Ink. Quill. Me.
I'm a bit of a magpie; my process isn't linear. I pin down every urgent idea that lands. Narratives that refuse to wait their turn. Evidence of this creative restlessness? A nursery of tales I cannot risk forgetting.
I move restlessly between them, nurturing each one into full bloom. So, consider each 'incomplete' status not as incomplete, but as teasing glimpses into shrubs being meticulously grown. All growing simultaneously under these skies!
The root connecting all my works, however, is love. Whether sacrificial, familial, or romantic, love is at the core of all I write; it's what pricks you when you touch!
