I’ve taken a lot of literature and writing classes over my last four years at the University of Michigan. From medieval women writers, to young adult literature, to writing for nonprofits and digital media writing, I’ve had the opportunity to experiment with a lot of different kinds of writing. I’ve done research, written magazine articles, grant proposals, and done extensive, extensive literary analysis, and I have really enjoyed getting to write about so many diverse and interesting topics and practice in different styles. But there’s something that’s always been missing: fiction. Having never taken a creative writing class, I have never written fiction in college. I think often, as a society, when we think about “writing” or being “a writer” we think about fiction writing, but it was an area of writing I had not had the opportunity to explore.

      From this page you’ll find my Capstone project, in which I took the long-awaited opportunity to dive head-first into fiction writing, as well as an assortment of other writing in various genres which inspired my choice in Capstone project.
