I was reading a book, and go bored, so I put on my headphones and decided to go for a walk. Within Temptation was on and then Neko Case followed by Lacuna Coil. The road is very windy and hilly, lots of trees cover it, and then theres this open meadowish field, and with the music in my head I saw Lyric standing there, scared but fighting, not wanting to be a vampire, and then her whole story started to develop, and I was like, I want to know this character, then I want to share her.

I don't always have to live in this world. I get to travel to other versions, other realms, other times. I dont have to be around only humans, I meet angels, demons, witches, enchantresses, monsters, damsels.

I get inspired through a lot of outlets: backroading with the windows down, walking through graveyards, walking old roads, dancing in the rain, and all of these are full of my music playlists, pushing in characters and ideas.
