If we could communicate with butterflies, what secrets of the world would they tell?

The road was narrow, tree roots overtaking the tar-black rocks of the roadway. The sound of her luggage rolling shakily across the uneven ground was the only sound to keep her company, as well as her breathing. Her legs had already begun to feel stiff, and her guitar case felt increasingly heavy no matter which shoulder she carried it on. ‘I must be getting close, it has to be just up ahead,’ Sadie thought, attempting to give her body some encouragement.
Her attempt was hardly enough to convince herself, especially when the paved road then came to an immediate stop. As if construction workers had simply abandoned the rest of their jobs, the road ended sharply. The path ahead was only filled with thin trees and more of the same ghostly mist that had followed her until now. Sadie blinked rapidly, hoping her eyes were just out of focus, but nothing changed.
“Great,” she said aloud, “just peachy. First, the car breaks down and now the only road through here has gone missing.”
She set down her luggage and guitar case and sat next to them. The damp surface of the road soaked into her jeans as she looked into an endless forest. She felt alone yet strangely surrounded by life – life that she just couldn’t see. She had felt this once before, as a young girl, daring herself to sink further and further into the mountain. That feeling called to her now.

My current project is inspired by my last trip to the mountains. The trees were blanketed in a thick white mist and nestled together in a palette of greens. My husband and I adventured into the forests on a whim. There was no clear path forward; each step of the trail had us cross over rocks of uneven and overgrown ground. It felt like we would get lost any moment and aimlessly wander the mountains until they swallowed us whole. We didn’t want to stop, we wanted to continue deeper, but it was getting late and we were both getting hungry.
This landscape bounced around in my mind and eventually transformed into a story about a young woman who gets lost in these same misty mountains. Will she choose to stay? Or will she obey her hunger and turn back home as we did?
I’m excited to tell Sadie’s story, and I’m very happy to have pictures and music like Avi Kaplan’s to take me right back to those mountains. The place where I could touch the clouds and the world was quiet.

When I’m looking for the next book to read, I always start at the beginning. What are the words that start the journey, and do they capture my attention enough to continue reading?
This quote is the start of my favorite book series of all time, the Chaos Walking Trilogy by Patrick Ness.
The opening lines in “The Knife of Never Letting Go” are humorous, but also spark interest by making the reader ask a question: “Wait, dogs can talk in this world? How is that possible?”
(Little did I know the emotional ride this series would take me on.)
In my own writing, I know that the first sentence(s) are key to gripping the reader. You have to convince them that this is a story worth sticking around for. As a budding writer, the first few words are some of the most difficult for me to write. I can be a bit picky with choosing what I read based on how it’s written, would I choose to read my own writing?
Something I have learned, however, is that sometimes you just have to let the words come to you, start with what you know. I plan to turn my story outline into chapters within the next month, so perhaps here soon I’ll be able to share the opening lines to a story of my own.

Welcome 📖
All good stories have a beginning, and this is one of them. Well, truthfully, it’s been about 15 years since the real beginning, but it’s never too late to pick up the pen again. I have stories to tell, words to write, and a dream to transport anyone who reads them to places that, until now, only existed in my mind. It sounds like magic, yet it happens all the time. Now, it’s finally time to write some magic of my own…
Let’s see where this takes us.
