Four years ago I stepped away from publishing original work during a tumultuous time in my life. My marriage was crashing, I wasn’t happy with what I was producing anymore, and I just needed to take a hard look at everything I was doing and what my life was like. Then in the beginning of 2015 it happened: I moved out and filed for divorce.
By this time I had already discovered fanfiction and fallen in love with the entire concept – hard.
I loved that there were communities of thousands and millions of writers creating transformative works on platforms hosted all over the internet.
It was and is a global phenomenon that changed my life.
That’s when, in the middle of a rough divorce, that I started my first fanfiction and created “Sif Shadowheart” to be my presence and pen-name in the fandom realm.
Fast forward two million words and three years later.
I’m going through another transformative, difficult time but soul-searching and constant encouragement and interest renewed my love of writing when at one point I gave serious thought to walking away from it altogether.
And now Sif Abrams has been born.
Not quite the same presence and subject matter as Sif Shadowheart but a pen-name for a fresh start at a vocation that at times has been the only thing keeping me breathing from one day to the next.
Thank you for coming on this journey with me.
~ Sif
