My greatest dream in life is to become a writer. Novels, poetry and plays, analysis of literature and films, you name it. Fanfiction is a way for me to write a novel without freaking out. ;) (Update on that--I now have 137 pages of a novel completed, and seven pages of another!)

I am currently changing my career to instructor of composition to therapist. Because of my own past, and the past of several loved ones, one of the populations I wish to work with are survivors of trauma, including physical and sexual abuse and rape. I am called to do this, but because it is upsetting, I work things out in my writing. This is why my stories on here seem to have that theme. Writing is incredibly healing and incredibly fun, so I hope nobody sees me as being impure in my writing intentions because I do this.

An important note: the last thing I want to do is trigger anyone who has been through a painful experience. Therefore, I want to issue a blanket warning to please read my stories, or anyone else's, with your own self-care in mind. I don't believe in censorship, but believe me, you have to put yourself first.

On a more fun note, I read tarot and runes and know about astrology and can interpret dreams! I believe that amazing insights can be found through symbolism and it's super fun, too. My blog that talks about all that is www.turtlephoenix.blogspot.com. Stop by for a visit!
