New WIP: Twin Peaks meets Gilmore Girls?
My inspo for Black Spruce: I was coming out of a really stressful period of my life, just finished my MA degree, and rediscovered my love for fantasy. I wanted to write something full of magic, hope, and friendship, despite hardships. Also...something that felt like watching Buffy.❤️ #CRPGlasswings
DAY 3 ACTIVITY: What is the inspiration behind your current project?
Bonus: What inspired you to start writing and why? How did you make the decision to take the leap and start writing? #CRPGlasswings

Olivia stepped out into the damp night, breathing in the wet, earthy smell. It was silent outside except the occasional rustling of leaves and an owl hooting somewhere nearby. She reached the mailbox and pulled it open.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they play a game—the choices they make, the rules they follow, or the ones they break. It all matters in the end.
