Stories, Creative Living, and a Bit of Chaos

Legacy Collection. Cringe? Maybe. Creative? Definitely. Welcome to my early writing.

A Special Note to My Subscribers

The Legacy Collection has been such a fun experience to share with you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading and being part of this journey through my early writing.

This was a surprising trip down memory lane for me. I expected my first short stories to be just as bad as my first novel manuscripts. They’re far from great, but they’re not that bad. Releasing them into the world has definitely released something within me.

When I first planned to write reflections for each piece, I thought I’d just focus on what I was trying to accomplish in each story. I didn’t know we’d be reliving my classroom experiences. The best surprise, for me, was rediscovering the intention behind my creative writing. I feel so much more connected to my creative energy than I have in years. At the same time, Professor Williams’ voice has gotten quieter in my head.

I’ve been working on some new ideas behind the scenes, and I’m really excited about what’s ahead. Before I roll things out, I’d love to get your thoughts.

I’ve put together a short, 5-ish-minute survey. Your feedback will help shape what comes next. 🖤

P.S. – All responses are anonymous and won’t be shared.
