I'm finally completing my first novel!!
On the verge of being an author, whispering a story into existence✨
A novel in progress about what we carry, what we forget, and what devours us when we look away.
'The Plastic Eater'
literary speculative fiction.

Has anyone here ever changed the title of their book while writing it? I'm sitting with that question for The Plastic Eater and it's harder than I expected. If you’ve been through it, how did you know it was time? Any regrets?

The world of "The Plastic Eater" isn’t far off. It’s a place where the things we once worshiped, convenience, control, consumption, begin to consume us instead.

They called it salvation.
It ate plastic.
Then it ate everything else.
It doesn't stop.
The Plastic Eater..
You can’t throw away what’s already inside you.

These short stories aren’t from my novel. They’re glimpses into the lives happening just outside the same haunting world. Small echoes of the bigger story. I hope they leave you curious.

What’s the one book, poem, or story you’ve never been able to forget and how did it find its way to you?
Mine:
An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks
My daughter passed it on to me after she read it.
I absolutely loved it!
I highly recommend it!

I’m MJ, and I’m currently whispering my first novel into existence, one page and one impossible sentence at a time.
Cosmic & Wonder-Filled
Mystical and introspective
Intimate & Human
It’s about lost myths, quiet rebellions, the place where memory and magic meet.
