About Me

Hi! I’m Madeline Joy.

a dreamer 
a storyteller 
an artist

 I am a teenage daughter of the King of kings, a warrior princess raised from the ashes.

 Poetry wanders through my mind and sometimes spills out onto paper.

 I love reading speculative and YA fiction. 

 I was homeschooled for most of my life, and I currently attend a Christian school.

I love dancing in the rain, under the stars, and beside the ocean.

I want to see the broken people in this world healed and restored.

My dream is to write stories that will change people’s hearts and open their eyes.

The stars are my inspiration, the wind is the blood in my veins, and the forest is my second home.

I choose to fight for the victims of human trafficking - because slavery still holds people captive and we need to fight for their freedom. 

And most importantly, I am a Christian, a Christ-follower. Jesus is the reason I am here, the reason I write, and the reason I have hope in the midst of darkness.

    We sound so similar - I call myself a nature child since I'm in love with the mountains and sunsets and long walks in the forest. I also have a HUGE passion for the broken people of this world and I write because Jesus has given me a dream to reach those who are hurting.
    Your blog is amazing and I can't wait to read more!

October is Ending...

It's the last day of October.  Red and gold leaves cover the ground, apples and pumpkins are everywhere, and this evening dozens of children will start knocking on doors to ask for candy.  October has been pretty amazing.  And busy.  And now it's almost over.   So, what have I been doing during this beautiful month? This October... I completed my first online college class!  I took an English class through duel-enrollment with a local college.  If you haven't heard of duel-enrollment, it's basically taking college courses while you're still in high school.  This was a great learning experience for me - I wrote about six papers in eight weeks, so LOTS of writing. I started this blog! I've wanted to have a blog for a long time, so I'm really happy to finally have one. I worked on plotting my novel! Yes, my novel.  The one that mainly exists in my mind and in the form of jumbled ideas.  But - I finally spent some time brainstorming

A Girl and Her Dream

Hi everyone, I'm Madeline Joy. Welcome to my blog, Tower of Joy. This blog is a new beginning, a first step into the unknown. It's a journey that I've wanted to embark on for a long time. It's a dream finally awoken into reality. Since this is my first post, I thought I'd share a little about myself and my dream. I was the girl who spent recess wandering through my imagination. The girl whose favorite part of the week was library time. The girl who searched for a magical, hidden world. The girl who lived more in books than reality. The girl who began to feel like a stranger on her own planet. I spent more time alone with my thoughts than I ever did with people. I still do. But reading and writing has shown me that I'm not alone. I'm not the only one who dreams. I'm not the only one who watches the stars. I'm not the only one who longs for a place I've never known. I'm not the only one who weeps for the brokenness of thi
