love love LOOOOVE THIS!!! now i want to read your novella because the world building is amazing!!
Thank you so much! I’m not sure the novella will ever see the light of day because CRINGE. I wrote it when I was 19 and my writing and world views have matured since. I knew the kind of story I wanted to tell back then, but now I can finally put those themes and ideas into words much better than before.
And honestly the fact of being a mom to 2 insightful and empathetic teens has helped shape the story. Much of Robin for example is straight from the mouth of my son and his own personal journey of identity, and I couldn’t have written it 25 years ago.
Sorry if that went too deep and personal, but I love talking about this! And I really appreciate your support, thank you!
