I read this series online (during Tumblr popularity era) called âIn the Company of Shadowsâ. Now that Iâm older and wiser, I think it must have been a roleplay that got turned into an incredibly long novel series.
Anyway, it had me in a chokehold at the time and inspired me to want to read more (it was the first story to make me feel in a while).
As I would drive to work and listen to music, my own story began forming in my head (fresh off of that read). I became inspired to start actually writing my thoughts down. Thatâs how I began writing my story (on my notepad app during an FT job, from all the ideas I developed driving).
