WRITING

Stories to Tell, Stories I've Told

As any artist/creative will tell you, a piece is never "finished," you've just encounter the Law of Diminishing Returns. A not-insignificant part of my writer heart wants to tear all of these pieces off the internet and furiously edit them because (shockingly) 19-year-old Natalie was not working with the same toolset as I am now. But! In the interest of not letting perfection get in the way of progress, I am keeping all of these wonderful selections from years gone by available to you. Keep a soft spot in your heart for Baby Natalie while reading these—her bubble is still so small and she relies too heavily on alliteration with her flair for the dramatic. The term listed with each piece indicates which edition is available here, though other versions with different revisions likely exist elsewhere.
