Bio
Hi all!! So I just realized it's been years since I updated my profile on here and.... yeah, it didn't really reflect me at all anymore. I'm now a college grad (I studied English and psychology), and I went through this whole thing where I decided the solution to my depression was obviously to convert a cargo van into a tiny home and live in a van by myself. Which was fun and all, but definitely not a boon for my mental health. So, having taken the van to Canada and around the US, I'm now selling it and looking for the next thing to keep myself busy for a few years.
The end goal is to be an author. In the midst of the mental health issues, though, I totally lost sight of my craft and my passion for writing. Everything kind of ground to a halt, and at the beginning of this year, I was thinking that I'd need to find a new passion to drive the first half of my life and maybe turn to writing later on. Well, I didn't write, really, for about six months and it sucked, and every time I tried to think about what else I might want to do for work my brain butted in like, "yes, but writing." So I've decided the solution isn't to actively hold back from writing. It's to trust myself. To stop obsessing about what's going to make money and instead create a piece of art that I love and think is fantastic, and then figure out where it fits in the world.
For some reason, in my free time I like to play with other people's toys instead of actually working on my own, which has turned into approximately 35 unfinished fanfics in my drafts folder. I can't seem to stay away from them so I presume most of them will be finished eventually, and when that happens they'll end up here!
