    Quest II — Publication

    Half Thoughts

    Write and self-publish a debut collection of phrases on self, sex, and society — an experiment in form and sincerity disguised as satire.
    Outcome
    Published March 2025. Available globally on Amazon in print and Kindle. Readers describe it as a mirror — witty, honest, uncomfortably relatable.
