Hi!

Welcome to A Novel Detour!

I feel like there’s things I should say here, but for me should is a bad word. It evokes phrases like

paralyzing actuality or

draining fact. Which is basically lying. And I’m trying to be authentic.

No not authentic because that makes me think of

the exhausting truth.

Although yes, the truth is important, but

in this space I would rather think of it is as

spacious wonder

which for me is a fun way of saying curious.

And I love curious things, but I also crave accountability and systems,

so here you’ll find me exploring those curious things via letters and art, aka general creative merriment.

So glad you found your way here.

This is Liza. She is a character in my current WIP. She likes to roll her eyes whenever I mention writing.
