Hi all,

 

Just wanted to give a quick update. I’ve spent the past year handwriting 40,000 words, and I have about 20 different stories brewing. A lot of these stories center around Zidane and a concept that has to do with dimensional travel, but I won’t spoil anything!! :) 

 

Through this process, I'm learning that writing is one word at a time, one sentence at a time, one page at a time, and one session at a time. As long as I'm giving my best, the rest will follow.

 

I’ve also fallen deeply back in love with these characters, concepts, and plot lines. I’m what they call a “pantser”, which means I write completely out of order, but slowly I’m connecting stories one scene at a time.

 

I just wanted to thank you for your patience. Grazing has been a lifelong project (I started crafting these characters, specifically Zidane and Zooka, when I was 7) and I’m so excited to share all new timelines, stories, novels when they’re finally done. Until then, thank you so much for your patience and continued readership.

 

 

Much love,

 

Meg

About me as an author:

 

I've been writing down my imagination since I was seven, my very first story about a pickle who ate other pickles (and later declared to only eat relish as a character arc!). This story was for a school assignment, something that repeated yearly up until 8th grade graduation. So, for the next six years I developed as an author and as a person, writing a story a year for this assignment. As I grew up, I kept writing, each year getting closer to successfully penning a story that was constantly developing in my head. But that whole process is a story within itself!

 

As far as genres go, I don't really peg myself as a one genre author. I write what's fun to write, so that can be anything from sappy romance (usually a reader insert, because I think involving the reader as the main character is just super fun!) but I’ve also been developing a science fantasy series around the same time as when I wrote my first “pickle” story. So basically as far as genres go you can scroll into my portfolio and take your pick :)

 

Thanks for reading!!

 

 

Featured works:

 

Grazing the Sky  - a multi-dimensional science fantasy that's been in development since 2002. First book is complete and many spin-offs are on the way!

 

Matt’s Story  - out of all my characters, right now Matt is probably my favorite to write. He’s the LGBTQ part of Grazing, and entering his mind gives the series a more “realistic”, human feel if I do say so myself. :-)) He’s got multiple stories to his name, but his true introduction is in  Matt’s Story.

 

Leave A Scar  - My own twist on the popular anime/manga Fullmetal Alchemist. I had a ton of fun writing this one (a good chunk of it, 85,000 words to be exact, came out of me within a month!). COMPLETE

 

Summer Rain  - a quick, cute "Hallmark"-like coming of age romance! [book 1 complete!]
