About serinahartwell

Did you ever have an itch you couldn’t scratch, a feeling that you’re supposed to be doing something else, something bigger with your life? Something that would touch the souls of the rest of mankind and justify your place amongst our fellow men, but you just couldn’t put your finger on what? I spent the best part of 40 years looking for the answer, and low and behold, I finished back where I started, with writing. I sometimes question why I didn’t just turn in the opposite direction, I would have got there straight away, but my path led me away from writing when I was just a teenager, because I lacked the confidence to pursue the dream. Reminiscing one day, the thought occurred to me that if I had found writing back then, I wouldn’t have taken the journeys that led me to write The Hidden Saga. My name is Serina Hartwell. I’m the mother of two wonderful children, who grew up when I blinked. I come from an average size town in West Yorkshire, England. The same place where the Bronte sisters were born, and I am from the village in the mill town I write about. Growing up in an industrial town, and coming from a working class background, I was surrounded by the mills, which were once the life blood of the community. Decrepit and falling into disrepair, they shadowed the place where I lived, serving as a reminder that our town once thrived. I watched as one by one, the mills went out of business and closed, serving to inspire my story, while changing the landscape around me. My mother worked in the mills when I was a child. I recall every night, my father taking my brother and I to the mill to collect her and walk her home over the lonely beck-side. These trips along the shortcut are embedded throughout Hidden, as my childish imagination finally materialised on the page. It was only recently that I found my way back to writing, when I suddenly found out that I was seriously ill. It’s funny how life has a way of bringing you full circle and offering you sharp reminders that time is slipping through your fingers. One moment I was fine and the next I was in a very bad place. Today you look upon the writing of one of the luckiest people on the planet, as I recovered and moved forward. Luck I intend to build upon. With doors closing all around me and my timely reminder, my life reached a turning point, I knew I had to find the thing I was supposed to be doing and get on with it. That’s when I really started looking. In August 2010, I had the most intense urge to write. It came from nowhere, so I did the only thing I could, I borrowed my daughter’s laptop. I didn’t even know at the time if I could write. The last creative thing I wrote was at school. I didn’t know if I could connect with the page, let alone complete a book, but one thing is for sure, I haven’t stopped writing since, nor do I intend to. So, allow me to introduce you to my work. May I begin by introducing Bronte, in The Hidden Saga? I hope you enjoy Hidden and the many more to come.

Listen to the Whisper – Destiny is Calling

Posted on July 25, 2016 by serinahartwell

I’ve realised over time that I was meant to get little installments which when I put them all together, made one big picture. You’re meant to work for it.

Follow That Path

https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgoalcast%2Fvideos%2F1026645817412608%2F&show_text=0&width=560

This is the most poignant speech I have ever heard. In just a few short paragraphs, Steven Spielberg has described my writing journey so succinctly. He’s absolutely right, in that you don’t just wake up knowing what you are supposed to be when you get older. You determine this through the little nudges the heavens gives us in particular directions.

Life will eventually get sick of waiting for you to listen and will drop your destiny on you like a ton of bricks, like it did in my case, but don’t wait like I did – I was 38 – to have a go at what you always had a feeling would work out for you. Try everything until you find it. Listen to that inner voice and let it guide you, because we all know that we come a cropper when we ignore it.

Our lives are built around busy schedules and trying to fit more and more into each day. I kept missing the prompts, because I put all of that first. It took a brush with the Old Grim Reaper, a wasted career and some forced time out of my life to be quiet enough to hear that I was born to be a writer, so I urge you not to make my mistakes.

Let me give you one last piece to the puzzle…

You will know when you’ve found it, because you will open the floodgate and never be able to close it, not even if you want to, because it just won’t let you. That’s when you know you’ve found that last piece you were looking for.

Go out today, take a walk, listen to some calming music that’s just going to drift into the background or do what you need to do to just listen to your inner thoughts. See what they tell you, what clues they throw up, because they’re not going to give you all the clues at once. I’ve realised over time that I was meant to get little installments which when I put them all together, made one big picture. You’re meant to work for it. No one is handed anything worthwhile to you on a platter. Take a moment to reflect upon where you have come from and what brought you to this moment in time and see what full circle your life has brought you without you realising it. You might be surprised at what you find.

Don’t let age be a barrier either. Just go for it. Even just ten years ago, I would have laughed you out of town if you said to me that one day, you will be an author, selling books all over the world, and yet I’m sat here editing my second book, whilst touching up on the third book and planning my next chapter in the fourth. Even I can’t believe that all this is happening to little old me. The girl from the village with no writing contacts nor immediate influence and you want to see what I have coming next.
