I've been writing for 16 years, been writing seriously for 10 of those, and still clinging to my dreams of becoming published somewhere other than AO3.

I am living proof that fanfiction can and does get you job interviews with your favourite creators (but sadly not the jobs themselves).



The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
