Longtime followers of me and my work (hi mom!) will know that I have frequently dabbled in other mediums for my creative work. I paint, I draw, I play guitar (badly, but still)… I have written audio performances, and I have created and edited podcasts and even written a picture book over a decade ago.
Don’t get me wrong: I am a novelist first and foremost. I enjoy dipping my toes in other fields, sure, but at my core I am a long-form writer.
That stated, I have been thinking about trying out a few different things in the next little while just as… joyous experiments, I think. I wrote a whole stack of short stories back in 2016 (six years ago! Gosh), and I might try my hand at a few more in the coming months. When autumn comes I am going to be buried in school work again, so this summer is going to be my only opportunity for the near future, at least until I graduate.
This shouldn’t impact my writing schedule, but I did want to share it now to see if anything comes of it in the future… you can all say that you heard about it before it happened!
For now I’m just going to leave it as a teaser, though. No details, just… other things in the works.
Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
