From Notebook Paper to Production:
I started writing For Such a Time as This when I was eight years old. I started my writing career with only the most shocking of melodramas. Dreaded cousins, scarlet fever, and the occasional tax collector haunted my protagonists, borrowed from my favorite stories. My mom gave me a notebook where I kept my hidden worlds, and I would show them to her proudly. Over the years my notebooks became a collection of unfinished narratives of worlds I wish I could complete. It wasn’t until my Junior year of college that I revisited those notebooks.
