Mindscapes 🇬🇧


Mindscapes is a collection of short stories, journal entries and introspective fiction. Together, they make up a series of experimental pieces that may be more relatable than expected.

Some stories aren’t linear and may not always make perfect sense to the reader – and that’s intentional, to an extent. Sometimes I just want to capture a feeling on paper, without focusing too much on world-building.

Other times I try to build a universe from scratch, shaping characters and dialogue until, in their own way, they also reflect a particular emotion.

I experiment with different styles – to find my voice, and to let it say all sorts of things, because we contain multitudes, don’t we?

I can’t wait for you to meet my journal of things I’ve loved and moments I’ve lived, some real, most fictionalised. They’re all here, in this album of mindscapes I’ve travelled through.

Hi, I’m Anca

I’m a writer with an NCTJ-accredited BA (Hons) in Journalism & Media Studies and an MA in Marketing from the University of Portsmouth 🇬🇧

I’ve worked in editorial and marketing roles across tech, travel, and trade & academic publishing, self-published two books, and moved countries twice since I started writing here *waves from Italy*

This blog has been my digital home since my uni days, witnessing my evolution from short stories of all kinds (see Fiction!) to a solid copywriting and content writing portfolio I couldn’t be more proud of.

These days, you’ll mainly find me on Substack, where I write Ancaffeinated – a newsletter about my life with tight deadlines and a clingy sausage dog who follows me everywhere.

Feel free to connect with me anywhere, though, I love hearing from you. Welcome to my playground! 📚✨
