Inspiration
Writing Fanfic Saved My Life. Runner-Up in Writers Challenge. Top Story - September 2023.
When I was a very young girl, I lived in a world built inside my head. My external world was a very scary place. My father drank a lot. And when he drank, he got loud and sometimes… he got violent. It was a lot to take in as a child. My internal world often included myself and the characters from a tv show or movie I recently watched. Mostly, it was Bonanza. I loved and still love that show and I wanted Adam Cartwright to be my dad.

Filling the Blank Page
I was always a writer in school, as early as the elementary grades. When we learned that we had to write an essay, my classmates would groan while I would become giddy with anticipation, sharpening my pencils and pulling out stacks of paper. On one sixth-grade assignment, I had inexplicably forgotten to write a short answer in the middle of the homework. My teacher somehow overlooked my omission and gave me a 97% on the assignment. I immediately brought the issue to her attention, and she lowered the grade but gave me credit for being honest. Instead of 77%, I ended up with 85%. When she saw my reaction, she asked me why I was still upset, and I told her because I didn’t get to write the answer.

The Exchange
I am by no means a great writer. That's not me being modest, it is the truth. I look at some of ya'll works with mad envy and wish I could articulate my thoughts just as good, but I haven't quite gotten there yet. I am working on it though, and my first step was "The Exchange".

Rising from the Ashes
In the dimly lit room of a small apartment in Lyon, France, Sara sat alone, gazing at the fading sunlight streaming through the curtains. Her eyes, once filled with the fire of determination, were now brimming with tears as she clutched a faded photograph. It was a picture of her and her teammates, their faces etched with despair, taken moments after the final whistle had blown in the previous Women's World Cup. They had lost. Heartbreak had washed over them like a tidal wave, drowning their dreams of glory.

Sing Me a Story
I was a traditionalist, still very much am when it comes to relaying my thoughts, speaking my truths, painting my stories through words. Over 80% of my ideas are transcribed on physical pieces of paper, anything blank and able to be scribbled on are my canvases. My notebooks become collages of scraps from newspapers torn, reciept paper slowly fading from fingertips turning them over and over, graded elementary papers, backs of pictures, postcards, even the occasional ticket stub. In and of itself there's a story with every piece, a time period, a thought frozen in the moment it's formulated and consolidated in my brain. While half written sentences and misspelled words can be their own mystery to solve, the time in which its set can immediately take me back, put me in the mindset of 6 year old Blondie. Sitting as high as she can on the jungle gym, anxiously waiting for her parent to arrive to after school care and take her home to stuffing her face with hamburger helper. Passively listening to her father play video games, she'd kick her dangling feet from the barstool she sat at doing "homework" that included coloring in the lines and learning that 1+1 doesnt equal 11.
