I spent five-plus years in media, producing, researching, writing, chasing a story down from every angle it had. Fiction though, has always been the thing I kept just for me. I would scribble in notebooks, type into my notes app at 2am, dictate into voice memos whenever a plot line or a random moment of inspo wouldn’t leave me alone until I wrote it out. I pull ideas from places I’ve traveled, things I’ve lived through, the odd nightmare I couldn’t shake and sometimes just an image I’m wrestling with in my mind, until it takes on a life of its own. I’m here to stretch my creative muscles, take on new writing challenges, and finally share the stories that have been sitting in my notes app or Google Drive for years or new ones sparked by writing challenges, starting with this one.
