All I can say is what a week it has been, I had a birthday, got a new job and then had a major flashback from the past. It’s funny how sometimes life feels like it is moving so slow, it feels as if nothing is happening but when you look back at those times you realize that everything was happening you just couldn’t see it. That is exactly how I felt this week. I was driving in an area…..
“The deepest satisfaction of writing is precisely that it opens new spaces within us of which we were not aware before we started to write. To write is to embark on a journey whose final destination we do not know.” – Henri J.M. Nouwen. This quote is completely true, the rush of joy I felt whilst writing my first novel is a feeling I hadn’t previously felt, the obstacles I have endured since and the amount I have grown as…..
This week I would like to talk about appreciation and the things I am grateful for. As most people know it is a tough industry to try and break into and can be cold.

Christmas is over and today feels like the first day in weeks we can breathe, it is also the first time in the past week I have felt like we are actually on holidays. I do love this time as it gives everyone with busy schedules time to…..
When I initially started writing my first novel, I didn’t ever expect it would one day become published. The truth is I just started writing about a woman that I felt was so different to myself and I used her story as a stress release. I have always been a big softy who wears my heart on my sleeve and strives for perfection. This woman I had created and was writing about was confident, independent, mentally strong, and aware of…..
My name is Ashlee Wynters and I would firstly like to say thank you for visiting my blog. I am the author of Moore, Than a Pretty Face. I would like to start from the beginning on how I became a published author and my journey. The truth is I didn’t dream from the time I was a small child of one day becoming an author nor did I even know I could write. I am a high school dropout…..
