Reflections on Healing, Storytelling, and Becoming
Notes from the in-between: fragments of process, healing, worldbuilding, and the quiet madness of writing.
This blog exists as a continuation of the same journey that shaped The Threads of the Triad series.
I began writing during therapy, at a time when I was learning how to breathe again after a difficult period. Storytelling became a way to slow down, observe my inner world, and give shape to emotions that didn’t yet have language. Over time, those private reflections transformed into a fantasy series rooted not in conquest or spectacle, but in healing, memory, and choice.
This space is where that process continues: more openly, more quietly, and more personally.
Here, I write about storytelling as a tool for recovery, creativity as a form of grounding, and the small, often unremarkable moments that help rebuild a sense of purpose. Some posts explore the emotional foundations behind my novels. Others reflect the ways art can hold us when logic alone is not enough.
This blog posts are not meant to offer quick fixes. They are reflections shaped by lived experience, about learning to stay present, to listen inward, and to choose gentleness in a world that often rewards urgency and force.
If you are drawn to fantasy that values inner transformation, to creative work born from healing, or to thoughtful explorations of memory and meaning, you may find something here that resonates. You are welcome to read in order, or simply follow the threads that speak to you.
