About Me — Lisa Marcelina
Non-fiction Christian Writer, Artist, Nature Lover
Hello friends, I am Lisa and I am from the twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. I am 52 years of age and live with my spouse and two wonderful children.
I have a BSc in Management Studies, and work full-time as an Executive Secretary. Along with writing, my hobbies are reading, drawing and hiking.
Writing is something I have been doing for a long time. My online presence began in 2008 where I started blogging. I’ve had a few blogs well, all related to spirituality. I also owned a personal development website, and I wrote on Hubpages, EzineArticles, and a few other online article websites.
However, as my family responsibilities grew, my time for writing became less and I stopped writing for several years. Recently, I picked up writing again because I felt the Lord calling me to do so once again.
My niche is Christian non-fiction. I love writing about the Bible and my Christian walk. While I enjoy writing on spirituality, I do write on other topics as well. The goal of my writing is to encourage and uplift others, especially women. However, men can benefit from my writing as well.
What drew me to Medium was the moneymaking aspect of it. However, I found out I was not eligible for the Partner Program after joining. But that will not stop me from writing on Medium. One thing I love about writing is the connections that one can make, and I have made some wonderful connections here so far.
My greatest desire though is to write a book. It is something I have dreamt about for a long time. I am not certain what this book would be about, whether my memoire, or a devotional book or a Bible Study book. I have joined a few writing programs to help me get clarity, and hopefully before the end of this year, I would be on the road to becoming a published author.
Apart from writing, I love to draw. During the lockdown last year, I discovered my love for drawing. It started with just basic sketches and then I decided I wanted to learn more. I started looking at YouTube videos and enrolled in a few art courses. Colored pencils are my favorite medium right now but I want to learn more on how to use charcoal and pastels.
Hiking is also one of my favorite pastimes. I love nature and make use of every opportunity to be outdoors. I am also a bit of a fitness buff. Exercise and fitness are my keys to staying healthy. When I tell people I am 52, they find it hard to believe. But the key to looking good is a healthy diet and exercise.
I am also an introvert. I love my own company and my friends are few and far between. My family, especially my two children, are very close to me. You are going to see me mention my children are lot in my writing, as well as my introversion.
