The first gift Amarantha has ever received was a bouquet of blue lily flowers from her mother. This is what her cosmic core diverted to when it had to assume a simpler form. She also always wears these flowers on her head, since day one. Her mom has left a huge mark in her mind, as you see. :)
I'm thrilled to see how well this campaign is going!!
Yes. For a few years, I really thought my writing life might be over; I'd lost my passion for it. Or so I thought. In actuality, it was a mixture of trauma, chronic pain, burnout, and trying to cleave to perceived industry expectations. (1/2)
Then came along the characters in my current WIP, who reminded me what it can mean to pour your truest self into something. To shape a story and a world in a way only you can. Industry expectations (real or percived) be damned. Given a choice, I'm never giving that up. (2/2)
