About

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Curtis, and I am a teacher moonlighting as a fantasy novelist. I enjoy crafting fiction and telling stories.

I started blogging in 2017. After fully understanding the extent of my obsession with writing, reading, and creating characters, I decided to blog about the variety of projects I get myself into.

This resulted in two projects:

Curtis Writes Books

Curtis Writes Books is an ever-evolving landing page for all my book-related projects.

Paper Palaces

Paper Palaces, is my blog, where I blog about writing, reading, and the processes in between. I often reach out to other online writers, bloggers, and authors through my blog.

Both sites chronicle my adventure in reading and writing, but the blog is updated more frequently with more detail. I’m also on Instagram. There’s a link to my feed below.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius resting on a copy of The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday.

Over the course of my lifetime, I want to write as many books as I possibly can, sharing the highs and lows of the writing process via this blog. If you have a blog about your process, please leave me a link below. I would love to check it out!
