Daughter of Sappho

It seems my whole life has been nothing but a nightmare. I've always used stories in every form to escape, to find a bit of solace. I would think, "Yes. Maybe one day I can escape this and become the hero and get the girl." One problem: There is a serious lack of lesbian stories written by lesbians for lesbians. As a child this made me uncomfortable, but I managed. As an adult, I don't think just managing is enough. I know my lesbian sisters out there are starving for a story where the lesbian doesn't die... Or worse. I will do my best to make it happen. I hope one of my silly little tales brings comfort to just one other lesbian out there. I hope she knows she's not alone and she is perfectly fine just the way she is. Doing this is a huge leap for me. I've been pulled every which way by people who don't value writing. I've been attacked by homophobes. I nearly lost my life. But I survived. I'm not going to waste my chance to do the two things I've always wanted to do: write stories and help my sisters. I'm currently working two jobs and I'm still struggling to keep my head above water. Your support would mean the world to me. I'd be able to breath a little easier knowing I don't have to choose between bills and food for the week. Additionally, I'm hoping I'll be able to quit one of my two jobs so I might be able to focus more on writing. Ultimately, my goal is be able to work on something I've been calling "Project: Leonhardt." It will be an online serial with chapters posted every week. Who knows? I might even turn it into an actual book. It's a dream I know Sappho would be proud of.
