Today we're continuing with discussing the Twilight and 50 Shades series, and this time we're discussion an aspect of what the books did well.

Each western country has their cherry-pickings for where they like to set their stories. Twilight and 50 Shades, however, broke that norm. And Twilight, in particular, did something I haven't seen any other fantasy series do: include a culture that is very much overlooked and ignored in western art. 

Which is a trend, I am still waiting to take off.

Scarlett Marie is a true born creative, who has spent her whole life dabbling in the arts and craft, only to find her feet in the world of words whereby she has spent over fifteen years making stories come alive.

Her time and energy has been mainly spent on the series A Royal Life, of which she started drafting when she was fifteen. 

Here on the 'Diary of a Writer' she hopes to show people a peek behind the door of what it means to live as a full-time creative.
