I got my start in writing with collaborative fanfiction. Eventually, I started doing original stories. I have lucid dreams, and I got in the habit of telling myself stories before I fell asleep so I could try to direct the dreams. Most of my ideas come from those stories and dreams.

Nothing I write is ever set in stone. I'm constantly editing and polishing. If something seems bare-bones and not up to par, don't worry, I'm working on it. I usually like to hammer out most of a story before I go back and dress it up with more details. Always check the publishing date for the most up-to-date changes. The curse of perfectionism.

Disclaimers:
- I am a Christian, and, although I don't shy away from mature themes, I don't read LGBTQIA+ or explicit sexual content (with rare exceptions).
- My knowledge of SPAG all comes from my background growing up in the USA and using US English.
- I don't do the follow-for-follow, vote-for-vote thing.

Technicalities:
I write in Google Docs using the free version of ProWritingAid as an editing tool, which I recommend highly. It has multiple English usages, too, so you can select the one that fits your country.

What I'm up to:
- ADT: Massive edit/rewrite underway
- IMO: See my feedback reading list
- Everything else (ABT, The Hidden Crystal, Second Chances, The Emerald Kingdom, and several more stories I haven't published yet): On hold for edits/rewriting when I get the time and inspiration
- Judging: Science Fiction in the Blossom Awards 2024
- Reading lists: Adding books to utilitarian reading lists such as Awards & Contests as I come across them, for my reference and yours
