My enjoyment of the transformations and powers aside, Sailor Moon changed how I felt about villains, heroes, and my view on animated media and the stories it could tell as a whole; suddenly, I had stories that had just as much depth and substance as the things that were “for the grown-ups”.
While I, by and large, have those impostor syndrome feels pretty well under control, they do surface from time to time because of the assumption that being successful as a creative looks the same for everyone and has the same level of output.

After a pretty solid exchange of ideas, we decided to continue the convo via DM when this happened: I’ve read your blog posts and I like everything I’ve seen… Read more Look, Ma! I’m a Writer!
