1. What first inspired you to write this particular story?
The turn of the year is approaching fast, and its a time where I catch myself feeling melancholic more often than not. Lately, there have been a lot of worries about relatives and friends filling my days, and I needed something sweet and deep to balance all the dark stuff I was wading through.
2. How did you come up with these characters?
Like almost always, they came to me on their own, begging me to be written. Molly, my main character, was a given. Joanne came in tow with her, with a good pinch of personality from a wonderful past lover sprinkled in. Jake was supposed to be mentioned in passing, but he's such a sweet guy, and before I knew it, he was filling a scene of his own with life.
3. How does it differ from some of your other stories?
This is softer and sweeter. It's a bit of coming-of-age and coming-out, and it is less about the sex itself as a driving force. Those who've read my stories know that almost all of them have power balances and submissive moments. This one doesn't. It's about falling in love against all rules, with an intensity that can crush your heart or make it fly.
4. What was the most challenging thing about writing this piece?
Not to rush things. I started what I thought were just a few thousand words, a short, sweet piece, but then it grew and grew.
5. Anything else you want to tell us about it?
It's a little over 10,000 words, so reserve some time.
It's also a story I invested a lot of emotions into. If you could see me, you could tell by my sweaty fingers.
It's about finding love and about letting go, about discovering yourself and facing change, about conquering fears.
Oh, and I almost forgot - it's a sapphic romance, as we don't have a "Lesbian Love Stories" category and I feel that love is the dominant motive.
I'd love it if you let me know if my newest story could light, perhaps, just a tiny spark for you.
