It's that time of the year, the seasons change and some intrepid writers embark on an epic adventure of #Preptober while preparing for the crazy deadline of National Novel Writing Month (though I admit RLJI is its own crazy deadline too). I don't have a great track record for either challenge to be quite honest (look at me, sliding in just under the deadline here). But I still keep trying anyway. Even if it makes me enemies.

The world needs stories. We need the stories that are primal screams of injustice and survival. We need the stories that are escapism at its finest. We need the artists to envision the possibilities when things seem impossible.

I'm a bit of a Rebel during the fall and this year is no exception. I'm revisiting a very old and very dark story of one of my headmates. She's a survivor who learns how to become a hero after losing most of her hope in the world, when she stumbles into the life of a member of a safehouse for super powered individuals.

I like these kinds of stories. The ones where perseverance is rewarded, where the underdog rises up and wins. Where even when it's the darkest story, there is a glimmering possibility of hope and belonging.

I'm going to get my stories into the world this year because they're one of the ones we need.

Definitely a lot to have to deal with, and it's always nice to see authors in times like these focusing on survival-themed narratives. Nice write.
