Welcome to my blog.
My name is Galit G. Balli and I am a writer of Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, YA, Science Fiction as well as a blogger, book reviewer, a declared coffee addict, a gamer and an avid reader.
I started Coffee n’ Notes in October 2015 to share my thought and my journey as a writer. I’ll try to post twice a week (unless I can’t, then only once a week).
My Storytelling started when I was just a kid, telling stories of imaginary friends and new worlds. Many stories had been written since, but only recently I started dreaming of becoming a published author (a dream I hope to accomplish soon).
Currently, I am working hard to finish the editing of three books, most are in the second and third editing stage and soon they’ll be ready for the beta readers stage.
Apart from writing and reading, I love to stay creative and sketch, doodle, play video games (mostly gw2), Watch Dr. Who and spend time with my Husband and our dog Menta (Mint).
You can go read some great tags that show more about me:
