A Little Bit About Me…

-


The last time I wrote an about me post was the 18th of November 2020 and a lot has changed within the two years, one month, and four days.

During that time, we were in the chaotic life of Covid and the third lockdown was nearly going to scar, not only England but many other places around the world. It meant most people could not spend Christmas or New Year's Eve with their family. For me, I had finished university a few months prior and the graduation I was meant to have was pushed back six months, and then finally a year. 

I must admit, I do kind of miss this era of Corona as I was able to simply wake up every day and write. Even though I do slightly miss it, I am happy that I am now able to travel, which I am currently doing around southeast Asia and Australia. 

But let me re-introduce myself.

My name is Sarah Glatzhofer, and I am currently 23 but in five months I will be 24 years of age, nearing my mid-twenties; I know, scary. 

I have written five novels, although none of them are published. I enjoy writing in the genre of romance, fantasy (this is new), YA (young adult), and NA (new adult).  

One of my favourite jobs I've had was being a copywriter for Splento as I was able to use the skills I learnt from university and write blogs. Also, the people who I worked with were extremely kind.

My ultimate dream job is to become a published author, having books in the romance and fantasy genres. And if that does happen, fingers cross, I think it would be cool to start my own magazine company with magazines for sport, science, travel, fashion, and literature. It would be like the Bratz series where the four of them had their own magazine company.

But right now, as mentioned, I am travelling southeast Asia and Australia. I am currently in Bangkok, with Laos and Vietnam finished. On my third country out of ten, and I must say, it is going quickly.

I also have an Etsy account, and if you are a fan of horoscopes and love the idea of having yours as your iPhone wallpaper, then I have some on this account for you to have. My shop is called SJGlatzhofer's Shop. 

And if you enjoy following Tiktoks that are about travel, books, and writing, then check me out on this social media app under the name SJGlatzhofer. 
As you can tell, I am very fond of this name and pretty much use it everywhere. 

My blog is something that I do for fun, and I have a mixture of topics that I write about. This include, travel, book reviews, writing tips, and as of right now I am doing a series called Dear Luna for you to all read as I travel around for the next four months. This blog topic is simply about how I am doing/feeling whilst being away from family and friends for four months. 

This is who I am, as of right now. 

And I wonder who I will be in a year.

Guess who’s back - Dear Luna

  Dear Luna, Guess who’s back?!? Me! I want to surrender myself to sleep but I am currently on my delayed plane, waiting for lift off which should have happened over two hours ago. Sure, some people would be reading this and think, just go to sleep. And I would love to, but I am also on duty to update my family for them to know what time to leave to pick me up from the airport in Naples. Summer has arrived which means holidays in the warmth, instead of miserable England which has been raining for the past week or two. But, alas (always wanted to use this word), an obstacle has occurred which means temperatures in the thirties is still out of reach, but hopefully the plane will depart, soon.  We were about to leave but something was wrong with the engine making the plane turn back around. Fire services came on, followed by the engineers, and two cabin crews had to be swapped due to the fumes they breathed in. But thankfully, we should be leaving soon as everything has been sign...

Vientine, Laos - Dear Luna

Dear Luna, When I was younger, I saw his carton picture in a history book at school, showing the fear that people had when it came to electricity. The sky was filled with thousands of spider-webbed wires going from the electricity pole to all of the buildings around them. Here, I am in the capital of Laos and this cartoon has come to life. When arriving here, all I could do is peer out of the car window, staring with amazement at all of this. I understand why many people were trembling with living in a world that looked like it was being taken over, because seeing this in real life, gives an allure of dystopian.  Even though this city gives this sort of vibe, the warmth here compared to Hanoi, Vietnam is one that I am enjoying so much. Our days are spent in shorts and t-shirts, whilst back at home, our family is all stuck wearing wooly jumpers. And away from the wires that scar the blue sky, are the temples that bless this capital with beauty. In the 1800s, ...

Skin Of The Sea by Natasha Bowen - Book Review

I have always found an interest in mythology and legends. Ever since I was eight, after our six weeks of learning about the myths of Greek mythology I had fallen in love. I enjoyed the idea of these stories that had gone down from generation and generation to the point that people questioned whether it was true or false. However, it was clear in my childhood how easy it was to find books surrounding Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythology, such as the Percy Jackson books. Although I enjoyed these novels, it wasn’t until my late teens/early twenties that I realised a lot of these novels about legends were very white. There’s this whole world of mythology from Thailand all the way to the Yoruba culture. The novel follows Simidele a Mami Wata, a water spirit who helps those who have lost their soul in the water to pass on peacefully. Until one day, Simi ends up saving a human boy, something which she is not allowed to do as she is only meant to help the souls which have already passed. The c...
