The Road to Elephants
I’ll be where the magic is.
As a creative, I took the long road. I tumbled down the creative rabbit hole for a long portion of my adult years. What I mean by that is I tried everything. Graphic design, painting, illustration, film (which I still love), entrepreneurship, cooking…everything but what I always really wanted to do, which was to buckled down and write. To be left alone, to be released from the demands of adulthood (money, recognition, expectations) and just write.
I had to take this crazy looping journey where I did everything that I thought would be more presentable to the other adults in my life until I arrived at some pit-stop, exhausted and tightly-wound. By a method of exclusion, I arrived here. And now I’m writing. Because it’s the most fun I have.
What I’m working on now…
Fantasy Novel (Title Unannounced)
This piece had been carrying a lot of weight in my heart for the past six years. It felt like an important story to tell. I had many false starts. It wasn’t until I realized that the story was in many ways autobiographical that I found my path in the narrative. It was a hard one to write but also incredibly liberating and fascinating. I can’t wait to share this book with you!
Second book in the Cerulean Universe series
Yes, I’m finally playing with Tart and Cypress again. I’m sending them out on an adventure together. Not saying more! If you’re a fan of Weathernose, you’re going to have to hold tight for a while. Fictional characters don’t respond well to pressure.
