Blog Post #1: Welcome to My Little Corner of the Story

There’s something quietly magical about beginnings, isn’t there?

Blank pages. Fresh notebooks. The soft hum of a coffee machine in the background. That fragile, fluttering feeling when you’re about to let someone into your world, even if it’s just through a screen.

So hello.
Whether you stumbled in by accident or came here on purpose, I’m really glad you’re here.

I’m Eleanor E.K. Blackwood. I write stories that ache a little and heal a lot, romance tangled with fantasy, soft moments tucked between storms, and characters who choose love even when it hurts. This blog is the in-between space. The part between the polished pages. A place where I can ramble about what I’m writing, share the tiny symbols woven into scenes, gush about fictional boys with sad eyes, and maybe even talk a little too much about coffee or cats.

You won’t find a perfectly curated space here.
But you will find tenderness. Honesty. Maybe even a line that lingers longer than expected.

Here, I’ll be sharing:

• behind-the-scenes thoughts on my books and characters

• quiet insights into my writing process

• playlists that keep me company

• musings on creativity, self-trust, and choosing love again and again

Until then, thank you for reading this far.
And if you’re holding a story close to your chest, one you want to write, or one you’re afraid to, this is your sign to begin.

The page is waiting. And so is the magic.

With love (and six half-filled notebooks whispering 'start again'),
Eleanor
