You’re a writer, an artist. Your time as of late has been focused on breaking your artwork into content that is digestible in under 6 seconds. Your dream starts to fade with every passing second you spend on writergram. 

That’s where I’m at at least. So let’s talk about dreams.

When I was twelve years old, first discovering my interest in writing, my dreams were not filled with trending audios and trope lists. I knew what I wanted, and I wrote a 10,000-word fanfiction about it. In this fanfiction, I was friends with authors like Hemmingway and Fitzgerald in the 1920’s, and we met in cafes to read and critique each other’s writing. I would love to go back and tell my middle school self that she now has multiple author friends who trust her enough to share their unfinished writing with her and let her give them thoughts and suggestions. (Oh, and by the way, one of them just finished the last chapter of her second book.)

The right agent to represent my (your) book will come eventually.

The book deal will come to me (you) eventually.

The television adaptation with my (your) dream cast and perfect soundtrack will (hopefully) come eventually!

How do I have confidence in this? When I was in middle school I dreamt of having writer friends who all valued each other’s talents. I see the fulfillment of that dream in the new chapters that land on my desk and google doc invites in my inbox. Now, I dream of my book earning its well-deserved recognition as it takes its place in the ranks of traditionally published urban fantasy. My dreams have come true before, with time and patience. 

If you’re looking for down-to-earth authors who value artistry and talent over having 20k followers, you’re in the right place. Give me your messy vision boards that you’re too embarrassed to post, and as many words as it takes to introduce me to your favorite character. I don’t want advertisements, I want art. And I want a community of people who support each other’s dreams.
