Chantelle Bosch's Bio

I come from a family line where storytelling is a talent passed on from generation to generation; from my great-grandfather telling stories about a boy being hunted by his enemies, to the sweet romance of first loves by my mother, to action-packed adventures by my cousin, writing is our family's legacy. My bookshelf as a child overflowed with books, and I was telling stories long before I could read. 

Writing happened to me by accident. My ten year old self wanted to enter a writing contest on our local kids show and got all my friends to join me, despite none of us having any experience writing anything. Although we never got to send our work in (we didn't make the deadline), my first short work of horror had been completed and I'd never been more proud.

To date, I have five manuscripts in need of a rewrite, and a hundred more plot bunnies dragging me in every direction. I hope to share some of my work here, and for readers and writers alike to connect with my characters, or at least find some level of enjoyment from my stories.

Ka kite anō.
Totsiens.
See you around!

    This is a different kind of story. There are some grammar issues but I really like the idea of the story. I'm very curious about the reason she's being interviewed too.

    I can relate to the main character here. This looks interesting. Look forward to an update :)

    I love the analogy weaved through the poem. It's very honest and humble.

    I'm not very good at poetry - too many rules that I'm not allowed to break - but I know a beautiful poem when I read one. This was deep, somewhat dark and bittersweet.

    I mean writing rules, or guidelines that are not mandatory but definitely beneficial to your work. I've no idea what the heck High Tag is, sorry.

  • Redacted Essays from the Celestial Encyclopedia

    Right, I understand you meant some mythological being, but the fact remains that there are creatures in a very popular and famous fictional world with the same name and similar characteristics.

    There are a few rules you've omitted. I'm presuming this is a first draft. It could be good with a lot more effort and work put into it.

  • An Educational Fable

    Grammarian has not come to a face off with a Grammar Nazi, I take it.

    You use a period at the end of a sentence, not a comma.

    I've also noticed some of your comments on other works contradict what is said in this piece. Just thought I'd point it out to you.

  • Redacted Essays from the Celestial Encyclopedia

    I tried to read this but I gave up after the second paragraph. 

    The yunu, especially with the mention of their long hair, reminds me of the yunu from Star Wars. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of Star Wars so I lost interest. You may want to consider renaming your creature because if I'm thinking hairy rainforest species from the best thing since sliced bread (ala SW), then chances are a whole lot of people who ARE fans will think the same. 

    Which, in essence, kills the authenticity of this piece.

  • Redacted Essays from the Celestial Encyclopedia

    You mean perform, not preform.

    This is a bit confusing. Interesting idea but could be executed far better.

  • Whispers of Nowhere

    I wonder if Forneus is Gwen's guardian angel... or guardian daemon, I guess would be more accurate. Is she somehow part of the artifacts? There's clearly a connection between her and it. 

    The Spectrum looks soooooo pretty 0.0

  • Whispers of Nowhere

    I find Phenex's character to be quite intriguing. I admit, it's the description of his eyes that caught me. I have this 'thing' for eyes, since they're said to be the window to the soul, so I probably try to read more into characters and their eye description than I really should. 

    I'm also curious to know how these guys seem to know Gwen. It's a good way to hook the reader. I certainly want to find out more.

  • Whispers of Nowhere

    I wonder what the pricking sensation on the back of his neck was all about? Does that mean he potentially knew who was responsible for the blackout, i wonder?

    I'm also very curious about the little girl, and who exactly he failed, and what it is that he failed at. 

    I know, I've read this before, but y'know, my memory is shot - I barely remember the stuff I've written myself. Which is pleasant, in a way, because it's like I'm reading all of this for the first time again :)

  • A Marriage of Inconvenience

    No matter how many times I read this, I am always sucked right into the story. Your writing is excellent - I can't stress that enough.

    Cade is quite different. I'm curious to read more of him.

    MOAR, I needs MOAR!

  • Old Soul

    Very interesting! I wonder if this family is part of the light side or the dark side?
