Welcome to Scribbles and Stardust—my little literary realm where fantasy brews, secrets unravel, and magic waits in the margins. I’m Marina, a writer, reader, and romantic with a heart stitched together by stories.
I hold a Master’s in Creative Writing, and my world has always tilted toward the whimsical and the wistful. I’m drawn to tales of hidden identities, complicated love, ancient bloodlines, and betrayals that taste like bittersweet poetry. You’ll find those themes threading through everything I write—sometimes with swords, sometimes with stardust.
Right now, I’m immersed in a project that keeps me up at night (in the best way):
👑 A girl, a castle, and the Goblin King: Wynette must kill the Goblin King to return home—but he turns out to be her uncle, and maybe the only one who understands her. Family, betrayal, and slow-burn longing swirl in this twist on classic fairy tales.
This blog is where I’ll share writing prompts, musings from my writing desk, glimpses into my characters’ tangled hearts, and encouragement for fellow writers wandering their own enchanted paths. Whether you’re here for inspiration, a peek behind the scenes, or just to feel a little more magical—I’m so glad you found your way here.
A few truths about me:
- I write best when I have a cup of tea and a warm blanket
- I believe all great stories begin with a thought.
- I keep a “story ideas” document that is five years old and many pages long.
- My favorite sound is a crackling fireplace.
Feel free to linger, explore, and leave a comment—I’d love to know what stories you’re dreaming up, too. And if you’d like even more behind-the-scenes magic, you can find me on Instagram @scribblesandstardust.
Until the next page turns,
-Your Potion-Sipping Storyteller
