I started this story at sixteen.

The Crystal Princess began as fanfiction. Sixteen-year-old me wrote it on fanfiction.net in the time between helping my family, doing chores, and trying to survive what felt like an eternal high school sentence.

The notebook page here is dated August 24, 2022. Now The Crystal Princess is becoming my first published fantasy series.
