Just write anything. Anything and everything...and eventually the story shows you what its supposed to be.

The conception of this book came about during a rather rough time in my life. I was suffering from PPA (postpartum anxiety) and was having a really difficulty time as a new mom and focusing way too hard on all the 'what ifs' that surrounded that.
I was laying awake for hours every night and couldn't shut my brain off. So I decided to start reading (always had but I really too a deep dive into it) as a way to distract my crazy brain. I then had a dream (first sequence in the book) and I kept having it night after night.
One day I was venting to my husband about my inability to sleep and this absurd dream that wouldn't leave my head and he gave me the idea to "write it out" in order to stop thinking about it. That night I wrote out my dream in my notes app on my phone and realized it had completely distracted me from my anxiety-and then I also realized I wanted to know what happened next lol.
So I spent the next few nights and then weeks writing out a story as my own personal form of therapy. I never intended to show it to anyone, but here we are... I hope you enjoy it!
