How to Empower Your Writing
“The morning pages will teach you to stop judging and just let yourself write. So what if you’re tired, crabby, distracted, stressed? Your artist is a child, and it needs to be fed. Morning pages feed your artist child. So write your morning pages.” ― Julia Cameron

Notes On Reading My Stories...
I wanted to share some notes on my stories, the universes that they inhibit, and the ways that they relate to each other. Please read this note first; I promise I will keep it brief. In general, there are three universes that I'm posting here: space, the detective, and fairytales. I'll make a master author's note the detective and space universes themselves soon, but here are the important parts:

One Hundred
Once upon a time a young girl fell deeply in love with the written word. She read until her brain burst open and stories began pouring out into notebooks, on napkins, and the back of homework. But time passed, life overwhelmed the girl and writing took a backseat as she focused on her growing brood of children. She never forgot her dream and often still scribbled stories in stolen moments of quiet. She often wondered if she could ever be a successful writer. Then, one beautiful day, she found Vocal. The girl, her stories, and Vocal lived happily ever after.

Author's Notes: Puss's Boots
Puss's Boots. This story is over ten years old, over 475 years old, and over thirty years old. As a child, I fell in love with a picture book of Puss-in-Boots; I loved the simple, colourful, elegant faux-Medieval art designs even more than the story. Years later, I studied history thrive fashion, and this one book still lives with me. I wrote this story three times; it was my first original fairytale, and my first original queer story.
