Traci Ashbe Dark Fantasy Author

As I am writing this (in preparation for taking a short writing hiatus at the beginning of 2020), I am fresh off of seeing the new Star Wars movie for the first time. I’m not going to spend time talking about Star Wars on this blog because, well … why?

But watching this movie and discussing it extensively with positive fan communities like Youtini has stirred something up in me that I did not expect. Something I was not prepared for. Something I do not think I can ignore.

I suddenly have a very strong, almost uncontrollable urge to tell stories. Like, a lot of stories. More than I have felt motivated to write in quite some time.

How did we get here? It’s simple, really. I experienced a story. And sometimes, that’s all you actually need.
