We Have Liftoff

All systems are go and we have liftoff!

Snapper Scripts has launched into the blogosphere and across the web. My name is Nellie or Snapper, whichever you prefer, and I will be your navigator through these astral plains, which are ripe with story and fantasy. 


Welcome, officially, to my website! Around here, I'll be discussing writing journey and processes, from tropes, plot points, character development to subtext, dialogue, and the finer points of interpersonal conflicts. 

This dovetails nicely with the other topics I'll be discussing: it's all about books! I know Bookstagram and BookTube are all the hype these days, but with temporal restrictions in my life such as employment and generally making sure food is on the table . . . I'll be providing my take on the books I'm reading around here. You can find smaller reviews on Goodreads and Fable as well (friend me there!) if that's your cup of tea.

By way of introduction, I am a technologist by day and a writer by night. I recently graduated with a Bachelor's of Computer Science, and I have been writing for 10+ years and penned more than enough novels to match that number. With college done, I'm pursuing traditional publishing with a recent novel I've finished.

Fun facts about me?

> I'm solar powered!

> I used to blog on a website also named Snapper. This is Snapper 2.0!

> My favorite color is orange!

> I am building an army of houseplants.

> Though there's no scientific basis for this, it's fun nonetheless. I've evolved from an ENFP to ENTP to ENTJ and to my most recent form: INTJ. Fear me.

> I'm a computer scientist and communicator by trade.

In the last few years, I've uncovered a renewed love for reading. I spend a large amount of time interviewing books to see if I'll buy and add it to the bookshelves (is there a greater feeling?). As a writer, I can't help but look into the craft behind these books, like a carpenter appreciating the woodwork of hand-crafted, cedar tables. In the spirit of BookTube, I'll be reviewing those books here.

My blogging style is more conversational than otherwise, and you can expect from me a tablespoon of sarcasm, a splash of gifs, and a healthy dose of creativity, all baked in humor. 

As our spacecraft makes its way through the universe of stories given to us, I hope you'll enjoy the starry view with me. There's always something new with Snapper Scripts, and I have many ideas for us to explore along the way.

Below, please introduce yourself and share one thing you're excited to see around here (books, writing reviews, or something else! I love ideas!).

This is Snapper Scripts, I'm Nellie, and we have so many things to talk about!
