Writing & Stuff
Thoughts on writing and writings about things I’m thinking about.
Food & Recipes
What to eat, where to eat and how it’s made…according to me.
Places & Events
Where I’ve been, where you’ll find me and where I want to go.
Genre and the Multiverse: A Reader and Writer’s Perspective
Ultimately, the beauty of storytelling- whether as a reader or writer - is that it doesn’t have to be confined to a single genre, just as the multiverse suggests our lives aren’t confined to a single outcome. We exist in a world of possibilities, and so do the stories we create and consume. As a reader, I still chase after stories that move me, regardless of their genre. As a writer, I strive to craft stories that do the same - drawing from multiple genres to create narratives that resonate deeply.
How far have we really come?
Creating my characters' lives has made me think about the differences and similarities between Maddie’s era and my Gen X perspective. When considering the ongoing battle for workplace equality, the fight to maintain women’s reproductive rights and societal expectations surrounding marriage and motherhood, it’s sometimes disheartening to think that as much as things have changed… we haven’t come far enough in the last four decades.
Superposition Series
The Maddie and Nate Series explores the concept of superposition by exploring multiple versions of their lives.
