Abstract

I intend to showcase three key locations from my novel concept by reading them aloud. These locations and this novel, set in a high-fantasy world called Belmoth, has been a focus of mine since my first creative writing class here, and it feels right to conclude my years here at Salem with one of the longest on-going projects I have ever made - and been proud of - before. The creative writing program has both supported me and pushed me to do my best and constantly prove and evolve my work; these excerpts have been revised since the first time I wrote them, and will show just how much Salem has helped me improve myself and my passion - not to mention the confidence that Salem college's creative writing program has gifted me over the years. This reading not only shows the evolution of my writing, but the evolution of my character as a whole.
