Jesus follower. Quirkaholic. Blogger since 2016. Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in Creative Writing.
I’ve been crafting stories that have delighted audiences for almost thirty years. Whether it be beloved plots and characters; essays and reviews with quality, thought, and a personal touch; or character and story analyses, I enjoy exploring and creating vast worlds with intimate characters to fall in love with.
I savor the wonder and beauty that make life so colorful. Passionate about family trees, Star Wars, JRPG’s, and more, I’m a glasses-less archivist and all-around giant nerd. I currently live in the US Midwest with my grandma, parents, younger brother, and four cuddly cats, and I would gladly die defending Chicago-style pizza.
I’m big on tales of the Inklings variety, but I’m passionate about most stories in any form: be it books, film, TV, streaming, games, and even roleplays.
As for me, I’ve been telling tales since I learned how to read.
What kinds of tales?
Stories about ordinary people becoming heroes by facing their flaws, fears, and regrets.
Because we can’t protect others until we grow ourselves.
What’s Here?
Welcome to the madness that is the mind of writer Jeannette Jonic.
(That’s meeeee.)
This is my personal writer’s blog, so I mostly discuss whatever’s rattling around in my brain.
As for specifics…
The usual suspects are:
- Story excerpts
- Analyses of themes, plots, and characters
- Movie/video game/TV show reviews
- Glimpses into my writing process
- My philosophy on life or on storytelling
Here it’s all about the fiction–writing it, reading it, seeing it, breathing it.
If you’re interested in more details about my reviewing philosophy or my biases, you can check those out too.
