. I had always loved movies until then, but books expanded my imaginative mind as I entered the world of intangible imageries. Now that my wheels were turning, I began brainstorming stories and expanding my already-created universes for the fun of it. It wasn’t until I was fifteen when I started to actually write them, one opportunity being writing camp.

I saw the Rebelution was hiring for an internship with their social media team. Although I wasn’t even allowed to have social media then, I signed up. Due to my lack of social media experience, I hastily started a blog to provide some credibility for my application (I didn’t get the internship). Thus, It’s a Writing in Progress began.

Little building blocks, like writing camp, the Rebelution’s blog opportunities, and my brand establishment, are markers of my writing journey’s beginnings, and they are experiences I love to teach from.

I’ve been writing seriously for about a year and a half now and hold my WIP and other ideas close to my heart. Even my online platform—my websitenewsletter, and Instagram page—are little corners of my own. I believe this platform—this talent—are things I can use to glorify God.

Give Her My Heart

Blog

  • So, since nobody asked, I’m discontinuing the weekly blog posts. I’ve been making these weekly posts since June 2024, when I began writing Give Her My Heart. My platform has come a long way since then, both aesthetically and professionally. I know nobody reads my blog posts, but if you do, thanks. Genuinely. Thank you…

  • This Week: Mar. 3-8

    I’m posting this way too late because I didn’t even realize it was Monday. Last week, I edited one chapter. One. That’s okay, because I was busy, but I was losing my focus and discipline. I still am and have struggled with this for way too long. It is difficult for me to focus on…

  • This Week: Feb. 24-Mar. 1

    I’m shocked it’s almost March already. Last week was a small exception to my lack of productivity. I was very busy, with the CLT on Thursday, work, school, and an all-day occupation on Sunday. I had very few opportunities to edit. However, I edited a few chapters and did some plotting. My book is looking…
