Reviving the Vault: Old Stories, New Spark
There’s something magical about rediscovering old stories.
Recently, I’ve been reaching into the back corners of my writer’s vault—college projects I thought were long buried under newer ideas, evolving scripts, and the chaos of daily life. And what I found surprised me.
These stories still hum.
The characters, the concepts, the little lines I scribbled in margins—they’re not just echoes of who I was. They’re keys. Threads. Reminders of the storyteller I’ve always been. And pulling them back into the light has sparked something electric in me.
One story in particular has been calling to me again.
It was one of my earliest big ideas—written during a time of deep transition, bursting with themes I didn’t fully understand back then. But now… now I do. And revisiting it with fresh eyes (and a stronger pen) feels like cracking open a secret door that’s been waiting for me all along.
I’m not ready to share the name yet—but just know it’s coming.
It’s darker, it’s layered, and it has everything to do with hidden truths, memory, and what happens when we’re brave enough to finish the story.
Another little story is unfolding into the foundation of a dark fantasy trilogy. These books explore shadow, legacy, and the price of forgetting.
But here’s what I’ve realized:
Sometimes the ideas that scare us most are the ones with the most power.
Reconnecting with these pieces has given me a renewed sense of momentum for my current projects too—especially The Secrets of Starlight Lake and The Christmas Witch movie. There’s something grounding about linking past and present like this. Like stitching constellations across the timeline of my own voice.
It’s not about going backward. It’s about returning—with more wisdom, more courage, and more vision than ever before.
If you’ve got old drafts tucked away, I dare you to open one up.
Don’t wait for it to be perfect… there might be more magic waiting there than you remember.
